| One of the ways in which nobility distinguishes itself from common people is in the value that they attach to a vow. A promise once given must be kept under all conditions. This value is ingrained in the royal heirs from their childhood. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| Were it not for Thy indifference , why dost Thou not cancel the writ of my destiny, which is so conductive to evil desires and so unfavourable to Thy constant contemplation? Do not plead incapacity; for , how didst Thou, with but the tips of Thy finger-nails pluck off, without any exertion whatever, the head if that Brahma, which is so firm and hard? (The reference is to certain Pauranika accounts of Sive humbling the pride of Brahma by nipping off one of his five heads for an offence of his. This is to show that even Brahma who is the determiner of the destinies of all, is under the control of Siva) |

| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
