TAINT NOT THY NAME

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on November 1, 2012 at 7:00pm
Maintain your good name. A good name is really the source of one’s strength. One lives in vain if one's reputation is lost. He is a dead man though he may be alive. A man does not die so long as his fame lasts.
Your character depends upon the quality of the thoughts held in your mind and the mental pictures and ideals entertained by you. As you think, so you become. If your thoughts are of a base nature, you will have a bad character. If you entertain noble thoughts, sublime ideals and holy pictures, you will have a magnanimous character. You will have a magnetic personality.
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
