    		Oh Eeswara, while one did not lose his teeth, while one did not lose strength in his body, while the ladies don't disgust one's old looks, while one has not become weak with old age, while one did not lose charm and shine in the body, while one's hair did not turn grey, he should think about serving your divine feet.
    - excerpt from Sree Kala Hasteeswara Satakam (in Telugu)

    		Similar to the image of a town as seen in the mirror, when one sees the image of the world within him, the world appears as if it is outside. It is similar to his seeing due to illusion, during the state of sleep, that the one real fact appears as many different truths, and he realizes, when he wakes up and sees the reality, that he is really the one and only one soul. Salutation to the God facing the south, who is the greatest teacher.
    - excerpt from Dakshina Murthy Stotram
    - by Adi Shankaracharya

    		For a person who has conquered his senses (lower self) by the divine self, his own self acts as his best friend. But for that person who has not conquered his senses (lower self), his own self acts as his worst enemy.
    - excerpt from Bhagawad Gita (6.6)

    		Below the Adam's apple, at a distance of a span, and above the navel (i.e., the heart which is the relative seat of the manifestation of Pure Consciousness in the human being), effulges the Great Abode of the universe, as if adorned with garlands of flames.
    - excerpt from Narayana Suktam
    - by Vedas: Taittiriya Aranyakam, 10th Prapathaka, 4th Anuvakam

    		You give freedom to everyone to perform their actions. You also let them do crimes with the given freedom. You offer heaven to the realized men and hell to the unrealized. Is this the fault of the ignorant men who didn't realize your true self?
    - excerpt from Annamayya Keertana - Sarvantaratmudavu (in Telugu)
    - by Sri Annamacharya
