IT'S LIKE RIVER-WATER FLOWING INTO THE OCEAN BUT LEAVING IT UNAFFECTED AND UNMODIFIED IN SPITE OF CONSTANT ACCESSION


 The Gitâ, II.70: "Not he that lusteth after objects of desire but he alone obtaineth peace in whom desires lose themselves like river-water flowing into the ocean but leaving it unaffected and unmodified in spite of constant accession."

- Swami Vivekananda
