14 Quotes by Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar

The world errs, even realises the errors, but seldom learns from them.

In this world everybody obviously lives for himself. As the roots of the trees and creepers turn to moisture nearby, so do men and women look for support to near relations for their happiness. This is what the world calls love, affection or friendship. In fact, it is only the love of self. If the moisture on one side dries up, the trees and the creepers do not dry up, but their roots look for it elsewhere, be it far or near. They find it, draw it in and so remain.

We are all a little wiser towards the end of our lives and the wisdom often comes from the pain suffered by oneself.

Mother was still brooding over the loss of her offspring many years ago but the same mother could cheerfully look upon the death of a mother bird. She had admiration for her son who had killed that innocent bird. She could partake of the dead mother’s meat with relish. I was baffled by this contradiction in life.

Gods are addicted to the pleasures and the demons are blindly worshipping power.
