WHO IS A SAINT?

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on August 30, 2012 at 7:00pm

The company of saints is the cause of emancipa¬tion. Saints are those whose minds are unruffled, who are free from avarice, who have conquered desire, who have brought their senses and internal nature under control, who are devoted to the Lord, who have no longing for anything, who are the same in pleasure and pain, who are free from attachment, who have the attributes of self-control, and who are content with whatever comes their way. Saints are the true benefactors of the world. Tile world is sustained by them.

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
