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.

Fear is only in duality. Fear is Mind. When you are your Self, there is no fear.

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.

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.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

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.

There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.

Arrogance is a mixture of impertinence, disobedience, indiscipline, rudeness, harshness, and a self-assertive nature.

Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Silence is the language of God; it is also the language of the heart.
