VIRTUE AND VICE

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on October 20, 2012 at 7:00pm

That which elevates you is virtue; that which pulls you down is vice or sin. That which takes you to the goal is virtue; that which makes you a worldly man is sin. That which hurls you down into the dark abyss of ignorance is sin.
That which gives you illumination is virtue; that which causes intoxication is sin. That which purifies your heart is virtue; that which taints it is sin. That which gives you peace, joy, satisfaction, exhilaration and expansion of heart is virtue; that which brings restlessness, dissatisfaction and depression of heart is vice.

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
