| Ramayana |
| Time can dull the sharpest ambition. One can laugh sorrowfully at what one would have gladly died for long ago. The intensity of emotion at a particular time does not let this happen before. |
 |
| Mahabharata |
| Strategy should be revealed or concealed according to situation, as a tortoise reveals or conceals its limbs. |
 |
| Upanishads |
| May I use my eyes for seeking good in all things. |
 |
| Hinduism |
| Welcome the rain-bearing cloud. They bring the promise of new life. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| Om. May my limbs, speech, breath, eye, ear, strength and all senses become perfected. Everything is the Brahman proclaimed in the Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman. May Brahman never reject me. May there be no denial at least from me. May I, who am devoted to the Atman, be endowed with all the virtues taught in the Upanishads. Om Peace, Peace, Peace. |

| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to the unshakeably firm One. |
 |
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om karanguli - nakh otpanna - narayana dasakrtyai namah. Salutations to Her who out of Her finger nails recreated all the ten Incarnations of Vishnu to destroy the Asuras slain by Him in His incarnations and now recreated magically by Bhanda out of missile of his. |
 |
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Lord! Thou Resident of the Mountain! Thou the Primeval Hunter! Go not hither and thither, but reside within me alone. For in the forest of my mind there are many beasts of prey like envy, infatuation and the rest. Killing them, Thou shalt satisfy Thy fondness for the hunt. |
 |
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
All activities are His. Om sarvakarmane namah Nought in the universe moves without His will. |
 |
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| He is the companion who never fails, the friend whose love comforts and strengthens. |
