| Ramayana |
| The behaviour of an upset man is unpredictable. He begins to look on blessings as curses and on curses as blessings. His disturbed state of mind may prevent him from seeing things in their true prespective. |
|
| Mahabharata |
| A man without valour is like a river without water. |
|
| Upanishads |
| Within that lies the quicksilver world of the mind. |
|
| Hinduism |
| Let your love be all embracing like the sky. |

| Universal Prayers - From Vedas |
| They speak of an eternal Asvattha- the ever-changing tree of phenomenal existence - rooted above, and branching below. He who knows it is a man of knowledge. |

| Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram |
| Salutations to Him who is covetably accepted by the creatures. |
|
| Sri Lalita Sahasranama |
Om bhand asura - vadho dyukta - sakti - sena - saman - vitayai namah.
Salutations to Her under whose command an army of Saktis are intent on destroying Bhanadasura ( the Asura being Ignorance, Lalitambika, the Atman, and the Saktis, the potencies of the Atman,). |

| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
When shall I, in a blissful mood, pass like a second the long period (Kalpa) covered by the life-time of many Brahmas, staying in the very presence of Siva along with the goblins in a mansion of gold and precious gems situated in (the heavenly moutain of) Kailasa and praying with hands folded and held on the head, "Save me, O supremely auspicious and all-pervading One! Thou that art united with the Divine Mother! Thou Lord of all the worlds!"
(A Kalpa is a thousand divine years, which is equal to 432 million human years. It is one day time of a Brahma and the duration of one cyclic manifestation of the cosmos. At the end of it a Pralaya or dissolution of equal duration takes place. After that a new day begins for Brahma. 360 such days and nights constitute one Brahmic year. 100 such Brahmic years mark the lifetime of a Brahma, after which the presiding Brahma is aborbed in Mahavisnu; and another Brahma takes up the reins.) |

The seed of nescience is His vehicle. |
