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.
Swami Sivananda

If you do not know the laws of right conduct, you cannot form your character.
Swami Sivananda

Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy.
Swami Sivananda

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

Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.
Swami Sivananda

Moral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.
Swami Sivananda

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.
Swami 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.
Swami Sivananda
