The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana.
- As long as I live, I cannot violate the promise given to the ascetics. I may give up my life or even Sita as well as Lakshmana, but I cannot be false to a vow made to a devotee.
- Our predicament is not different from that of the deer that runs from horizon to horizon in search of water led on by the sight of mirage at a distance. Even while perfectly aware of the deception of the senses, we are like fools behaving like their slaves.
- Smiles and tears, decrepitude and death eternally recur. Our lot is to pine away like a cluster of plants battered by random gusts of wind, and all this is due to the object of enjoyments of no worth. Men, devoid of intelligence, fail to realize this position.
- These worldly enjoyments are as fleeting as the streak of lightning emerging from the clouds.
- As long as you identify yourself with this body you will feel miserable. Atman is not the body, sense or ego. It is due to ignorance that you are affected by these worldly sorrows.
