Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“We behold what we are, and we are what we behold.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results; all his selfish desires have been consumed in the fire of knowledge. 20 The wise, ever satisfied, have abandoned all external supports. Their security is unaffected by the results of their action; even while acting, they really do nothing at all. 21 Free from expectations and from all sense of possession, with mind and body firmly controlled by the Self, they do not incur sin by the performance of physical action. 22 They live in freedom who have gone beyond the dualities of life. Competing with no one, they are alike in success and failure and content with whatever comes to them. 23 They are free, without selfish attachments; their minds are fixed in knowledge. They perform all work in the spirit of service, and their karma is dissolved.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“Reshape yourself through the power of your will; never let yourself be degraded by self-will.”
Ved Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
“You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. 48 Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind.”
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
