Atharva Veda Near Quotations

My life is prosperous, fruitful and approved; I know that the Guru, the Supreme Lord God, is near me.

From near thy vicinity, from near thy distance (do I call), remain here, do not follow; do not follow the Fathers of yore! Firmly do I fasten thy life's breath.

I will get all My people near Me, for they are Mine, and I am theirs. Then, I will start teaching and training them, until they become entirely ego-free. For the last 25 years, it has all been sweetness, kindness, soft persuasion; hereafter, it will be different. I will drag them, place them on the table and operate. That is to say, I have no anger or hate. I have only Love.

My mind yearns to behold the Lord in meditation. I think of Him, I hope and thirst for Him, day and night; is there any Saint who may bring Him near me?

I subdue enemies with the help of my 'knowledge' and 'enlighten' near and dear ones!
