BEWARE OF THESE THINGS

Swami Sivananda

The real enemies are egoism, pride, lust, anger, avarice, infatuation and selfishness. Beware. Beware. The dacoits of anger, lust, greed are after you. Fame, power, wealth and sex are the four doors to the fort of self-degeneration and imprisonment. These four are to be carefully abandoned. Every thought which is not absolutely pure and unselfish shuts you off from God. Luxury is a curse. It will weaken you. Never drink liquor, because it is the root of all evil. Smoking is a greater curse than drink. Give up smoking at once, from today. Materialism and immorality, worldliness and bad conduct are enemies of the unity of Existence.


Ignorance is the root-cause of this revolving cycle of births and deaths. Knowledge of Atman alone is capable of destroying ignorance.

- Swami Sivananda
