2 Quotes by Lakshmi Holmstrom

When I went to the sage Aravana adigal I was heartbroken and distraught. The words he gave me then were these: “Know these – to be born in this world is to experience sorrow. To end the cycle of birth is to achieve happiness. The first of these is the result of desire; the second is achieved by those who no longer are ensnared by desire.

It is well to love beautiful things, but do not let them possess you.
