THE RAZOR PATH

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on July 6, 2012 at 7:00pm

Desires are very powerful. The senses and the mind are very turbulent and impetuous. Again and again the battle has to be fought and won. That is the reason why the spiritual path is called the "razor path."
There is no difficulty for a man of iron will and strong determination even on this razor path. Inner strength will come at every step. Extreme asceticism and self-torture are not necessary for the attainment of knowledge of the Self.

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
