The less your needs, the stronger your integrity.

Lesser the needs, better the life.

If you want growth in life and in society, you must scale back the brakes on your desires.

My needs are less, hence my integrity is dangerous.

There is a huge difference between what you need and what you want.

Saint or sage or the awakened being is not the one free from all desires and expectations, but the one who has an active conscience to see the real implications of those desires and expectations and then act accordingly for the best possible outcome for the self as well as the society.

I can use words to merely paint a picture, but no matter how hard I try, words are always inadequate to depict the highest of realizations.

What is holy, what is not, can't be determined by rituals and ceremonies, it can only be determined by human action, for every act of humaneness is holiness itself.

Read a few books, you live a little, but help a few people, you live a lifetime.
