THE MAHABHARATA
 
"That man is happy who has universal
equanimity, who does not worry himself,
who speaks the truth, who has disgust (for
mundane things) and no desire to do this
 
and that.
 
'प्रापणात्सर्वकामानां परित्यागो विशिष्यते ।
नान्तं सर्वविधित्सानां गतपर्वोऽस्ति कश्चन ।
faadza fafecara: aza faida aigs ॥

Giving up all desires is better than
realising them. Nobody has, till now,
finished with all his desires to do things.
Turn away from desires to do things and
you, creature of desire! with disgust (for
things), quiet yourself.
 
'gar_qfdgı yarai qur sty: qÙ aa: 1
प्रज्ञा निःश्रेयसी लोके प्रशा स्वर्गो मतस्सताम् ॥
 
Knowledge is the support of beings;
knowledge is considered the greatest
acquisition; knowledge is the greatest
happiness in the world; knowledge is
considered by the good as heaven.
