Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

COURTESY

Swami Sivananda

Be courteous even in common speech. You will be loved by all. Courtesy is the sister of charity which keeps love alive and quenches the fire of hatred. Show courtesy to all. Let it be artless, continuous and uniform. Have courtesy in your heart. Show courtesy in your outward behaviour. Return a salute joyfully. Salute the person who salutes you with a better salutation. Always salute first to all. Courtesy sweetens and ennobles life. It makes smooth the road of life, like grace and beauty. It opens the door and allows the stranger into the house. It enlivens the hearts of guests and visitors.

Have faith in God. Sing His Name. meditate. Enter into illumination and the ecstasy of bliss.

- Swami Sivananda

And ultimately I conclude by recalling to you the two great instructions given by Sri
Krishna—Vairagya and Abhyasa; for when all these things have been said and done, the underlying
secret of overcoming this Vikshepa of the mind is Vairagya only. Why are you not able to control
the mind through meditation? Because it runs after things. What things? It runs after the things to
which it is attached. Raga is at the root of Vikshepa. Raga comes through Avichara. You imagine
that the objects of the world will give you happiness. This is Avichara. You should do Vichara,
discrimination; you should find out the defects of worldly pleasures and develop Vairagya towards
all kinds of earthly pleasures. So there should be Vichara, there should be Vairagya, and combined
with these, if you practise the things already mentioned, you will be able to progress on the path of
Yoga and Vedanta, on the path of divine living.
Swami Chidananda
