| Ramayana |
| 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 |
| The enemy is prosperity causes heart-burn to the jealous. |
|
| Upanishads |

Om karanguli - nakh otpanna - narayana dasakrtyai namah.
Salutations to Her who out of Her finger nails recreated all the ten Incarnations of Vishnu to destroy the Asuras slain by Him in His incarnations and now recreated magically by Bhanda out of missile of his. |
|
| Sivananda Lahari - Of Sri Sankaracarya |
| O Supreme Lord! Thou Ocean of mercy! Vishnu and Brahma, boring down into the earth and flying up in the sky as a boar and as a swan in order to find out Thy feet and head respectively, only got tired (but did not discover the extremities of Thy form). O Bestower of good! O Lord of all! How is it then that Thou hast become capable of being known to me? Pray, does this conduct befit Thee? |
|
| Siva Sahasranama Stotram |
| Brahma the Creator was created by Him. Om adikaraya namah. |
|
| Quotations from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) |
