| Ramayana |
| There are times when a clever man refuses to see the truth or be reasonable. When pride is at stake, he becomes blind to all else. For an arrogant man, there can be no greater dishonour than loss of face. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| The sinner dies of his own mistakes. |
|
| Upanishads |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O all-pervading one! Unto me who am engaged in Thy worship, vouchsafe ethernal bliss at once. How could I possibly bear the grief, if, as a result of Thy worship, Thou bestowest on me the position of Brahma or Visnu, and still I fail to find Thee in heaven or earth after searching for Thee in heaven or earth after searching for Thee as a bird and a beast?
(The allusion is to the episode in the Puranas of Brahma and Visnu taking the form of a swan and a boar respectively, and going up and down to find out the extremities of Siva who appeared as a tower of Light. Both of them failed in their effort to discover the limits of Divine glory.) |
