Quotes by Carole Satyamurti (?)

“This is our task: be serene at all times, do not be vengeful, nor scorn your enemy; speak truthfully, befriend the virtuous, be equable in the face of disaster. Be aware that everything must pass, just as clouds arise, drift, and disperse, so do not seek to cling to anything.”
― Carole Satyamurti, Mahabharata: A Modern Retelling

“Yudhishthira,” said Krishna with a smile,
“time flows on, day by day, and waits for no one.
We do not know when we will meet our death.
To hesitate, to turn away from dharma,
Never prolongs life. But it costs a man
His honor – and that loss is worse than death.
Do not divide your mind against itself
Through doubt and paralyzing cogitation.
The great man acts, as time demands of him.”
― Carole Satyamurti, Mahabharata: A Modern Retelling
