Time can bring about great changes. It may make a person hate what he loved before. Or love what he disliked previously. Yet the arrogant man finds it very difficult to acknowledge that he was wrong because his pride does not let him do so.
Mahabharata
The wise do not anger at the words of a fool.
Upanishads
Shreya and Priya are like twin sisters. Only the enlightened can distinguish between them.
Hinduism
The body is the cradle of the soul and the head its pillow.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
The sages know Thee to be the primary cause of things, the greatest of the objects ever expressed in words, and the ultimate goal of all spiritual paths. Thou art verily the supreme existence.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who is the Life Breath in all creatures.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om nava campaka - puspabha - nasa - danda - vira -jitayai namah. Salutations to Her whose shapely nose is like a fresh - blown Campaka bud.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
In this world, many are the minor deities who bestow paltry rewards. I ddo not, even in dream, attach any importance either to them or to their worship or to the results accruing from it. O Lord, O Thou bestower of happiness and the embodiment of all goodness! For long have I been praying for Thy lotus feet, which are difficult of attainment even for divinities like Vishnu and Brahma who live in close proximity to Thee.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Universal Seer. Om visalakshaya namah Nothing escapes His ken.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
He must go into himself and find the presence of the Divine Mother within and the psychic behind the heart and from there the knowledge will come and all the power to dissolve the inner obstacles.
