Be Up And Doing

The power of prayer is indescribable. Its glory is ineffable. Sincere devotees only realise its
usefulness and splendour.
Sit not idly craving God to help thee, but be up and doing as God helps those who help
themselves. Do the best you can and leave the rest to God.
Serve the devotees. Remain in their company. Do Japa and Kirtan. Study Ramayana and
Bhagavatam. You will soon develop devotion. The Divine Grace will descend upon you.
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
