    		Oh Narasimha, at the time of my death, when the messengers of Yama (King of death) arrive, while they take away my life, I will be under the illusion and suffering from imbalances in kapha, vata and pitta, three Ayurvedic states. At that time, Oh Lord, I am not sure if I will I be able to say your name with my tongue or if I cannot say with difficulty. So I will chant your name right now when I am in conscious state and please listen to my prayer.

    		I spent all my time on women, money that does not last long, and for children and wealth. Oh beloved of Tyagaraja! which prince will come to rescue a person like me?

    - vedāḥ
    		All things of this world are transitory, the evanescent, are enveloped by the Lord who is the real reality of each. Therefore, they have to be used with reverent renunciation, without covetousness or greed for they belong to the Lord and not to any one person.
    - excerpt from Eesavaasyopanishad

    		The different practices based on the three Vedas, SaMkhya, Yoga, Pashupata-mata, Vaishnava-mata etc. are but different paths (to the Greatest Truth) and people on account of their different aptitude choose from them based on whatever they think best. But as the sea is the final resting place for all types of streams, You are the only reaching place for all people whichever path, straight or zigzag, they may accept.

    - ādi śaṅkarācārya
    		O Lord! Even though there is no difference between us (I am a part of You), I belong to You and not vice-versa. Just like the ocean is made of waves but the waves are not made up of ocean.
    - excerpt from Vishnu Shatpadi Stotram
    - by Adi Shankaracharya
