-Lord Krishna



I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear. But those who worship me with love live in me, and I come to life in them.



-Lord Krishna





• One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honor and dishonor; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self

-Bhagavad Gita
