| Ramayana |
| It is not everyone who will offer to arbitrate in a quarrel or help someone in trouble. They may remain mute spectators to the entire incident. The instincts of self preservation are often stronger than that of chivalry. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| I contemplate in my heart on the supreme Deity, Siva, the three-eyed and luminous Being, who is to be known through the Vedas, who shines in the heart of creatures, who destroys the thrr bodies(gross,subtle and causal) of His worshippers, who is the first of all beings, who is majestic with His pile of matted locks, who wears a garland of quivering serpents, who sports a deer in hand, who is merciful towards me, who is the lord of all creatures, who is the support of pure consciousness, who is inseparable from the Divine Mother, and who has disguished Himself in a worldly garb. |
