| Ramayana |
| A father's love should be healthy. He must care for his son but he should not try to protect him all the time. The son must learn to tackle the problems of life by himself. Overprotection is not helpful but harmful many a time. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| He, who can preserve equanimity in provocative situations, deserves to rule. |
|
| Upanishads |
| Happiness brings serenity. |
|
| Hinduism |
| Names are true friends. When a man dies, all except his name leave him. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |

Terrific. Om bhimaya namah
Siva is both soft and terrific. |
