“Wishes and fears are illusions, Dil Bahadur, not realities. You must practice detachment.”
“The fear is not real, Dil Bahadur; it is only in your mind, like all other things. Our thoughts form what we believe to be reality.”
“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. ”
“Most people live with pleasant illusions, but leaders must deal with hard realities.”
“Depending on the reality one must face, one may prefer to opt for illusion.”
“Fear is the strong passion; it is with fear that you must trifle, if you wish to taste the intensest joys of living.”
