Vanity and pride make a man charge into battle forgetting all considerations of his responsibilities. Little do they think about what will happen of these responsibilities in case they fall in battle. They live only for the present and do not think of the future.
Mahabharata
Killing the enemy's son delivers a mortal blow to him.
Upanishads
The Creator made life and then inspiration. Without inspiration, evolution would not be possible.
Hinduism
The eye is not the sight. It is only an instrument of sight.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
We contemplate on the Indweller of all. We mediate upon the Lord supreme. May that destroyer of all ills ever direct us.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who is vastly rich in knowledge and other allied qualities.
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
O Lord! Thou that bearest a skull in hand! Thou mendicant! Thou auspicious and all-pervading One! Accepting this monkey of my mind as my devout offereing, bind it with (the cord of) devotion and bring it under Thy control - this extremely wayward monkey that always wanders in the forest of ignorance, dancing on the hill-tops of young women's breasts, and moving about quickly in diverse directions (according to its promptings) along the branches of worldly desires.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Self of all beings.Om sarvatmane namah
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
