| It is not easy to predict behaviour. A King may have huge armies but instead of waging a battle and winning his prize by the might of his arms, he prefers to steal it. Perhaps stolen fruits are sweeter. |

| Mahabharata |
| To overcome the enemy, offer his near one all the enemy's wealth and position. |

| 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. |

| 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) |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Self - manifestation. Om svayambhutaya namah
His manifest state (the Immanent) is His own will. |
