Quotes
By:Mr. Ashok Sharma

SRI ASHUTOSH MAHARAJ Rasleela was in reality bhavleela, completely devoid of corporeal sensations. It was the celestial, atmik form of a gopi that used to participate in ras. Far above the carnal plane, it was a divine communion between souls (gopis) and the Supreme Soul (Krishna). Krishna Leela is one manifested as many.

SRI AUROBINDO - The aim of education is to help the child to develop his intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, moral and spiritual being.

SRI AUROBINDO - The aim of education is to help the child to develop his intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, moral and spiritual being.

SRI AUROBINDO ...and his divine power works in us, not by our artificial processes, but by a working of Nature which is perfectly informed, all-searching and infallibly efficient.

SRI AUROBINDO ...and the entire being given up, as an engine is passive in the hands of the driver, for the divine Love, Might and perfect Intelligence to do its work and fulfill its divine Lila.

SRI AUROBINDO ...this is illimitable in potency because it is God's capacity.

SRI AUROBINDO 0 Mother Durga! When we possess thee, we shall no longer cast thee away; we shall bind thee to us with the tie of love and devotion. Come, 0 Mother, Manifest in our mind and life and body Come, 0 Revealer of the hero-path! We shall no longer cast Thee away May our entire life become a ceaseless worship of the Mother, All our acts a continuous service to the Mother, Full of love, full of energy.

SRI AUROBINDO A God who could not smile could not have created this humorous universe.

SRI AUROBINDO All theories, all teachings are, in the last analysis, nothing but ways of seeing and speaking. Even the highest revelations are worth no more than the power of realisation that comes with them. To live the Supreme Truth, if only for a minute, is worth more than writing or reading hundreds of books on the methods or processes by which to find it.

SRI AUROBINDO If this attitude of perfect self-surrender can be even imperfectly established, all necessity of yogickriya inevitably ceases. For then, God himself in us becomes the sadhaka and the siddha...

SRI AUROBINDO It is only limited by his will which knows what is best for the world and for each one of us in the world and apart from it.

SRI AUROBINDO Life is one and immortal. Only the forms are countless, fleeting and brittle... the form is constantly changing and in essence there is nothing to prevent this change from being progressive.

SRI AUROBINDO Lore on my sumnyts of calm I have brooded With voices around me.

SRI AUROBINDO Nothing must be reserved, no desire, no demand, no opinion, no idea that this must be, that cannot be, that this should be and that should not be all must be given.

SRI AUROBINDO On my summits of calm I have brooded With voices around me.

SRI AUROBINDO Put yourself with all your heart and all your strength into God's hands.

SRI AUROBINDO Some give their soul to the divine, some their life, some offer their work, some their money. A few consecrate all of themselves and all they have these are the true children of god.

SRI AUROBINDO Some give their soul to the divine, some their life, some offer their work, some their money. A few consecrate all of themselves and all they have these are the true children of god.

SRI AUROBINDO The heart must be purified of all desire, the intellect of all self-will....every duality must be renounced, the whole world seen and unseen must be recognised as one supreme expression of concealed Wisdom, Power and Bliss...

SRI AUROBINDO The surrender must be complete.

SRI LALITA SAHASRANAMA I think of Devi Bhavani as the Supreme I-sense. She is rosy like the dawn, has eyes wherein surge waves of compassion and she holds in her four hands the noose, the goad, the flower arrow and the sugarcane bow. The effulgence of the eight siddhis beginning with minuteness surrounds her. At the time of performing japa we should meditate on the Divine Mother whose glance itself is a lovely smile...who captivates everyone without exception, who is adorned with red garlands and ornaments and who shines with the hue of the China rose.

SRI MORARI BAPU To truly celebrate Ramas birthday, either become complete like the number nine, or empty like the zero. In order to become zero or shunya, as the scriptures refer to this state, remove the following: go, doubt and the desire of unnecessary things.

SRI NARAYANA GURU People here on earth, they sleep, wake and think. Various thoughts: watching over all of this with intent eye (witness) There dawns a priceless light, which never shall dim again. Led onward by this, one should move forward.

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action here and now. It is your behaviour that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.

SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.

SRI PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA "Dare To Be Happy When you are unhappy it is generally because you do not visualize strongly enough the great things that you definitely want to accomplish in life, nor do you employ steadfastly enough your will power, your creative ability, and your patience until your dreams are materialised. Happiness depends to some extent upon external conditions, but chiefly upon mental attitudes. In order to be happy one should have good health, a well-balanced mind, a prosperous life, the right work, a thankful heart, and above all, wisdom or knowledge of God.

SRI RAM CHANDRA Any action, whether it is good or bad, which forms impressions in the mind in creating samskara and, in the spiritual sense, is undesirable. Sinning would appear to be certainly not as bad as the brooding over the sin, because brooding drives the impression deeper and deeper into the mind where samskaras of such hardness are formed that much subsequent effort is required to clean the system. Our Master (Sri Ram Chandraji) advises us to forget the past. The past should not worry us because it is the past, and we can do nothing to change it. What should concern us is the future which we can affect by our present action. The immediate past is of no more consequence than the more distant past. So, we must think all past actions to be those of a past life. This will make it easy to ignore them and to concentrate on laying the basis for future spiritual development.

SRI SUKTAM 0 Agni, may You propitiate Mahalakshmi, the destroyer of demons but merciful to Her devotees, abode of auspiciousness, bestower of total protection, extraordinarily beautiful, bedecked with valuable ornaments, shining like a thousand suns; may that Hiranmayi, the golden coloured Goddess, be pleased with us.

ST AUGUSTINE It is authority which if opens the door, to those desiring to learn the great and hidden good. Leaving doubt behind, the one who enters the door will learn at length how possessed of reason those things are which he pursued before he saw their reason; and what reason itself is...

ST FRANCIS OF ASSIST You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.

ST FRANCIS XAVIER Not because of your promised heaven Do i wish to devote My love to you; Nor from dread of a much-feared hell Do i wish to cease from offending you... even without hope of heaven i shall love you And without any fear of hell i shall fear you. Naught you need give me that i may love you for even without hoping for the hope that is mine I shall love you as love you I do.

ST JEROME It is worse still to be ignorant of your ignorance.

ST JOHN If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

ST JOHN ERVINE Every man... should periodically be compelled to listen to opinions which are infuriating to him. To hear nothing but what is pleasing to one is to make a pillow of the mind.

STELLA KRAMRISCH Life itself has assumed the shape of artistic form. The Indian understands life as growth. He does not depict the shapes of nature but nature itself. Earth's life-blood streams through the members of the figures and gives them form according to the celerity of its circulation, which is gently flowing, soft and equipoised at Bharhut (Sanchi). The forms have not yet separated themselves from Mother Earth, who nourishes them and gives them the contemplative life. Each relief is first of all a picture of a spiritual state, and secondary to it, it is the representation of a particular theme.

STEPHEN HAWKING A remarkable feature of the first kind of Friedmann model is that in it the universe is not infinite in space, but neither does space have any boundary Gravity is so strong that space is bent round onto itself, making it rather like the surface of the earth.

STEPHEN HAWKING The prospect of a short life made me want to do more. I realised life was good and there was a great deal I wanted to do.

STEPHEN W HAWKING Even if there is only one possible unified theory (of the universe) it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Is the unified theory so compelling that it brings about its own existence? Or does it need a creator, and, if so, does he have any other effect on the universe? And who created him? Arthur

SUBRAMANIA BHARATI Having vanquished the demon Fear, And killed the reptile Lie, We have embraced the Veda's path That leads to Brahma knowledge.

SUBRAMANIA BHARATI The mighty Himavant is ours, there's no equal anywhere on earth. The generous Ganga is ours, which other river can match her grace? The sacred Upanishads are ours, what scriptures else to name with them? This sunny golden land is ours, she's peerless, let's praise her.

SUBRAMANIA BHARATI Woman: The wind is fierce, the sea, agitated Please wake up, darling The rain beating against the door has now forced itself into the bedroom Man: The skies are angry, the Earth trembles: I implore Devi Parashakti to protect us! Little children should not suffer, 0 Devi, please help us. Woman: This was our cosy home till yesterday; who could know what was destined? Nature's fury knows no bounds; Only God's Grace can save us.

SUBRAMANIA BHARATI-Having vanquished the demon fear, and kill the reptile lie, we have embraced the Vedas path. That leads to Brahma knowledge.

SUBRAMANIA BHARTI- All birds that fly in the sky am I/and all animals that roam the earth. The shady forest trees and wind and water/and ocean too am I. All stars that shine in the heavens am I/and also the vast expanse of empty space/all worms in soil and fish in water am I.

SUE YARMEY If you find yourself in fear, simply stop and ask yourself: "What am I afraid of?" When you get that answer, ask: "Well, why am I afraid of that?" Take it to the point where you can realise that the only fear you have is the fear of being wrong. Is that not a silly fear? If you are afraid of death, it makes no sense. You do not die. You are infinite and eternal. There need be no fear there.

SUFI EPIGRAM When the heart grieves over what it has lost, the spirit rejoices over what it has found.

SUFI SAYING There are two rules on the spiritual path: Begin and continue.

If rose be in thy heart, thou'It be a rose; If nightingale, then that sweet-singing bird. Thou art a part, God is the whole; if thou Engage and occupy thyself, some while, With that Great Whole, it will fill all thy being, And make thee Whole. The part becomes the Whole.

SUKHMANI SAHIB Nothing can be done by the mortal's own efforts; although he may desire it (even) hundreds of times.

SUKRANITISARA That image is said to be lovely, ramya, which is of neither more nor less than the prescribed proportions, mana... There are some to whom that which captivates their heart is lovely; but for those who know, that which falls short of canonical proportion, sastramana, is not beautiful.

SUMENC In the orchards of the gods, he watches the canals...

SUN MY LING MOON I look upon all the major religions of the world as one big family.

SUN MYUNG MOON Human responsibility is the absolute law of God, and unless you fulfill it you have no way to get into heaven.

SUN MYUNG MOON I know that western culture is characterised by individualism. However, selfish individualism is doomed. Sacrificial individualism will blossom. Individuality in itself is good. God gave each of us a unique way to serve. But individualism without God can only build castles on the sands of decay.

SUN MYUNG MOON Take responsibility for the most difficult problem in your nation. Take responsibility for the most difficult problem of your church. Take responsibility for the most difficult problem of the world.

SUN MYUNG MOON When we pray alone to God, shedding tears we will not feel lonely; God is surely with us.

SUN RA Heaven is where you'll be when you are okay right where you are.

SUN TZU Can you imagine what I would do if I could do all I can?

SUN TZU Let your plans be dark and as impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

SUN TZU Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

SUN TZU- Strategy without tactic is the slowest route to victory. Tactic without strategy is the noise before defeat.

SUN TZU Therefore the skilful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.

SUN TZU Unhappy is the fate of one who tries to win his battles and succeed in his attacks without cultivating the spirit of enterprise, for the result is waste of time and general stagnation.

SUNDARYA LAHARI United with Shakti, Shiva is endowed with the power to create the universe. Not otherwise.

SUNDERLAL BAHUGUNA The solution of present- day problems lies in the re-establishment of a harmonious relationship between man and nature. Development is synonymous with culture. When we sublimate nature, in a I way that we achieve peace, happiness, prosperity and, ultimately; fulfilment along with satisfying our basic needs, we march towards culture.

SUNIL DUTT Sadbhavana means having good feelings towards everybody It is about the need for compassion without boundaries, without interests.

SUNIL R VAZE The man yelled "God, speak to me!" The thunder rolled across the sky.. but the man did not listen. The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." A star shined brightly.. but the man did not notice. The man shouted, "God show me a miracle!" A life was born...but the man did not know. The man cried out in despair, "Touch me God and let me know you are here!" Whereupon God reached down and touched the man... but the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

SUNITA WILLIAMS Our goal... is to explore how people are going to live out in space for extended periods of time. Over a six-month period we're definitely going to lose bone and muscle mass. So a big part of the experiments that we're doing onboard is how to mitigate that.

SUNITA WILLIAMS You know, the planet (Earth) from space is not 'hard'; it's very mobile, with plate tectonics redrawing geography Earth from space looks like a planet; it's not about cities or borders.

SUSAN B ANTHONY The only question left to be settled now is, are women persons?

SUSAN BRADLEY Whatever you do to find a relationship, you must continue doing to keep a relationship.

SUSAN BROWN MILLER I also know that a good mind must be flexible and open to change. The older I get, the more in realize that there are few absolute and many perspectives.

SUSAN ERTZ-Millions long for immorality who doesnt know what to do with themselves a rainy Sunday afternoon.

SUSAN L. TAYLOR See the inevitable changes not as threats but as opportunities that can deepen our understanding and bring us wisdom and growth.

SUSAN TAYFOOR Limits are there, only because we acknowledge them. Let's try eliminating words like "should" or "can't" from our way of thinking.

SUSAN TAYLOR- Our greatest problems in life come not so much from the situations we confront as from our doubts about our ability to handle them.

SUSAN TAYLOR The most sacred place isn't the Church, the Mosque or the Temple. It's the temple of the body. That's where the spirit lives.

SUSANNAH CENTLIVRE Tis my opinion every man cheats in his own way, and he is only honest who is not discovered.

SUTRA OF HUI NENG He who treads the Path in earnest Sees not the mistakes of the world; If we find fault with others We ourselves are also in the wrong. By getting rid of this habit of fault-finding We cut off a source of defilement. When neither hatred nor love disturb our mind Serenely we sleep.

SUTRA OF HUI NENG The capacity of the mind is as great as that of space. It is infinite, neither round nor square, neither great nor small, neither green nor yellow, neither red nor white, neither above nor below, neither long nor short, neither angry nor happy, neither right nor wrong, neither good nor evil, neither first nor last. All universes are as void as space. Intrinsically our transcendental nature is void and not a single thing can be attained. It is the same with the essence of mind, which is a state of absolute void.

SUTRA OF HUI NENG 2 He who treads the Path in earnest Sees not the mistakes of the world; If we find fault with others We ourselves are also in the wrong. When other people are in the wrong, we should ignore it, For it is wrong for us to find fault. By getting rid of this habit of fault-finding We cut off a source of defilement. When neither hatred nor love disturbs our mind Serenely we sleep.

SUTRA OF HUI NENG 2 If you wish to find the true way, Right action will lead you to it directly; But if you do not strive for Buddhahood You will grope in the dark and never find it.

SUTRA SU Just as Airavata is supreme among elephants, lion among animals, Ganga among rivers, Garuda the son of Venudeva among birds, similarly was Jnataputra supreme among those preaching emancipation.

SUTRAKRITANGA A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would be treated.

SUTRAKRITANGA- Liberation is the best thing, as the moon is best among the stars.

SUTRAKRITANGA Those who praise their own doctrines and disparage the doctrines of others do not solve any problem.

SUTRAKRITANGA LI If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all.

SUTTA NIPATA - Let him not destroy or cause to destroyed, any life at all, nor sanction the act of those who do so.

SUTTA NIPATA A good, all-round education, appreciation of the arts, a highly trained discipline and pleasant speech; this is the highest blessing.

SUTTA NIPATA Desire is a chain, shackled to the world and it is a difficult one to break. But once that done, there is no more grief and no more longing; the stream has been cut off and their are no more chains.

SUTTA NIPATA Make your offering, said the Master. As you make it be pleased in mind. Make your mind completely calm and contented. Focus and fill the offering-mind with the giving. From this secure position you can be free from ill will.

SUTTA NIPATA The Buddha says, "To be attached to a certain view and to look down upon other views as inferior these wise men call a fetter".

SUTTA NIPATA The monk looks for peace within himself, and not in any other place. For when a person is inwardly quiet, there is nowhere a self can be found; where, then, could a non-self be found? There are no waves in the depths of the sea; it is still, unbroken. It is the same with the monk. He is still, without any quiver of desire, without a remnant on which to build pride and desire.

SUTTA NIPATA The world exists because of causal actions, all things are produced by causal actions and all beings are governed and bound by causal actions. They are fixed like the rolling wheel of a cart, fixed by the pin of its axle shaft.

SUTTA NIPATA When a person praises someone who should be blamed, or attacks someone worthy of praise, it will not lead to happiness.

SUTTA NIPATA Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.

SUZUKI In the beginners mind there are many possibilities, but in the experts mind there are few.

SVATMARAMA When the breath wanders the mind also is unsteady But when the breath is calmed the mind too will be still, and the yogi achieves long life. Therefore, one should learn to control the breath.

SWAMI VEVAKANANDA To the man who has begun to hate himself, the gate to degeneration has already opened; and the same is true of a nation. Our first duty is not to hate ourselves; because, to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic man and woman can do more in a year than a mob in a century.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA Whatever in society is good and great and sublime is the working out of love. Whatever in society is very bad nay, diabolical is also ill-directed, working out of the same emotion of love. It is this same emotion that gives us the pure and holy conjugal love as well as the sort of love which goes to satisfy the lowest forms of passion. It is the same feeling of love well or ill-directed that impels one man to do good and to give all he has to the poor, while it makes another man cut the throats of his brethren and take away all their possessions. The former loves others as much as the latter loves himself.

SWEDENBORG All religion relates to life, and the life of religion is to do good.

T ERIKSEN The territorial nation-state can be compared to a patrilineal kinship system, where all rights and duties are tied to a single principle. The diasporic, plural, changing, complex contemporary nation-state, and certainly their minorities, similarly resemble matrilineal systems, where it becomes a task of paramount importance to balance opposing principles. Time and space have forever been separated... there is no easy way out, but pluralism must be a part of the equation.

TAITTIRIYA ARANYAKA I seek the Lord of the Waters of golden appearance, May he hear our entreaty and grant us a place of ablution. Whatever food i have taken in the house of the wicked, whatever gift I have received at the hands of the crafty, 'whatever sin of thought', or word or deed I have committed, from this may Indira, Varuna, Brhaspati and Surya cleanse me again and again. I have eaten or drunk to excess, or consorted with people of violent ways, may king Varuna wipe it all away thus, rid of impurity and evil and free from my sin, may I find liberation and pass to the world of the Lord of creation.

TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD From whom (this manifested universe and) these beings are born (at the beginning of a cosmic cycle), by whom, after being born, they subsist, and into whom they merge at the end (of a cosmic cycle), seek to know That (Reality); that is Brahmn.

TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD If all this world is born from ananda or bliss, exists in ananda, and is finally dissolved in ananda, how can there be then a world different from the ananda of Brahmn?

TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD In the beginning, ibis world was nonexistent. Therefrom, Being (sat) was produced. That made itself a Self (Atman). Therefore it is called the well-done. What that well-done is: that is the essence (rasa) o existence. On obtainer that essence, one becomes blissful.

TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD Let your conduct be marked by truthfulness in word, deed and thought.
