True happiness is seldom the result of owning much land, huge palaces or commanding powerful armies. When a man has no sons to leave all this to, he feels unhappy. His successes appear futile to him.
Mahabharata
Jealousy destroys the greatest of dynasties.
Upanishads
He sleeps soundly who is undisturbed by the conflict of his emotions and desires.
Hinduism
Shun ceremonies and penances. Think of Om and perform your duty.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
Wherever I be, O Lord, may I always have unflinching devotion to Thy lotus feet.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who is the Cuaase of sequence (in the laws of Nature)
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om anakalita - sadrsya - cibuka - sri - virajitayai namah. Salutations to Her whose chin is peerless in beauty.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Lord of Parvati! O bestower of happiness! Thy tender feet are engaged in kicking at the chest of the God of Death, in pressing down the terrible demon of epilepsy, in travelling on the mountain, and in rubbing against the crown of the celestials that prostrate before Thee. (Therefore, as a measure of protection) move about always putting on the bejewelled foot-wear of my mind.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Worthy of union. Om yojyaya namah Siva is the goal of Yoga.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
Nothing can be done except through the force of the Mother.
