QUIT SMOKING

Here are some quotes from Bhagvad Gita.

Anti Smoking campaigns should use these quotes in their campaign.


The desire for sensual pleasures fades away if one abstains from sense enjoyment, but the craving [for sense enjoyment] remains. The craving also disappears from the one who has seen [or known] the Supreme."

A person is said to have achieved yoga, the union with the Self, when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom from all desires, and becomes absorbed in the Self alone."

There is neither Self-knowledge nor Self-perception to those whose senses are not under control. Without Self-perception there is no peace; and without peace there can be no happiness."

Sever the ignorant doubt in your heart with the sword of self-knowledge. Observe your discipline. Arise."

"With the destruction of the family, the eternal family traditions are destroyed, and immorality prevails due to the destruction of family traditions."

"The foods that promote longevity, virtue, strength, health, happiness, and joy; are juicy, smooth, substantial, and agreeable to the stomach."

"Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego-all together these eight contitute my separted material energies"

The mind acts like an enemy for those who do not control it."
