In order to overcome our desires and to renounce all those things, our love and inclination for which are wont so to inflame the will that it delights therein, we require a more ardent fire and a nobler love.
– Saint John of the Cross

"0" man, know ye that renunciation is the law of life. Renunciation is the path that leads to friendliness, co‑operation and unity. Renounce selfishness, greed, hatred and egoism. Embrace love, humility, contentment and charity. You will have Rama Rajya or the Kingdom of Heaven here upon earth, right now.
~Swami Sivananda
