HINTS ON MIND-CONTROL

Swami Sivananda

As long as your wandering mind moves externally towards objects, you cannot come face to face with God. Outgoing mind brings misery. Ingoing mind gives you peace and strength. Fasting and self-denial help one to control the senses and the mind. Fast the mind. Fast the senses. The mind and the senses will come easily under your control. If the mind wants sweetmeats, do not give sweetmeats. This is fasting the mind and the tongue. If the eyes desire to see pictures, do not go to cinema. This is fasting the sense of sight.

Caution: Fraudulent Website

This is to caution all the devotees of Gurudev that some fraudsters have launched a website impersonating the official website of The Divine Life Society, in order to mislead the public and collect money in the name of booking rooms, joining Yoga Courses, etc. Devotees are advised to beware of the fake website with the address https://sivanandaashram.co.in/, email Id info@sivanandaashram.co.in & phone number 9668461538 and take necessary precautions from falling prey to such scammers. It has never been a practice of the Ashram to let the devotees book rooms or register for Yoga Courses through phone or Whatsapp.

Those who are devoted to the Ashram and Gurudev know very well that the Ashram does not charge anything for any Seva at the Ashram. Please take note that the official websites of The Divine Life Society are https://www.sivanandaonline.org and https://www.dlshq.org, email Ids are generalsecretary@sivanandaonline.org and gs@sivanandaonline.org and the online donation portal is https://donations.sivanandaonline.org

The body is a bundle of flesh and bones. It is a compound of five elements. Such a body is 'Aham' or 'I' for a worldly man. It is mortal and temporal. How can you rely on this body, for eternal happiness and immortal wisdom through the senses?
