Swami Sivananda

“There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.”

“A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.”

“The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.”

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.”

“Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy.”

“Today is your own. Tomorrow perchance may never come.”

“Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future.”

“There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.”
