Sivanada ji’s hundreds of Quotes are the source of inspiration for all human beings, one of his famaous quote I like the most: “Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!”
Swami sivananda’s other famaous quotes are as follows:
-Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
-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.
-Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.
-There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.
-Know that wealth, sex-delights, power, learning are all bondage. This is the beginning of wisdom.
-Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end.
