Quotes by Satyarth Nayak (?)

“Vijaya is victory over others. Jaya is victory over one's own self. One's own mind and heart, thoughts and actions. Vijaya is external but Jaya is internal and that's always the hardest.”
― Satyarth Nayak, Mahagatha - 100 Tales from the Puranas

“And what are the properties of dharma?’ ‘It has ten properties. Truth. Non-violence. Charity. Forgiveness. Restraint. Compassion. Cleanliness. Austerities. Love. And not stealing from others. These ten organs animate dharma. Hence, it’s called Dashanga.”
― Satyarth Nayak, Mahagatha: 100 Tales from the Puranas
