Saying of Sage Yogaswami

Sage Yogaswami said

Yogaswami said: `Greater than life itself is good is good conduct. Those who conduct themselves with rectitude possess everything that is worthwhile. Non- killing, non-stealing, non-vituperation, non-covertness, truthfulness and humility – this are useful assets for virtuous living. `In whatever pursuits you are engaged, you should train yourself to work with zeal, keenness and delight. Such a discipline will lead you to acquire steadfastedness of the mind. It is then that the mind will develops the power of one pointedness. Which in turn will lead you to enjoy an abundance of anma-sakti. Thenceforth everything will be bright, and you will not be disturbed by agitations caused by seeing difference in objects, as friends and foes, light and darkness. `Everything originates in me; everything finds permanence in me; in me everything revolves in dissolutions.”—so much we become suffused with such pure thoughts. Further, we must frequently meditate as follows- `Nothing do I lack, everyone loves me and I too love all.” Meditating thus, one should endeavor to live up to his ideal. If one can practice spiritual sadhana in this way, the capacity to know everything and the power to do anything will develop spontaneously.
