BE CAUTIOUS, BUT BOLD

Swami Sivananda

Stand adamant, Be bold. Be cheerful. Be courageous. Contend manfully. Fight courageously. Control of one desire or habit overcomes another desire or habit. Habit is a very strong rope. You weave a thread of it daily. It becomes so strong that you cannot break it. Be resolute. Stick to your principles. Never budge an inch. Fear? That is the lot of sinners and ignorant people. What has fear to do with one who has resolved to lead the life divine? Never complain against the bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you remain, wherever you go and be contented with whatever the Lord gives you. Uncongenial atmosphere, unfavourable environments and obstacle! will help one only in carrying on the struggle more vigorously. Contd…


The senses and the mind are connected with each other. The senses are the channels through which the mind operates in terms of objects. The senses may be said to be the rays of the light which is the mind inside. Just as the rays of the sun emanate in all directions in empty space, the rays of the mind get projected through the apertures of the senses in relation to the objects of desire of the mind.
