The chieftain must lead his army from the front. He should be able to set personal examples of bravery. Seeing these, his soldiers will be inspired to go all out for the cause. The chieftain is a role model for the rest of the men.
Mahabharata
To know the secrets of a person, become like him. A sadhu if he is one. Or a scavenger if he is one.
Upanishads
Madhyam (in the middle) are they who understand the speaker's intent but do not act without explicit instructions.
Hinduism
Righteousness is the sceptre with which the weak may rule the strong.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
Thou art manifest in all creatures, in the animal as well as in the holy man. Thou art manifest in all directions; in the sky as well as in rivers and mountains.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who is unchanging.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om nakha - didhiti - samchanna - namajjana - tamo - gunayai namah. Salutations to Her the illuming splendour of whose toe nails dispels the darkness of ignorance in the votaries prostrating at Her feet.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
Alas! Desiring wealth in order to provide myself with food, I wander in vain from one person to another. O all-knowing one! I am not acquainted with the way of worshipping Thee. O Lord of all beings! O destroyer of the sins of devotees! Thou shouldst save me, at least for the reason that, on account of the maturing of my previously acquired merits (as it were), Thou residest in the heart of all beings (including myself).
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Omni-eyed. Om sahasrakshaya namah He sees through all the eyes of all beings.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
We aspire for a perfect faithfulness which would make us worthy of it.
