  • සර්වේ යේනානුභූයංතේ යඃ ස්වයං නානුභූයතේ ।
    තමාත්මානං වේදිතාරං විද්දි බුද්ධ්යා සුසූක්ෂ්මයා ॥ 214 ॥
    [විවේකචූඩාමණි, ආදි ශංකරාචාර්ය කෘතම්]
    - විවේක චූඩාමණි
    - ආදි ශංකරාචාර්ය
    		That which is experiencing everything, but that which cannot be experienced directly, know that all-knowing as ආත්ම or the True Self through your intellect.
    - excerpt from Viveka Chudamani
    - by Adi Shankaracharya
  • භෝගේ රෝගභයං කුලේ ච්යුතිභයං විත්තේ නෘපාලාද්භයං
    මානේ දෛන්යභයං බලේ රිපුභයං රූපේ ජරායා භයම් ।
    ශාස්ත්රේ වාදිභයං ගුණේ ඛලභයං කායේ කෘතාංතාද්භයං
    සර්වං වස්තු භයාන්විතං භුවි නෘණාං වෛරාග්යමේවාභයම් ॥
    [භර්තෘහරි වෛරාග්ය ශතකම් - 3.31]
    - භර්තෘහරේඃ ශතක ත්රිශති - නීති ශතකම්
    - භර්තෘහරි
    		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 වෛරාග්ය (detachment from worldly desires) live without any fear.

  • යෝගරතෝ වා භෝගරතෝ වා
    සංගරතෝ වා සංගවිහීනඃ ।
    යස්ය බ්රහ්මණි රමතේ චිත්තං
    නංදති නංදති නංදත්යේව
    [භජ ගෝවිංදම් (මෝහ මුද්ගරම්), ආදි ශංකරාචාර්ය කෘතම්]
    - භජ ගෝවිංදම් (මෝහ මුද්ගරම්)
    - ආදි ශංකරාචාර්ය
    		Whether one may take delight in යෝග (union with god) or භෝග (worldly enjoyment), or whether one may be delighted by සංග (company or attachment with things) or සංගවිහීනඃ (solitude or practicing detachment); but He, whose mind delights in බ්රහ්මන් (the spiritual truth), only He enjoys real bliss and is satisfied, no one else.

  • යත්රාධර්මෝ ධර්මරූපාණි ධත්තේ
    ධර්මඃ කෘත්ස්නෝ දෘශ්යතේ ධර්මරූපඃ ।
    බිභ්රදර්මෝ ධර්මරූපං තථා ච

    [මහාභාරතං උද්යෝග පර්ව, පංචමෝऽධ්යායඃ, සර්ග 28]
    - මහාභාරතං උද්යෝග පර්ව, පංචමෝऽධ්යායඃ, සර්ග 28
    - වේද ව්යාස
    		There are three forms in which ධර්ම can sometimes be materialized. Sometimes, අධර්ම might seem like ධර්ම, because someone is faking it. Sometimes, ධර්ම might seem like අධර්ම because we don't understand the roots of their actions. In other times, which is most common, ධර්ම would look like ධර්ම and අධර්ම would look like අධර්ම. The wise men, after thinking with their intellect, see its true form and understand it.

  • ත්රයී සාංඛ්යං යෝගඃ පශුපතිමතං වෛෂ්ණවමිති

    [ශිව මහිම්නා ස්තෝත්රම්, පුෂ්පදංත කෘතම්]
    - ශිව මහිම්නා ස්තෝත්රම්
    - පුෂ්පදංත
    		The Three (Vedas), සාංඛ්ය, යෝග, ශෛව and වෛෂ්ණව 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
