BROADEN YOUR OUTLOOK

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on July 13, 2012 at 7:00pm

If you are attached to your wife and children, you cannot develop universal love. You cannot look upon all mankind as your own kith and kin. You cannot cultivate universal brotherhood. You cannot feel oneness with all.
You cannot extend the same love which you have for your own children to the children of others. You cannot consider other children as your own. You have a constricted or narrow heart. You cannot freely share your possessions with all. Your love is confined to a few persons only. Through selfishness you create a boundary or wall around the members of your family.

From "Daily Sayings" 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
