SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE

Swami Sivananda

Anger, lust, greed, jealousy, hatred will always lurk in your subconscious mind. Beware. Be cautious. Be vigilant. Be alert. Eradicate them. Otherwise they will gain strength and will crush you later on and swallow all your Sadhana. Curb your passion slowly by Japa, prayer, meditation, Satsang, study of scriptures and Sattwic food. Sharpen the intellect. Thin out the ego. Purify the mind. Do the work of self-purification rigorously. Grow in spiritual strength day by day. Purity of mind, annihilation of ego, dispassion or disgust for worldly objects, and keen aspiration are the preliminary essentials for God-realisation. Give up your life, if you want to live.

A sadhaka, or spiritual seeker, is a psychologist of himself or herself, and as a psychologist of one′s own self, one has to study one′s own mind in the given condition in which it is at any particular moment of time. Today, at this moment, what is the condition of your mind?
