Ravana got killed because of too much pride. Bali’s progress was curtailed because of too much charity. One should refrain from ‘too much’ of anything.- Samyochitapadyamalika

He is capable of bestowing any amount of wealth on any one who comes begging. But he himself dresses in animal hide. He is sharing half his body with his wife. Yet he is not interested in worldly pleasures; thereby he is the best among all saints (mendicants). He is protecting the entire world with eight of his forces. Yet he is not proud of the same.- Malavikagnimitra

It is not an eye unless it sees God in everything. It is not a hand until it is folded while worshiping God. One can claim he has done some work only when he remembers God always.

आकाशा�् पति��ं �ोयं यथा गच्छति� सागरं | सर्वा�देर्वानमस्कारः केशरं्वा प्रति�गच्छति� || As all the water fallen from the skies goes to the sea, similarly salutations to any God finally reach Keshava.


कराग्रे र्वास�े �क्ष्मीः करमध्ये सरस्र्वा�ी | करमू�े �ु गोतिर्वान्दः प्र;ा�े करदश�नम् || Laxmi resides at the tip of the hand, sarasvati in the middle, Govinda at the root. Hence one should take "darshan" of one's hand in the morning.


काकः कृष्णः पिकः कृष्णः को भेदः पिककाकयोः | वसन्तसमये प्राप्ते काकः काकः पिकः पिकः || The crow is black, and the cuckoo is black. What is the difference between the two ? It is when spring arrives that the crow is identified as the crow, and the cuckoo, the cuckoo.


अश्वस्य भूषणं वेगो मत्तं स्याद ्गजभूषणं | चातुय" भूषणं नाया$ उद्योगो नरभूषणं || speed is the ornament of the horse, the intoxicated state is the ornament of the elephant. Cleverness is the ornament of a woman, and industriousness is the ornament of a man.

Eight qualities adorn a man : Intellect, good character, self control. knowledge, valor, not talking too much, being charitable as per his (financial) strength and gratitude.


अम्बा यस्य उमादेर्वाी र्जनकः यस्य शंकरः | तिर्वाद्यां ददाति� सर्वा(भ्यः स नः पा�ु गर्जाननः || शब्दाथ�

May the elephant faced one (Ganapati) whose mother is umA devi. whose father is sha.nkara and who gives knowledge to everybody, bless us.
