WATCH FOR THESE THIEVES

To deprive you of the treasures of the Atman, the thieves of lust greed, anger and egoism have bound you with the ties of desire for children and love of enjoyment, and left you in the forest of this worldly existence.
Man groans in the forest of worldliness as he is troubled by dangers and sufferings. The dangers are the pains caused by the three kinds of afflictions. The sufferings are hunger and thirst, birth and death.

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
