Like the waves in great rivers, there is no turning back of that which has previously been done…The soul is bound with the fetters made of the fruit of good and evil.

- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 4.2"
For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwad Gita 2.20"
When salt mixes with water, it takes the form of water. In the same way samadhi or trance means the mind merging with the cosmic soul or God.
- Upanishads "Saubhagya Lakshmi Upanishad"
One who identifies himself with his soul regards bodily transmigration of his soul at death fearlessly, like changing one cloth for another.
-Scriptures "Pujyapada, Samadhishataka 77"
In life, nothing can be costlier than gaining anything by compromising the soul.
-Deep Trivedi
The soul dwelling within each one of us is the most powerful energy of the
universe. And this soul is only the supreme power. Now despite knowing and
understanding all this, if we still visit temples, mosques and religious places...
then does it show anything other than distrust on our own soul?
-Deep Trivedi
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
O Lord of all, hail unto Thee! The Soul of all, causing all acts, enjoying all, all life art Thou! Lord of all pleasure and delight!
- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 5.1"
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
-Swami Vivekananda "Swami Vivekananda"
The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of Divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast; for until the cord be broken, the bird cannot fly.
-A Spiritual Leader "St. John of the Cross"
