Before creation I alone was, there was no other existence of the nature of cause and effect different from Me. After the creative cycle ends also, I alone exist. For, this universe is also Myself, and when everything is dissolved in its cause in Pralaya, what remains is only Myself.KrishnaDwaipayana Vyasa

Pleasure from the senses seems like nectar at first, but it is bitter as poison in the end.KrishnaDwaipayana Vyasa
