Quotes by Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar  (?)

“In happiness and misery, remember one thing. Sex and wealth are the great symbols of manhood. They are inspiring symbols. They sustain life. But they are unbridled. There is no knowing when they will run amuck. Their reins must at all times be in the hands of duty.’ Oh man, desire is never satisfied by indulgence. Like the sacrificial fire, it ever grows with every offering.”
Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar, Yayati: A Classic Tale of Lust

“Gods are addicted to the pleasures and the demons are blindly worshipping power.”
Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar, Yayati: A Classic Tale of Lust

“A creeper has many flowers; some are offered to God in worship and so arouse devotion. Some adorn the lovely ringlets of maidens and are silent witnesses to the hours of love and pleasures indulged in. The same is true of humans born in this world. Some live to be old and some rise to honour and fame and some are crushed by poverty. But in the end, all these flowers fall to the ground and are lost in the earth.”
Vishnu Sakharam Khandekar, Yayati: A Classic Tale of Lust
