10. Pleasure derived through sense-organs is dependent on
external factors, prone to distrubances, terminable, a cause of bondage and conflicts and is not a source of happiness but misery only.
-- Pra. Sā. 1.76
11. What light can a lamp give to a person whose vision itself
is capable of destroying darkness ? In the same way when the soul is a fountain of happiness and bliss, what joy can sensual pleasures give it?
- Pra. Sā. 1. 67
Twenty Nine Reflections on Solitariness
1. None can share another person's sorrows. Every being is born alone and dies alone.
- Sū. Kr. Sū. 2.1.13
2. Man has to bear his sorrow all alone. Neither his friends
nor sons nor his relatives can share his sufferings because karma follows only the doer.
--- Utta. Sū. 13.23
3. I am one and alone. Nobody is mine nor do I belong to any body.
— Ācā. Sū. 1.8.6
