The uncommonly known secret of this world is that desire can never be eliminated by satiating it. It is like attempting to extinguish a fire by pouring clarified butter on it. The fire does seem to go away, but only momentarily. It then flares up with redoubled vigour.

The highest satisfaction comes from knowing that our work is making a difference to the world—in small or big ways—and in doing it, we are using all our talents to the best of our ability.

In Bhakti, you can provide to your mind the names, forms, virtues, pastimes, and attributes of the Lord, and thereby dovetail it in the direction of the Divine.
