Ø It is victory when a country is delivered from despotism. In a contest, fair play is all in all. Victory is beside the point. Unscrupulous acquisition of a thing is not victory. It is fraudulence. Defeating the weak and the ignorant is not victory. It is plunder. Fair acquisition by fair play is victory. Gaining victory over a strong opponent is manliness. – Swami Chidbhavananda

Ø The wise consider the vanquishment of the wicket as victory. They consid4er the putting down of the base propensities as victory. - Mahabharata

Ø Youth has zest in life; much of religion as taught in society is designed to take away that zest without putting in any new focus of zest. Religion so understood has the effect of contracting a man’s personality, narrowing his interests, and making him self-centered. True religion does not destroy zest, but purifies, expands, and heightens it. The earlier zest was based on self-interest, and derived its force from physical vitality and mental ambition. This is purified and transformed by the new vision of life brought by religion with its intimations of the immo9rtal and the divine within, and its sense of oneness with all outside. The moment I realize myself as one with all, a new zest comes to me, more intense, more pervasive, and more pure. To make others happy is my happiness, to serve others and help them achieve their life’s fulfillment is my fulfillment. This is the essential teaching of the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita; this is the basis, the metaphysical foundation, of all ethics and religion. - Swami Ranganathananda.

Ø Have the conviction that you are working for the Lord, and then don’t worry anymore. Why do you allow your mind to become disturbed? “Whatever work I do, O Lord, all that is your worship” (Shiva-Manasa-Puja Stotram, 4). He is in everything and He is everything – reflecting and meditating thus one attains realization. Imagination will become reality – that is how it happens. At first, one has to imagine; afterwards, it becomes real. – Swami Turiyananda
