Swami Sivananda

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.”

“Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.”

“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.”

“Life is a pilgrimage. The wise man does not rest by the roadside inns. He marches direct to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, his ultimate destination.”

“God is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction.”

“Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.”

“A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.”

“Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.”

“Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.”
