Back to Spiritual Quotes
Hypocritical, proud, and arrogant, living in delusion and
clinging to deluded ideas, insatiable in their desires, they pursue their
unclean ends. Although burdened with fears that end only with death, they
still maintain with complete assurance, "Gratification of lust is the highest
that life can offer."
-Bhagavad Gita 16:10-11
