Awake, Achieve The Goal

Remember the goal and the purpose for which you have taken this physical body. Do not
give indulgence or leniency to the mind. Watch the Vrittis or thoughts. Drive them. Just as the
soldier kills his enemies with his sword when they enter the fort, take the rod of Viveka when the
mind raises its hood or Vritti and strike indiscriminately. Annihilate the thoughts.
From "Light, Power and Wisdom" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
