Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“I am time, the destroyer of all; I have come to consume the world.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“Selfish action imprisons the world. Act selflessly, without any thought of personal profit.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

“Feelings of heat and cold, pleasure and pain, are caused by the contact of the senses with their objects. They come and they go, never lasting long. You must accept them.”
Anonymous, Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“We must act in a selfless spirit, Krishna says, without ego-involvement and without getting entangled in whether things work out the way we want; only then will we not fall into the terrible net of karma. We cannot hope to escape karma by refraining from our duties: even to survive in the world, we must act.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita
