Here is a glimpse to each:
संगच्छध्वं सं वदध्वं सं वो मनांसि जानताम् ।
देवा भागं यथा पूर्वे सज्जानाना उपासते ।।
Come together! Speak together! Let your minds be in harmony, as the devas of old sat together in harmony to worship. - Rig Veda 10-191-2
ईशा वास्यं इदं सर्वं यत्किंच जगत्यां जगत्।
तेन त्यक्तेन भुज्जीथा: मा गृध: कस्यस्विद् घनम्।।
The whole world is pervaded by its ruler and controller [God]. Enjoy or accept that which has been set apart by Him. Do not desire another's wealth. - Ishaavaasyopanishad 1
धृति: क्षमा दमोऽस्तेयं शौचमिन्द्रियनिग्रह:।
धीर्विध्या सत्यमक्रोधो दशकं धर्मलक्षणम्।।
Patience, forgiveness, austerity, non-stealing, purity, restraining one's senses, intellect, knowledge, truth and non-anger - these ten are teh characteristics of dharma. - Manu Smruti 6.92
सत्यमेवेश्वरो लोके सत्ये धर्म: सदाऽऽश्रित:।
सत्यमूलानि सर्वाणि सत्यान्नास्ति परं पदम्।।
In the universe, God alone is truth. Dharma can sustain irself only on this truth. This truth is the root of everything. There is nothing higher than this truth, and nothing higher to be achieved. - Vaalmiki Raamaayana (Ayodhyaakaanda 109.13)
सत्येन रक्ष्यते धर्मो विध्या योगेन रक्ष्यते।
मृजया रक्ष्यते रूपं कुलं वृत्तेन रक्ष्यते।।
Truth protects dharma. Repeating [what one has learnt] preserves knowledge. Bathing sustains beauty. Character preserves one's lineage. - Mahaabhaarata 5.34.39
स्वधर्मान् परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुच:।।
Resigning all your dharma [duties] to Me, take refuge in Me alone. I shall deliver you from all sins; [so] do not worry. - Bhagvad Gitaa 18.66
प्रसंऽगमजरं पाशमात्मना: कवयो विदु:।
स एव साधुषु कृतो मोक्षद्वारमपाव्रुतम्।।
If a person maintains profound love towards the Ekaantik Sant of God just as resolutely as he maintains profound love towards his own relatives, then the gateway of moksha opens for him. - Shrimad Bhaagavata 3.25.20
अनादिमूर्तिमान एष: साकारो दिव्यविग्रह:।
द्विभुज: कोटिसूर्येन्दुप्रभ: पीताम्बरधर:।।
God is always with form. His murti is divine, having the effulgence of millions of suns. He has two arms and wears a pitaambar. - Kanvasamhitaa 5.27
अथातो ब्रह्मजिज्ञासा
Now then [let us have] an enquiry about Brahman [God]. - Brahmasutra 1.1.1
नगरी नगरस्येव रथस्येव रथी यथा।
स्वशरीरस्य मेधावी क्रुत्येष्ववहितो भवेत्।।
Just as a sentinel guards the gates of a city or a charioteer a chariot, an intelligent person should take care of his body. - Charaka Samhitaa 5.103
ચાર વેદ, પુરાણ, ઈતિહાસ, એ સર્વેમાં એ જ વાર્તા છે જે, 'ભગવાન ને ભગવાનના સંત એ જ કલ્યાણકારી છે.'
In the four Vedas, the Puraanas and the Itihaasa scriptures, there is but one central principle, and that is that only God and His Sant are the means to moksha. - Vachanaamrut Gadhadaa II-59
ગમે તેવી મુશ્કેલીઓમાં પણ આપણે ટકી રહ્યા છીએ, તેનું કારણ કે આપણી પરંપરામાં શાસ્ત્રોના શબ્દો છે. આંતરિક શાંતિ અને સુખ માટે શાસ્ત્રોનું વાંચન રાખવું.
We have sustained ourselves through difficulties and challenges because of our scriptural tradition. For inner peace and happiness we must read our shaastras. - Pramukh Swami Maharaj
