Do your duty to your father, mother, wife, son, relatives, friends, religious teachers, and to society and the country. Do not be troubled by worldly cares and anxieties, by sorrow or misfortune.
From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963).
Humility is a bomb of infinite potency which alone can destroy the invincible citadel of egoism. Egoism is harder than granite or steel. A thousand bombs can destroy a big city or a country, but the bomb of humility, which is more powerful than the sum total of all bombs, can destroy egois
Observe the vow of silence for some hours daily, at/east once a month. Discipline the tongue. Think twice before you speak, before you let fail a word. Know the power of each word that you utter and the effect it will produce on the minds of those who hear it.
Do not allow the tongue to run riot. Speak a few words which are sweet and loving. A word once spoken c
The snake that is seen in the rope at night does not exist when a lamp is brought. It appears in the middle only. Such is the case with silver in the mother-of-pearl, water in the mirage, and city in the clouds. Therefore, they are unreal even though they appear. The dream objects also do not exist in the daytime. Similarly, the objects of this world appear only in the midd
The fault-finding nature is ingrained in him. He jumps at once to find the faults of others. He has morbid eyes and cannot see the good in others. He is proud of his own abilities and actions.

When the heart of man expands through spiritual culture, when he gets knowledge of the Self, then these petty thoughts perish. Mark how man is in a degraded and deplorable state on account of the influence of desires! He clings to them like a leech and thinks that he is always on th
You cannot extend the same love which you have for your own children to the children of others. You cannot consider other children as your own. You have a constricted or narrow heart. You cannot freely share your possessions with all. Your love is confined to a few persons only. Th
Peace of mind is unknown to him as he is always planning and scheming to acquire wealth, power, name arid fame. He always separates himself from others. Th e se n s e of separateness and attachment are present in him to ti
Drop the matter at once. Forget all about the unhappy incident. Always speak well of everybody. Speak well even of the man who has done serious injury to you. You will then
TANTRA:
Tantra is a practical system. It is called a sadhana shastra, which means that it is a practice oriented scripture. Its purpose is to give each and every individual spiritual illumination by any means that is suitable and available. It consists of a vast number of different practices to suit all types of people, combined with the highest concepts realized by tantric sages throughout the ages in states of deep meditation. It is because of this combination that we have such high regard for
Serenity is like a rock. Waves of irritation may dash on it but cannot affect it. Meditate daily on the ever-tranquil Atman. The Divine Light will descend on a calm mind only. Only an aspirant with a calm mind can enter into deep meditation and Samadhi. The upward path to goodness is very difficult, thorny and precipitous.

Some aspirants get offended easily when their bad qualities and faults are pointed out. They become indignant and begin to fight with the person who points out tile defects. They think that the person is concocting the defects out of jealousy or hatred.

« Sooner Or Later » does not comes from Poligraf's catalogue as such. Rather, it is a piece for solo guitar that I intend to publish on an album of about ten acoustic compositions, all featuring the classical guitar, either playing solo or accompanied by other acoustic instruments.
The original title of this piece was « Maybe Later, » but I never liked it that much because of the element of doubt and uncertainty that it conveys, which doesn't fit the music. I reworked some parts while getting rea

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.

Admit your faults freely. When you are free from all evil traits, Samadhi will come by itself. Under pressure of Yoga and meditation, various sorts of impurities m the mind come out, just like the dirt of a room that has been shut for six months. Aspirants should introspect and watch their mind.

This makes him distinctly human. Lust, anger and hatred belong to his brutal nature. The reflection of the Cosmic Intelligence is at the back of his intellect. So, he is an image of God. When the brutal instinct dies, when his ignorance is destroyed, when he is able to bear insult and injury, he becomes Divine.

This is my first post.
I want to welcome all Yogi/Yoginis to my blog.
He who practices Ahimsa with real faith can move the whole world, can tame wild animals, can win the hearts of all and subdue his enemies. He can do and undo things. The power of Ahimsa is ineffable. Its glory is indescribable and its greatness inscrutable. The force of Ahimsa is infinitely more wonderful and subtle than electricity or magnetism.

Valor, intrepidity and boldness are synonymous terms. They are positive attributes of the mind. These qualities are very necessary for material and spiritual progress. A coward dies many times before he actually leaves his physical body. Honesty and justice are linked with courage. There are people who can exhibit physical courage but have no moral character.
