Swami Sivananda

Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.

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

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.

Straight men just can't imagine the bliss of being in a relationship with someone who finds farting as funny as they do.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
