Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.
SivanandaAhimsa is not mere negative non-injury. It is positive, cosmic love. It is the development of a mental attitude in which hatred is replaced by love. Ahimsa is true sacrifice. Ahimsa is forgiveness. Ahimsa is Sakti (power). Ahimsa is true strength.
SivanandaThe harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.
SivanandaDo not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.
SivanandaArrogance is a mixture of impertinence, disobedience, indiscipline, rudeness, harshness, and a self-assertive nature.
SivanandaInternalize the vagrant mind and fix it in the Lord. Then the meditation will be profound and intense. Don't open the eyes. Don't move from the seat. Melt yourself down into Him. Dive in the deep corners of your heart. Get immerse in the brilliant Atman. Drink the nectar of Immortality. Now enjoy the silence. Son of the nectar! Rejoice! Peace! Silence! Glory!
Sivananda
