More quotes by Sivananda
Rise above the deceptions and temptations of the mind. This is your duty. Learn to become wise. Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy. The real spiritual progress of the meditator is measured by the extent to which they achieve inner tranquility and freedom from desire.
Sivananda
Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in eternal awareness or pure consciousness.
Sivananda
Modern civilisation is complicated and artificial. Simple folk live in a world of love and peace. Let no one hate another or harm another.
Sivananda
A purified mind can grasp anything. It can dive deep into the subtlest subject and understand even transcendental things.
Sivananda
A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
Sivananda
Thinking of disease constantly will intensify it. Feel always 'I am healthily in body and mind'.
Sivananda
Man needs now no more degrees, but character, No more study, but wisdom.
Sivananda
The goal of life is god realisation.
Sivananda
Sow love, reap peace. Sow meditation, reap wisdom.
Sivananda
Pain, sorrow, ignorance are all illusory they cannot live. Bliss, joy, knowledge are true they cannot die.
Sivananda
Bear insult, bear injury.
Sivananda
There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
Sivananda
Learn to give, give in plenty, give with love, give without any expectation, one does not lose anything by giving, on the other hand you get back a thousand fold.
Sivananda
Make others truly happy as you strive to make yourself happy. Speak a helpful word. Give a cheering smile. Do a kind act. Serve a little. Wipe the tears of one who is in distress. Render smooth a rough place in another's path. You will feel great joy.
Sivananda
Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
Sivananda
Be for ever a student. He and he alone is an old man who feels that he has learnt enough and has need for no more knowledge.
Sivananda
Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp goad
Sivananda
The human intellect has not been able to conceive of anything more noble and sublime in the history of the world than the teachings of the Upanishads.
Sivananda
You can have calmness of mind at all times by the practice of yoga. You can have restful sleep. You can have increased energy, vigour, vitality, longevity, and a high standard of health. You can turn out efficient work within a short space of time. You can have success in every walk of life.
Sivananda
Common sense is the fundamental factor in all spiritual disciplines. No rule is an eternal rule. Rules change from place to place, time to time and from one condition to another condition.
