THE FIVE REQUISITES

Five things are necessary if you desire to practice vigorous and deep meditation and attain the Self quickly. They are: the vow of silence, light diet or diet of milk and fruit, personal contact with a Guru, a place with charming scenery, and a cool place.
Build a strong spiritual fortress through regular meditation. Develop a magnetic aura around you which cannot be penetrated even by the mighty messengers of Maya or Satan. Your will should be rendered strong, pure and irresistible by ceaseless meditation on the Atman, eradication or' desires and control of the senses.
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
