Quotes by Ramananda Prasad (?)

“You have control over doing your respective duty, but no control or claim over the result. Fear of failure, from being emotionally attached to the fruit of work, is the greatest impediment to success because it robs efficiency by constantly disturbing the equanimity of mind.”
― Ramananda Prasad, The Bhagavad Gita

“Peace of mind is brought about by dhyana alone. Dhyana is holding on to a single thought and putting off all other thoughts.”
