Sermonettes of Swami Sivananda

                                                                      The Soul
Have Confidence in Yourself
Understand clearly the aim of your life and do work that is congenial to your aim. Work hard to live up to and realise your ideal. Remove a careless and forgetful attitude – have confidence in your own powers and faculties. Keep up your mental poise amidst all changes that may affect you, without consideration of its results. Have the mind rooted in God throughout your daily activities and with intense concentration kindle the fire of devotion.

Be Self-controlled
Spiritual life is actually living in God. It is a life of fullness and perfection; a transcendental experience of unalloyed Bliss. Be self-controlled, be just, noble and impartial. Cultivate peace in the garden of your heart by removing the weeds of lust, hatred, greed, selfishness and jealousy. Know that you are one with God.
