| Ramayana |
| All the knowledge in the world is no good if it deserts a person in the hour of need. When a person is desperate, the knowledge must open up avenues of help. Only then, the great effort put in acquiring knowledge becomes worthwhile. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| O Lord omniscient, Thou verily art the absolute Consciousness, the Atman and master of all beings, the formless Reality. Thou revealest Thyself unto those whose eye of knowledge has opened, and who, like the bee, have their mind ever fixed on Thy lotus feet. |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O man who deems yourself intelligent! Will ( the talk of) pot, lump of clay, atoms, smoke, fire, mountain, cloth, thread (and the rest of the logician's favourite examples and categories) ever reple the terrible god of death? In vain, then, is all your straining of the throat in heated controversies. Worship the Lord instead and attain quickly to supreme bliss. |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
Terrific. Om bhimaya namah
Siva is both soft and terrific. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
