Thought 4 the day 9th Nov


Unattached service does not mean indifferent work. Selfless actions are not soul-less, heart-less actions. You should put your heart and soul in all that you do. Remember always that you are serving the Lord Himself in all.


Swami Sivananda



Prayer is a great spiritual force. Prayer should be done with faith, with a heart wet with sincere devotion. Do not argue about the efficacy of prayer. Prayer has tremendous influence. Open freely the chamber of your heart when you pray. Be regular in your prayer. Ask for light, purity, devotion and knowledge.


-Swami Sivananda



The Sun shines for others. The trees bear fruits for others. The river flow for the good of others. Cows yield milk for others. The human birth is likewise meant for doing good to others. By giving joy to any living being, you serve and worship God. May God bless you.


Swami Sivananda



Be ever ready to serve. Serve with pure love, kindness, and courtesy. Never show a weary or gloomy face when you serve. Live a life of utter devotion to service.


Swami Sivananda



Spiritual life is a continuous struggle not in the sense of struggle with external forces of evil, but in the sense of an inner struggle against one own lower nature.


-Swami Sivananda



Do not grumble when troubles and sorrows descend upon you. Every difficulty is an oppurtunity for you to develop your will, augment your power of endurance and turn your mind towards God. Face them with a smile. Thou art invincible. Nothing can harm you.


Swami Sivananda
