| Ramayana |
| Only values are permanent. Values such as trust, faith, belief and love remain immutable through generations. Everything else grows, develops, declines and perishes. All else is temporary and the wise man realises this. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| He who praises himself feels deep inside that he is actually undeserving (so others will not praise him.) |
|
| Upanishads |
| The sword lies unassuming in its sheath. So does the spirit slumber in the mind. |
|
| Hinduism |
| This world is in perpetual motion. Only God is motionless. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| The wise, attaining to Thee alone the surest refuge, cross the terrible ocean of birth and death, the cause of endless pain and misery. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who has lovely hair. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om kul amrt aika - rasikayai namah.
Salutations to Her who (as the Kundalini) revels in the nectar flowing from the Sahasrara through the whole of the Kula path (I.e. the Susumna). |
|
| 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 |
The Treasure. Om nidhaye namah
The Padma nidhi and the Sankha nidhi are all He. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
| You have only to aspire, to keep yourself open to the Mother, to reject all that is contrary to her will and to let her work in you... |
