| Ramayana |
| Time can bring about great changes. It may make a person hate what he loved before. Or love what he disliked previously. Yet the arrogant man finds it very difficult to acknowledge that he was wrong because his pride does not let him do so. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Just as the ocean swells when, attended by the stars, the full moon - pure, auspicious, deer-marked and shattering darkness - is revealed in the sky by the 'eastern mountain', do one's joy increases beyond measure when Thou - who art united with the Divine Mother (Soma), who art pure, auspicious and perfect, and who bearest the deer and destroyest ignorance, appearest in the heart, - Thy nectarine form being revealed by the mountain of virtues acquired in the past. Then there is occupation, indeed, for the wise. |
