| Ramayana |
| The behaviour of an upset man is unpredictable. He begins to look on blessings as curses and on curses as blessings. His disturbed state of mind may prevent him from seeing things in their true prespective. |
|
| Mahabharata |

|
| Upanishads |
| Inside this body of flesh, blood and bones, there is another of vibrating energy. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| I take refuge in the self-existent Being in whom the universe rests, from whom it has sprung, by whome it has been brought into being, who Himself constitutes it, and who is at the same time destinct from both cause and effect. |
|
| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is the highest goal of those who have attained release from rebirth. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om bhanda - putra - vadh odyukta - bala - vikrama - naditayai namah.
Salutations to Her who is overjoyed to see Her daughter Bala who is intent on slaying the son of Bhanda. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
O Lord of Bhavani! Whosoever worships Thy lotus feet-- from him the god of Death runs away fearing another kick at the chest; him the Immortals adore by performing the 'light-waving' ceremony with the gems of lamp-like brilliance studding their crowns; him the damsel of liberation holds in her tight embrace. What is there difficult of achievement for him in the three worlds?
(The allusion is Markandeya who was saved by Siva from the god of Death, It is implied that Siva is equally merciful towards all devotees and so the God of Death should beware, knowing that a devotee is deathless in spirit.) |

| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
The Great Act. Om mahakarmane namah
Rhythmically propelling the universe is the great act. |

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

to live is better,
to be, that is perfect. |
