1.Ajarâmaravat prâjnah vidyâm
artham cha chintayet
Grihita iva kesheshu mrityunâ
dharmam âcharet
When in search of knowledge or prosperity think that thou would never have death or disease, and when worshiping God think that death’s hand is in your hair.
2. Eka eve suhrid dharma
nidhanepyanuyâti yah
Virtue is the only friend which follows us even beyond the grave. Everything else ends with death.
Vivekananda.

thought beyond qualities I bow down
to thee
Swami Vivekananda.

mother the husband and love
Swami Vivekananda.
