Do
not entertain bad thoughts and do bad deeds. Life is holy and sacred. Go
through it with joy and happiness. Do not carry gloomy, unhappy faces.
Happiness is union with God. This period of your life is sacred. If you cannot
derive happiness and live in Bliss at this age, can you be blissful when you
grow old? Now, you have only two legs to carry; you can jump about freely. But
when you marry and rear up a family, you will move like a caterpillar with many
legs!
-Atharva Veda
At
night, when you retire to sleep, feel that you are entering the green-room
after the scene, but with the dress of your role on; for perhaps the role is
not yet over and you have not yet been permitted to take the dress off.
Perhaps, you have to make another entrance the next morning. Do not worry about
that. Place yourself fully at His Disposal; He knows; He has written the play
and He knows how it will end and how it will go on; Yours is but to act and
retire.
-Atharva Veda
You
are like the rocks on the seashore that unflinchingly face the beating of the
waves. The rock does not move; the wave will not stop. This predicament should
end. Awake and avail yourselves of this unique chance.
-Atharva Veda
Idle
brains exaggerate matters; and cynics cause great social damage.
-Atharva Veda
To autumn
thee, to winter, spring and summer, do we commit; the rains in which grow the
plants shall be pleasant to thee.
-Atharva Veda
