Sermonettes of Swami Sivananda


The Adverbial Guides
Eat sparingly; breathe deeply; talk kindly; Work energetically; think usefully; persevere resolutely; act rightly; behave properly; speak politely; pray wholeheartedly; mediate seriously; Realise quickly

The Wise Aspirant
Vigilant among the careless; awake among the sleepers; reflective among the thoughtless; restrained among the indulgent, the wise aspirant boldly marches forward, reaches the goal now and here and attains Immortality and Eternal Bliss. Meditate earnestly now. Aspire. Be vigilant.

Faith and Reason
Do not argue about matters that are transcendental. Reason is finite and frail, and has its own limitations. It cannot cross the borders of the transcendental world, unable to realise the presence of the Lord. What is wanted is Faith. Faith can take you to realms where reason cannot enter. Have unshakeable faith and meditate. You will soon attain God-realisation.
