SivanandaIt is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.
SivanandaEvery temptation that is resisted, every evil thought that is curbed, every desire that is subdued, every bitter word that is withheld, every noble aspiration that is encouraged, every sublime thought that is cultivated, adds to the development of will-force, good character, and attainment of eternal bliss and immortality.
