MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1209
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
SELF-EXAMINATION
Swami SivanandaSelf-examination is a scrutiny or enquiry into one's own state, conduct, motives, mental and moral condition and thoughts, especially with regard to one's religious feelings and duties. Self-examination consists of self-introspection and self-analysis. Self-examination will lead you to the knowledge of your own nature. It will improve your heart and correct your mistakes, defects, weaknesses and faults. It will bestow wisdom on you. When you are alone, watch your thoughts. Examine your heart. Find out your defects and foibles. Before retiring to bed, take stock of your thoughts, words and acts of the day. Find out: "What evil quality have I mastered today? What temptations have I resisted? Which virtue have I developed today? Which sense have I controlled?" You will then evolve quickly.
You must have the determination that no matter how much the mind pulls in the wrong direction, you will not succumb. - Swami Chidananda
