The inward battle--against our mind, our wounds, and the residues of the past--is more terrible than outward battle.
SivanandaMoral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.
SivanandaLife is a pilgrimage. The wise man does not rest by the roadside inns. He marches direct to the illimitable domain of eternal bliss, his ultimate destination.
SivanandaGive up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.
