A steady mind will serve as a powerful search light to find out hidden spiritual treasures of the Self.

Translated from Bhagavad Gita by Swami Sivananda

“Friends and enemies are not outside. They exist in the mind only. It is the mind that makes a friend an enemy and an enemy a friend.”

~ Translated from Bhagavad Gita (sixth discourse) by Swami Sivanand

Ask yourself: Are you ‘satiating’ your desires in the short run to ‘control’ or ‘sustain’ your desire in the long run?

When you find meaning in the bigger picture of life, you will not be swayed by little things that come your way.

Focus on your actions, not the outcome. Because you can ONLY control your actions, not the outcome. Focusing on what you can control is the key to achieving meaning and content.

Don’t be attached to pleasure. Don’t fixate on pain. Let pleasure and pain ebb and flow while you remain the same.

Honesty is intensely bitter, sometimes. Nonetheless, it is better than indulging in sweet dishonesty.

Losing is the greatest trigger of learning.

Don’t be attached to the world. Adapt to it.

Real cowards are those who don’t try to win because they’re afraid of losing.
