-Swami Sivananda "Swami Sivananda"
When an exalted soul realises that all sentient beings are one in relation to the Supreme – that is, that all beings are the minute parts of the One – how shall he have any more delusion and what grief will come to him?
-Isha Upanishad "Isha Upanishad"
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"
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"
A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception, perfect knowledge, perfect power, and perfect bliss…Have compassion towards all living beings. Hatred leads to destruction. Respect for all living beings is non-violence…
-Vardhaman Mahavira "Mahavira"
Prana, the vital breath, is born of Self. Like a person and his shadow, the Self and Prana are inseparable. Prana enters the body at birth, but does not die with the body.

- Upanishads "Maitri Upanishad 4.2"
No work stains an individual who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita "Bhagwavad Gita 5.7"
Every one of us has in him a continent of undiscovered character. Blessed is he who acts as Columbus to his own soul.
