"The seven mothers are the cow, the earth, the queen, one's natural mother, one's nurse, the wife of a brahmana, and the wife of one's teacher or spiritual master. The five fathers are one's natural father, one's spiritual master, one's father-in-law, a man who gives one food, and a man who gives one protection."

Chanakya Pandita

"The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun." 

 Paramahansa Yogananda
