Vijay Anand Tripathi

“laziness and irregular practice corrupts the intelligence of scholars and ruins their knowledge. Women under the influence of others are soon ruined. Lack or shortage of seeds results in lower crop output. Similarly, in the absence of the commander, the army can never win a war. Thus, in order to get superior results, the importance of regular practice must be understood.”
― R.P. Jain, Complete Chanakya Neeti

“Craving for sense pleasures is not removed but aggravated by indulgence, even as ghee poured into fire strengthens it. One who aspires for peace and happiness should instantly renounce craving and seek pleasures of the mind, which neither grow old nor cease as the body ages.”
― Sharath Komarraju, 51 Lesser Known Tales From the Mahabharata

“No, I need all this electricity, this scientific manure—all of this. I also need the medical science that cures animal diseases. But we need to throw to the winds the notion that animals exist solely for human utility.”
― S.L. Bhyrappa, Orphaned

“For a Brahmin, who gives importance to acts, even the pleasures of heaven are useless; whereas, for a Kshatriya, who takes pride and feels honoured in taking risks, he is least bothered about his life. Any man, who exercises control over all his senses, remains unmoved by the looks/beauty of a young woman. He is never affected by disorders like lust, anger, greed, liquor, infatuation,”
