Do not apply reasoning to what is
unthinkable. The mark of the unthinkable is that it is above all material
causes. Purana
"Many are the names of God and infinite the forms that lead us to know Him. In whatsoever name or form you desire to call Him, in that very form and name you will see Him."
Sri Ramakrishna
"The mind of a sage, even when angered, is never perturbed. Can a man heat the waters of the sea with a lighted straw?"
Hitopadesha
There's no greater enemy than pride.
Sanskrit
Knowledge overcomes ignorance as sunlight darkness. Atmabodha Prakasika
The Spirit is in contact with matter without being contaminated by it, just as the crystal permits the colour of the cloth to be seen through it without being in any way defiled by it.
Atmabodha Prakasika
As the sun is not sullied by the defects of external objects, so the inner soul of all beings is not sullied by the misery of the world.
Katha Upanishad
Amass that wealth which has nothing to fear from kings or thieves, and which does not desert thee in death.
Mahabharat
Neither mother, nor children, nor kinsmen, nor dear familiar friends follow a man in death; he departs alone. The deeds alone which he has done are his fellow-travellers.
Mahabharat
If you project all sorts of hatred and jealousy, they will rebound on you with compound interest.
Swami Vivekananda
A good man's anger lasts an instant, a meddling man's for two hours, a base man's a day and night, a great idiot's until death.
Sanskrit
Who are destitute of sight ? Those who do not perceive the future world.
Sanskrit
If the heart be impure, all actions will be wrong. Sanskrit
They know not their own defects who search for the defects of others. Sanskrit
Time is stronger than all things else. Sanskrit
A wicked person, though sweet speaking, is not to be trusted; honey is on his tongue, but in his heart poison.
They concealed their anger under signs of joy, as a lake with tranquil surface hides an alligator.
Raghuvansi saying
It is not as safe opening the mouth as keeping it shut
Who stands still in mud sticks in it
Without a true friend a man cannot discern the nature of his actions
Trust not to appearances
- the drum which makes much noise is filled with wind
You may know a man's face, but not his mind
Man sees just the present, God all things
"When I watch the
heavens in the silence of the night, as if the stars, in the profound silence of space, were listening
to the eternal music of the Divine." Sri Ananda Acharaya
He alone crosses the ocean
of Maya who comes face to face with God, who realizes Him. He is truly free, living even in this body, who
knows that God is the doer and he is the non-doer. Sri Ramakrishna
This world is only one drop in an infinite ocean, one link in an infinite chain.
