    - ਵਿਵੇਕ ਚੂਡਾਮਣਿ

    		That which is experiencing everything, but that which cannot be experienced directly, know that all-knowing as ਆਤ੍ਮ or the True Self through your intellect.

    - ਭਰ੍ਤ੍ਰੁਰੁਇਹਰਿ
    		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 ਵੈਰਾਗ੍ਯ (detachment from worldly desires) live without any fear.

  • ਯੋਗਰਤੋ ਵਾ ਭੋਗਰਤੋ ਵਾ

    		Whether one may take delight in ਯੋਗ (union with god) or ਭੋਗ (worldly enjoyment), or whether one may be delighted by ਸਂਗ (company or attachment with things) or ਸਂਗਵਿਹੀਨਃ (solitude or practicing detachment); but He, whose mind delights in ਬ੍ਰਹ੍ਮਨ੍ (the spiritual truth), only He enjoys real bliss and is satisfied, no one else.

    - ਵੇਦ ਵ੍ਯਾਸ
    		There are three forms in which ਧਰ੍ਮ can sometimes be materialized. Sometimes, ਅਧਰ੍ਮ might seem like ਧਰ੍ਮ, because someone is faking it. Sometimes, ਧਰ੍ਮ might seem like ਅਧਰ੍ਮ because we don't understand the roots of their actions. In other times, which is most common, ਧਰ੍ਮ would look like ਧਰ੍ਮ and ਅਧਰ੍ਮ would look like ਅਧਰ੍ਮ. The wise men, after thinking with their intellect, see its true form and understand it.

    - ਸ਼ਿਵ ਮਹਿਮ੍ਨਾ ਸ੍ਤੋਤ੍ਰਮ੍
    - ਪੁਸ਼੍ਪਦਂਤ
    		The Three (Vedas), ਸਾਂਖ੍ਯ, ਯੋਗ, ਸ਼ੈਵ and ਵੈਸ਼੍ਣਵ 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.
