Just think for a moment whether the rich, the strong, the highly educated or the clever are happy. No one is happy, you will find. If you must be happy, one of two things must happen. All your desires must be fulfilled, or you should not have any desire. Of these, the reduction of desire is the easier path.

- Divine Discourse, November 26, 1962

By constant contemplation on God the mind should be turned away from mundane desires. - Baba
