| Ramayana |
| Strange things inspire fear. Where there is knowledge, there is light. Darkness implies the unknown. A person gains confidence on hearing about familiar things. Even strange things are more acceptable if presented along with the known. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| Everyone ignores the poor relative just as birds ignore a fruitless tree. |
|
| Upanishads |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Thou Master of all! For the attainment of liberation, is it not enough for men like me to serve Thee even once by prostration, by praise, by listening to divine stories, by worship, by contemplation, or by visualisation? By what else but these can liberation be achieved? If, however, it is attainable by any of these, what is there to be gained by the arduous worship of ephemeral deities? |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
| The Saturn. Om sanaye namah. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| At the very moment when everything seems to go from bad to worse, it is then that we must make a supreme act of faith and know that the Grace will never fail us. |
