MIND--THE WANDERING DEER

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on October 8, 2012 at 7:00pm

The mind is like a deer which has forgotten its real abode. It wanders about in the forest of worldliness. It is bound by the ties of desires and tortured by the tigers of sense-objects.
When will this mind, which has been undergoing endless miseries in countless births, be able to attain eternal happiness? Reflect on this point daily. O mind, leave off your wandering nature at once. Do not think of the opposite sex, food and money.

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
