GIVE UP VANITY

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 4, 2012 at 7:00pm

If there be any good virtues in you, think that there are many more in others. This will develop humility in you. A worldly-minded man thinks too much of himself, He thinks that there is none equal to him in appearance, intelligence and experience. This gives rise to vanity and arrogance.
He who is humble and regards worldly titles and honour as mere straw, is indeed a great man The knowledge of your weaknesses will instill humility in your heart. It will force you to equip yourself with strength and find out suitable methods to attain victory over the weaknesses.
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
