“O MAN! Offer Thy labyrinthine longings into a monotheistic bonfire consecrated to the unparalleled God.
Burn desire for human affection in the fire of aspiration for GOD alone, a love solitary because omnipresent!
Throw faggot of ignorance to incandesce the blaze of insight! Devour all sorrows in the sorrow for God's absence.
Consume all regrets in meditative bliss!”
― Paramahamsa Yogananda, God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita
