Sermonettes of Swami Sivananda


The Soul
Hear the Inner Voice
Do not be guided and influenced by public opinion. March boldly and cheerfully in the path of Truth, consulting your conscience and hearing the inner sweet voice of the Soul. Keep company with only people who have the same ideals as yourself. Share what you have with the less fortunate and serve the sick. Unfold the Divinity hidden in the chambers of your heart. Always repeat the Lord’s name and associate the idea of purity, infinity, eternity and immortality when you think of God.
Knowledge gives Freedom
The practice of selfless service destroys sins and impurities and brings about the purity of the mind. The knowledge of God dawns in a pure mind and is the only direct means to attain freedom. Knowledge certainly destroys ignorance as light destroys the thickest darkness.
Be absorbed wholeheartedly in your work giving a 100% effort, having complete confidence and not caring for the results. Be always cheerful and do not think of the past. Keep a cool and balanced mind, being bold and courageous. You are bound to succeed in any undertaking. This is the secret of success.
