Never leave a thing undone and waiting for the morrow. There is no tomorrow. What has to be done must be attempted today itself. Procrastination is not the answer. The greatest dreams remain unfulfilled if left for tomorrow.
Mahabharata
Great kings are temperate by nature.
Upanishads
Do not hesitate to protect yourself from evil.
Hinduism
The soul does not age though the body does.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
We contemplate on the Indweller of all. We mediate upon the Lord supreme. May that destroyer of all ills ever direct us.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who paced the three worlds and whose vehicle is the bird Garuda.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om vadana - smara - mangalya - grha -torana - cillikayai namah. Salutations to Her whose face, the auspicious home of Kama (Cupid), has eyebrows that resemble archways leading to that abode of beauty.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Lord! Thou who art fond of residing in fortresses (Durga)! Take Thy residence always in the well-supplied fortress of my mind, having calmness as the moat, unyielding resolution as the surrounding walls, the rising multitude of virtues as the faithful army, the powerful senses located in the body as the gates, and knowledge as abounding wealth.
(There is pun on the word durga. It means a fortress and also Parvati the Divine Mother.)
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
Mercury - Budha. Om atraye namah.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
