    		Oh Lord of maha Lakshmi! You are an ocean of mercy. You pervade all universes. You are the witness to all things happenings and You are aware of everything. You are omnipotent. You are the ultimate and residual entity of everything. You come to the rescue of those, who call out to You in their states of utter helplessness. You serve as the boon-granting PaarijAthA tree to those, who surrender themselves at Your sacred feet.

    		Always speak the truth and follow the dharma (righteousness). Hold on to truth and dharma. Hold on to welfare activities. Acquire wealth legitimately. Hold on to self-study and teaching. Hold on to the worship and rituals of God, parents and ancestors. Look upon your Mother, Father, Teacher and Guest as living Gods.

    - annamayya
    		The sleep that a king gets is one and the same as that a servent gets. The floor or the earth that a learned scholar steps on is one and the same as that a person from lower caste steps on. The consciousness in everyone is one and the same and there is only one divine consciousness.

    - dakśhiṇāmūrthi stotraṃ
    - ādi śaṅkarāchārya
    		Like the light emanating from a lamp, kept in a pot with many holes, goes out in all directions, similarly the wisdom in the person goes out through the openings in the body, such as mouth, ears, eyes, etc. And when that person realizes that 'I know myself', this whole universe shines after Him alone, who shines in the consciousness as the knower. Salutation to the God facing the south, who is the greatest teacher.

    - ādi śaṅkarāchārya
    		Sin or merit can never touch me. I feel no pleasure; I feel no pain. No magic chants empower me. No mystic places purify me. I am not the dogma nor the doctrines, nor even the sacred fire of pilgrims. I am neither the experiencer (subject), nor the experienced (object), nor the experiencing. I am supreme bliss and pure consciousness, I am Shiva, I am all auspiciousness, I am Shiva.
    - excerpt from Nirvana Shatkam
