| Ramayana |
| Most of the suffering in this world grows out of our pride. Our egos cannot accept defeat or downfall. They drive us on and on, from one height to another, never allowing us a moment of peace. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| Victory goes to the one who practises dharma. |
|
| Upanishads |
| God is joy, unceasing joy. The joy of our senses is but temporal. |
|
| Hinduism |
| The sage speaks. You hear what you want. I hear what I want. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Wealth, noble ancestry, physical beauty, asceticism, scriptural knowledge, power, energy, courage, might, diligence, prudence and Yogic practice - all these I deem of no avail in the worship of the suprem Being. For, indeed, the almighty Lord is pleased with the devotee not for anything else but for his great devotion to Him. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is the Ruler of the sense organs. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om tatanka - yugali - bhuta - tapan odupa mandalayai namah.
Salutations to Her who has the orbs of the sun and the moon as Her pair of ear pendants. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| What does it matter where a man lives - be it in a cave or a house , in the open or in a forest , on a mountain top or in the midst of fires? O Lord! If a person's mind resides always at Thy feet, his is the Yogic state, and he is the supreme Yogi and the happy man. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Doer of all. Om sarvakaraya namah
He is the efficient cause of the world. |

| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| Let the power of the Mother work in you, but be careful to avoid any mixture or substitution, in its place, of either a magnified ego-working or a force of Ignorance presenting itself as Truth. |
