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
The nature of man pushes him towards desire as invariably as sunrise follows sunset.
Upanishads
Do not hesitate to protect yourself from evil.
Hinduism
Truth is eternal. So is Bliss.
Universal Prayers - From Vedas
May my body become pure. May I be free from impurity and sin. May I realise myself as the light divine. May my mind become pure. May my mind become pure. May I be free from impurity and sin. May I realise myself as the light divine. May my Self become pure. May I be free from impurity and sin. May I realise myself as the light divine.
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram
Salutations to Him who has become the universe.
Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Om sinjana - mani - manjtra - mandita - sripad ambujayai namah. Salutations to Her whose lotus - feet are adorned with tinkling anklets set with jewels.
Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya
O Kingly swan of my mind! Why do you wander in the muddy tanks of worldliness, fit only for mean creatures? Go unto the pure and perpetual lake of divine contemplation, having eternal bliss for its waters, the minds of heavenly sages for its lotus flowers, the holy men as the birds resorting to itm sins as the dirt it clenses away, and virtuous disposition as the fragrance it emits.
Siva Sahasranama Stotram
The Great Strength. Om mahabalaya namah.
Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry)
...The Sadhak's aspiration, self-consecration, assent and support to the Mother's workings, his rejection of all that comes in the way is very necessary - indispensable.
