Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including spirituality.
Swami SatchidanandaDon't give up your power to change things. Negativity and unhappiness are caused by you. You can change your attitude.
Swami SatchidanandaIf you have done something meritorious, you experience pleasure and happiness; if wrong things, suffering. A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you wonโt find fault with anybody. You are your own best friend as well as your worst enemy. (99)
Swami SatchidanandaWhen even one virtue becomes our nature, the mind becomes clean and tranquil. Then there is no need to practice meditation; we will automatically be meditating always. (151)
Swami SatchidanandaThereโs no value in digging shallow wells in a hundred places. Decide on one place and dig deep. Even if you encounter a rock, use dynamite and keep going down. If you leave that to dig another well, all the first effort is wasted and there is no proof you wonโt hit rock again. (52)
