| 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. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| When shall I behold Thee, three-eyed and blue-throated, sitting on the hump of Thy huge and spirited bull, with the battle axe and deer in Thy two hands and Uma holding thy body in embrace, while the celestial attendants play about, the divinities like Brahma sing hymns if praise and the ascetics cry "Hail"? |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Inhabitant of the cremation ground. Om smasana vasine namah
The aspirant ought to behold the body as a cremation ground even when alive in order to gain dispassion. |
