Sermonettes of Swami Sivananda


Message of Hope
Never despair, be always hopeful and you will succeed. Hope is the mother of Success. Hope gives you happiness and pushes you to sublime heights of splendour and glory. Hope inspires and encourages. Each one in this world rests on hope. In the end, the heart is the last organ that ceases to function. Hope is the last thing that dies in man. You live not on what you have, but on what you hope for.
Turn Your Gaze Within
Look into your own heart and find that Love. Cultivate it consciously and deliberately. Cast out the thorns and weeds. They have no place in this beautiful garden of your heart where the Lord dwells. You make great and expansive preparations for the reception of important guests. How much more preparation is necessary when receiving in the temple of your heart, the Lord of the universe.  
Banish Worry
Worry is uneasiness in Mind; the worry of business, of politics, of a householder. Worry kills a man and destroys his hopes of Life. It is like a cancer and eventually wears you out. Do not worry, it only harms you. The surest antidote for worry is to keep busy doing something useful. Do the best and leave the rest to God.
