Dear SrI Ramarajan:

There are hundreds of passages from VedAs
that are inspirational .I do not understand
the context of usage of the need for Vedic passages
for those , who may not have faith in the VedAs .
You may wish to use just the translation .

However our dharmam is SanAtana dharmam
and is valid for all humanity.

Here is a sample passage from the ancient Rg Vedam:

didrikshENya: pari kAshtAsu jEnya eeLEnyO mahO arbhAya jeevasE
puruthrA yad abhavat sUr ahaibhyO magavA visvadarsata:

--Rg Vedam: I.146.5

(Meaning): In all corners of the Universe , He is the One
that is fit to be sought after.He is the glorious and victorious
One , who qualifies for our adoration . He is the one and only
source of life for the great as well as the small ones among
His creation. His wealth is matchless and His fame as
the Lord of the Universe is manifest to one and all . He is
the creator of every sentient and insentient beings and
He is the divine and illustrious source for all of His
multifarious creations .

If you need some Upanishadic passage , which is more
like an inspirational prayer , you can use the Saanthi
manthrams like " Bhadram KarNEbhi:SruNAyaama: "

Another one is from Rg Vedam X.37.2 :

Saa maa sathyOkthi: pari paathu
visvathO dhyAvA cha yathra tatanannahAni cha
visvam anyan ni visatE yadhEjathi
visvAhApO visvahOdhEthi Soorya:

(Meaning): " May these ever- true words guide me
(and protect me) on every side , wherever heaven and earth
and the days are spread , in whom rests the entire dynamic
creation in motion , in whom the waters daily flow and the Sun raises
every day ".

V.Sadagopan
