  • न तातो न माता न बंधुर्न दाता
    न पुत्रो न पुत्री न भृत्यो न भर्ता
    न जाया न विद्या न वृत्तिर्ममैव
    गतिस्त्वं गतिस्त्वं त्वमेका भवानि ॥ 1 ॥
    [भवानी अष्टकम्, आदि शंकराचार्य कृतम्]
    - भवानी अष्टकम्
    - आदि शंकराचार्य
    		Neither the father nor the mother, neither the relatives nor the contributors.
    - excerpt from Bhavani Ashtakam
    - by Adi Shankaracharya
  • केयूराणि न भूषयंति पुरुषं हारा न चंद्रोज्ज्वला
    न स्नानं न विलेपनं न कुसुमं नालंकृता मूर्धजाः ।
    वाण्येका समलंकरोति पुरुषं या संस्कृता धार्यते
    क्षीयंते खलु भूषणानि सततं वाग्भूषणं भूषणम् ॥
    [भर्तृहरि नीति शतकम् - 1.19]
    - भर्तृहरेः शतक त्रिशति - नीति शतकम्
    - भर्तृहरि
    		Bracelets do not decorate a person, nor do necklaces glittering like the moon, nor bath, nor smearing the body with fragrance, nor flowers, nor decorated hair. Only that speech embellishes a person, which has been upheld with cultural refinement. Indeed, all ornaments decay. Ornament of speech is always the real ornament.

    [चरक संहिता - 7.60]
    - अपरिचित

  • पानीयंबुलु त्रावुचुन् कुडुचुचुन् भाषिंचुचुन् हास ली
    ला निद्रादुलु चेयुचुन् तिरुगुचुन् लक्षिंपुचुन् संतत ।
    श्री नारायण पाद पद्म युगली चिंतामृतास्वादसं
    धानुंडै मरचॆन् सुरारि सुतुडेतद्विश्वमुन् भूवरा ॥
    [श्रीमदांध्र भागवतम्, बम्मॆर पोतन कृतम्]
    - श्रीमदांध्र भागवतम्
    - वेद व्यास
    		Oh! King, Prahlada was always engrossed in the bliss of praying and prostrating before the lotus feet of Sri Hari at all times, while drinking, while eating, while talking, while smiling, playing, sleeping and performing such other actions, while moving around and while visualizing and forgot about this world.
    - excerpt from Srimad Andhra Bhagavatham
    - by Veda Vyasa
  • ब्रह्म सत्यं जगन्मिथ्या जीवो ब्रह्मैव नापरः ।
    अनेन वेद्यं सच्छास्त्रमिति वेदांतडिंडिमः ॥ 20॥
    [ब्रह्मज्ञानावलीमाला, आदि शंकराचार्य कृतम्]
    - ब्रह्मज्ञानावलीमाला
    - आदि शंकराचार्य
    		Know that only ब्रह्मन् is real, while the material universe is मिथ्या (it cannot be categorized as either real or unreal). The जीव (the living human) is ब्रह्मन् itself and not different. This should be understood as the correct शास्त्र. This is proclaimed by वेदांत.
    - excerpt from Brahma Gnanavali Mala
    - by Adi Shankaracharya
