| Ramayana |
| The colour of gold can beguile the rich and the poor equally. It seldom matters whether a person already possesses it. He always wants more and tries to do everything to get it. Even his own safety does not matter to him then. |

| Mahabharata |
| Choose only the soft - spoken as emissaries. |
|
| Upanishads |
| God is joy, unceasing joy. The joy of our senses is but temporal. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| I take refuge in the self-existent Being in whom the universe rests, from whom it has sprung, by whome it has been brought into being, who Himself constitutes it, and who is at the same time destinct from both cause and effect. |

| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to the Ever-pure One, beyond the triple modes of nature. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om akulayai namah.
Salutations to Her who is also the Akula (Siva) who is in the thousand-petalled lotus above the Kula Path. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
When shall I, in a blissful mood, pass like a second the long period (Kalpa) covered by the life-time of many Brahmas, staying in the very presence of Siva along with the goblins in a mansion of gold and precious gems situated in (the heavenly moutain of) Kailasa and praying with hands folded and held on the head, "Save me, O supremely auspicious and all-pervading One! Thou that art united with the Divine Mother! Thou Lord of all the worlds!"
(A Kalpa is a thousand divine years, which is equal to 432 million human years. It is one day time of a Brahma and the duration of one cyclic manifestation of the cosmos. At the end of it a Pralaya or dissolution of equal duration takes place. After that a new day begins for Brahma. 360 such days and nights constitute one Brahmic year. 100 such Brahmic years mark the lifetime of a Brahma, after which the presiding Brahma is aborbed in Mahavisnu; and another Brahma takes up the reins.) |
