SPIRITUAL CULTURE

Swami Sivananda

Go to bed early. Get up at 4 a.m. Answer calls of nature, clean the mouth and take a bath. Recite some prayers and hymns on God, practise control of breath, repeat the Lord's name, and meditate from 5 to 6 a.m. Sit in an easy posture throughout, without movement. Increase the duration by gradual practice. Perform your daily routine of religious observances and worship, if any. Write your favourite Name of the Lord such as Om, Sri Ram, Jesus, Om Namah Sivaya— in your note book for 10 to 30xminutes. Sing the glory of God, prayers, hymns, etc., for half to one hour at night, with family and friends. Make annual resolves on the above lines. Regularity, tenacity and fixity are essential. Record your spiritual practices in a spiritual diary daily. Review it every month and correct your failures.

Every day, each hour, each moment is an opportunity for you to elevate your consciousness into the highest supreme state of Divinity.
