Swami Sivananda


What is divine life? To shed the animal in man and to sublimate the human in him to the Divine; to express the sublimation in his daily life, in his hourly life, in thought, word and deed. That is Divine life.

To realise God is your duty. God-realisation is your birthright. Develop strong yearning for God-realisation.

Have confidence in your self. Be self-controlled. Be fiery in your determination. Stick to your resolves tenaciously.

Cultivate a very strong faith in God. Do total self-surrender and obtain His grace. Supreme love comes only by the grace of God. Grace of God will make you stick to the spiritual path. You will know that life is eternal and that you are eternal. God is the only reality. God is the only truth. God alone exists. Know this, realise this.
