There are many cryptic
and sometimes witty statements embodying
wisdom of a great order to be found
in the writings of scholars and
poets. They guide humanity to lead
a moral and righteous life and especially
benefit children. These sayings
have eternal value and are called
'Subhashitani'
in Sanskrit. This section will feature
such sayings.
One can ascend to the top of a
house by means of a ladder or a
bamboo or a staircase or a rope;
so too, diverse are the ways of
approaching God and each religion
in the world shows one of the ways.
- Sri Ramakrishna
Man suffers so much simply
for want of devotion to God. One
should therefore adopt such means
as would help the thought of God
to arise in the mind at the last
moment of one's life . The means
is practice of devotion to God.
-Sri Ramakrishna

Take up one idea.
Make that one idea your life - think
of it, dream of it, live on that
idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves,
every part of your body, be full
of that idea, and just leave every
other idea alone. This is the way
to success.
- Swami Vivekananda
Everything, no doubt, happens by
God's will, yet man must work because
God expresses His will through man's
action . Do not relax your spiritual
practices.
