BEWARE OF THE SENSES

Swami Sivananda

Cultivate discrimination between the Real and the unreal, and you will know the hollowness of the pleasures of sense-objects. Learn to realise that sensual pleasure is never complete and full. Teach yourself the miseries that over-indulgence in sensual pleasures will bring to you. Your strength should not be the strength of gun and bank-balance. It should be the invincible strength born of wisdom and discrimination. If you want God, you must turn your back to worldly enjoyments. Give up sensual life, if you do not want death. Think of the Immortal Soul or Atma. All thoughts of objects will perish by themselves.


Caution: Fraudulent Website

This is to caution all the devotees of Gurudev that some fraudsters have launched a website impersonating the official website of The Divine Life Society, in order to mislead the public and collect money in the name of booking rooms, joining Yoga Courses, etc. Devotees are advised to beware of the fake website with the address https://sivanandaashram.co.in/, email Id info@sivanandaashram.co.in & phone number 9668461538 and take necessary precautions from falling prey to such scammers. It has never been a practice of the Ashram to let the devotees book rooms or register for Yoga Courses through phone or Whatsapp.

Those who are devoted to the Ashram and Gurudev know very well that the Ashram does not charge anything for any Seva at the Ashram. Please take note that the official websites of The Divine Life Society are https://www.sivanandaonline.org and https://www.dlshq.org, email Ids are generalsecretary@sivanandaonline.org and gs@sivanandaonline.org and the online donation portal is https://donations.sivanandaonline.org

The lamp of faith must be steadily fed by contact with sages and vigilantly trimmed by meditation.
