Swami Sivananda

Do not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!

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

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

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

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

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

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.

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.
