The eradication of egoistic tendencies
by Swami Sivananda
Eradicate evil qualities.
The development of virtuous qualities will itself remove the negative qualities.
But it is better to make a positive attempt in the eradication of these evil qualities.
Then the progress will be rapid. It is a double attack on the enemy. Then success becomes easy and sure.
If you could remove lust, or anger, or egoism, all other evil qualities will disappear by themselves.
All evil qualities are the attendants of egoism. If egoism is destroyed, if the commander is killed, all the soldiers or retinues will take to their heels out of fright, because they have lost their head.
All vices originate from anger. If anger is destroyed, all sorts of vices will vanish. Therefore, concentrate your attention on killing egoism or anger. Then the whole work is done.
— Swami Sivananda
Repeat God’s name constantly
“The water to purify your heart is the name of God.” “Of utmost importance is to increase the repetition of God’s Name (japa) daily. In this way, your heart and mind will be purified, and only then will you find (realize) God within you.”
~ Haidakhan Babaji
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
