Letter "A" » Atharva Veda Quotes
«Pursuing petty physical beauty leads man astray; it is as calamitous as the pursuit of trivial joy.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«See yourselves in all; See all in yourselves; that is the road to lasting peace and joy.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«Let us not seek the outer empire; let us become the rulers of the inner empire. Let us not try to defy the outer enemy, leaving the inner foe to grow in striking power. We have Krishna with us, and so, who can defeat us? We shall win through winning His Grace.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«I am fulfilling all your desires. So you must fulfill this one desire of Mine. I bless that you have long life, good health, Ananda, Peace and Prosperity; and that you will dedicate your physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual strength and skills for the service of the country and of all mankind.»
Author: Atharva Veda

«The past is not ours any more; the present slips from our grasp; and the future is uncertain.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«THERE are three types of approaches towards the Lord; the Eagle type, which swoops down on the target with a greedy swiftness and suddenness which, by its very impact, fails to secure the object coveted; the Monkey type, which flits hither and thither, from one to another, unable to decide which is tasty; and the Ant type which moves steadily, though slowly towards the object which it has decided is desirable. The ant does not hit the fruit hard and makes it fall away; it does not pluck all the fruits it seeks; it appropriates just as much as it can assimilate and no more. Do not fritter away the time allotted to you for sojourning on the earth in foolish foppery and fanciful foibles, which always keep you outdoors. When are you to walk indoors into the warmth and quiet of your own interior? Retire into solitude and silence now and then; experience the joy derivable only from them.»

«YOU very often condemn the mind as a monkey; but take it from Me, it is far worse.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«THINGS are not so important; the transcendental truth of things is of value.»
Author: Atharva Veda
«All are equal in birth and in death. Differences arise only during the interval. The Emperor and the beggar are both born naked; they sleep equally silently; they bow out without even leaving their new address. Then how can their reality be different? There can be no doubt on this score. All are basically the same.»
