CONQUEST OF THE SELF

The conquest of the lower self is conquest of the world. All animals possess one vicious quality or the other, but man is a complex animal. He possesses numerous evil traits.
Admit your faults freely. When you are free from all evil traits, Samadhi will come by itself. Under pressure of Yoga and meditation, various sorts of impurities m the mind come out, just like the dirt of a room that has been shut for six months. Aspirants should introspect and watch their mind.

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
