  • ಸರ್ವೇ ಯೇನಾನುಭೂಯಂತೇ ಯಃ ಸ್ವಯಂ ನಾನುಭೂಯತೇ ।
    ತಮಾತ್ಮಾನಂ ವೇದಿತಾರಂ ವಿದ್ದಿ ಬುದ್ಧ್ಯಾ ಸುಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮಯಾ ॥ 214 ॥
    [ವಿವೇಕಚೂಡಾಮಣಿ, ಆದಿ ಶಂಕರಾಚಾರ್ಯ ಕೃತಂ]
    - ವಿವೇಕ ಚೂಡಾಮಣಿ
    - ಆದಿ ಶಂಕರಾಚಾರ್ಯ
    		That which is experiencing everything, but that which cannot be experienced directly, know that all-knowing as ಆತ್ಮ or the True Self through your intellect.
    - excerpt from Viveka Chudamani
    - by Adi Shankaracharya
  • ಭೋಗೇ ರೋಗಭಯಂ ಕುಲೇ ಚ್ಯುತಿಭಯಂ ವಿತ್ತೇ ನೃಪಾಲಾದ್ಭಯಂ
    ಮಾನೇ ದೈನ್ಯಭಯಂ ಬಲೇ ರಿಪುಭಯಂ ರೂಪೇ ಜರಾಯಾ ಭಯಮ್ ।
    ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರೇ ವಾದಿಭಯಂ ಗುಣೇ ಖಲಭಯಂ ಕಾಯೇ ಕೃತಾಂತಾದ್ಭಯಂ
    ಸರ್ವಂ ವಸ್ತು ಭಯಾನ್ವಿತಂ ಭುವಿ ನೃಣಾಂ ವೈರಾಗ್ಯಮೇವಾಭಯಮ್ ॥
    [ಭರ್ತೃಹರಿ ವೈರಾಗ್ಯ ಶತಕಂ - 3.31]
    - ಭರ್ತೃಹರೇಃ ಶತಕ ತ್ರಿಶತಿ - ನೀತಿ ಶತಕಂ
    - ಭರ್ತೃಹರಿ
    		Those engaging in sensual pleasures worry about contracting diseases. Those belonging to a prominent dynasty worry about losing their status. The rich worry about being taxed by the king or the government. Honorable persons worry about being poor. Powerful people worry about their enemies. Young people worry about losing their beauty. Learned people worry about arguments about their disciplines of learning. Virtuous people worry about wicked persons. And, universally, every human fears the inevitable - Death. In fact, everything in this world is linked in one way or other with fear, but only those persons who practice ವೈರಾಗ್ಯ (detachment from worldly desires) live without any fear.

  • ಯೋಗರತೋ ವಾ ಭೋಗರತೋ ವಾ
    ಸಂಗರತೋ ವಾ ಸಂಗವಿಹೀನಃ ।
    ಯಸ್ಯ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಣಿ ರಮತೇ ಚಿತ್ತಂ
    ನಂದತಿ ನಂದತಿ ನಂದತ್ಯೇವ
    [ಭಜ ಗೋವಿಂದಂ (ಮೋಹ ಮುದ್ಗರಂ), ಆದಿ ಶಂಕರಾಚಾರ್ಯ ಕೃತಂ]
    - ಭಜ ಗೋವಿಂದಂ (ಮೋಹ ಮುದ್ಗರಂ)
    - ಆದಿ ಶಂಕರಾಚಾರ್ಯ
    		Whether one may take delight in ಯೋಗ (union with god) or ಭೋಗ (worldly enjoyment), or whether one may be delighted by ಸಂಗ (company or attachment with things) or ಸಂಗವಿಹೀನಃ (solitude or practicing detachment); but He, whose mind delights in ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ್ (the spiritual truth), only He enjoys real bliss and is satisfied, no one else.
    - excerpt from Bhaja Govindam (Moha Mudagaram)

  • ಯತ್ರಾಧರ್ಮೋ ಧರ್ಮರೂಪಾಣಿ ಧತ್ತೇ
    ಧರ್ಮಃ ಕೃತ್ಸ್ನೋ ದೃಶ್ಯತೇ ಧರ್ಮರೂಪಃ ।
    ಬಿಭ್ರದರ್ಮೋ ಧರ್ಮರೂಪಂ ತಥಾ ಚ
    ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸ ಸ್ತಂ ಸಂಪ್ರಪಶ್ಯನಿ ಬುದ್ದ್ವಾ ॥
    [ಮಹಾಭಾರತಂ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಪರ್ವ, ಪಂಚಮೋಽಧ್ಯಾಯಃ, ಸರ್ಗ 28]
    - ಮಹಾಭಾರತಂ ಉದ್ಯೋಗ ಪರ್ವ, ಪಂಚಮೋಽಧ್ಯಾಯಃ, ಸರ್ಗ 28
    - ವೇದ ವ್ಯಾಸ
    		There are three forms in which ಧರ್ಮ can sometimes be materialized. Sometimes, ಅಧರ್ಮ might seem like ಧರ್ಮ, because someone is faking it. Sometimes, ಧರ್ಮ might seem like ಅಧರ್ಮ because we don't understand the roots of their actions. In other times, which is most common, ಧರ್ಮ would look like ಧರ್ಮ and ಅಧರ್ಮ would look like ಅಧರ್ಮ. The wise men, after thinking with their intellect, see its true form and understand it.

  • ತ್ರಯೀ ಸಾಂಖ್ಯಂ ಯೋಗಃ ಪಶುಪತಿಮತಂ ವೈಷ್ಣವಮಿತಿ
    ಪ್ರಭಿನ್ನೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ಥಾನೇ ಪರಮಿದಮದಃ ಪಥ್ಯಮಿತಿ ಚ ।
    ರುಚೀನಾಂ ವೈಚಿತ್ರ್ಯಾದೃಜುಕುಟಿಲ ನಾನಾಪಥಜುಷಾಂ
    ನೃಣಾಮೇಕೋ ಗಮ್ಯಸ್ತ್ವಮಸಿ ಪಯಸಾಮರ್ಣವ ಇವ ॥
    [ಶಿವ ಮಹಿಮ್ನಾ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ, ಪುಷ್ಪದಂತ ಕೃತಂ]
    - ಶಿವ ಮಹಿಮ್ನಾ ಸ್ತೋತ್ರಂ
    - ಪುಷ್ಪದಂತ
    		The Three (Vedas), ಸಾಂಖ್ಯ, ಯೋಗ, ಶೈವ and ವೈಷ್ಣವ scriptures commence along different paths. Of these, some people take up one and some another as the best to follow. The faithful follow these diverse ways, straight or meandering, each according to his tendencies. But as the sea is the final resting place for all types of streams, You are the only reaching place for all people whichever path, straight or zigzag, they may accept.
    - excerpt from Shiva Mahimna Stotram
