SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE

Swami Sivananda

God walks in the garb of a beggar. He moans in pain in the guise of the sick. Open your eyes. See Him in all. Serve all. Love all. Have purity of motive. Reform thyself first. Purify. Meditate. Unfold the divinity. This is your foremost duty. Adapt yourself to your surroundings and environments. You will enjoy peace and strength. Cultivate strong patience, under crushing trials, and intense forbearance in the face of malignant persecution. You will succeed in every attempt. Be humble, unassuming and charitably dis posed towards all. There is no greater obstacle to divine life than the craving for carnal pleasures. Constant and eternal vigilance is required in the spiritual struggle. If you control the tongue, you have controlled all the senses. Strengthen your will. Be bold. Be prepared. The hour of trial and test will come. Annihilate lust through enquiry, dispassion and meditation.


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

It is very easy to say, "I′m perfectly all right. " Everybody says that. "All fault is others′. I am not at fault. " This is the judgment of oneself that everyone has. You will never say that you are at fault. It is always the fault of others. But this is to put the cart before the horse, and is not the attitude of a good psychologist. You must be an impartial witness to analyse your own self, which is indistinguishable from your own mind.
