Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

AVOIDANCE OF TRICKY WAYS

Swami Sivananda

Do not take recourse to base tricks and mean craftiness. Be frank and straightforward. Obey the Laws and commandments of Scriptures implicitly. Selfishness, cheating, double-dealing, diplomacy, hypocrisy, and falsehood are the constant companions of greed. Do not claim equal position with your Preceptor, or teachers or elders. Be obedient to your father and mother. They are the visible representatives of God.

Practice of self-restraint, mental equipoise, truthfulness, compassion, purity, selflessness and meditation constitutes the process of Yoga.

- Swami Sivananda

Let us examine a few of the prophetic utterances of these great messengers of God. Is there
any religion that tells us “Utter lies; be dishonest; hate people; develop anger and animosity; be
impure; be immoral?” No, “certainly not”—is the emphatic answer. Every religion lays stress upon
a life of Truth, Absolute purity, of compassion, of love, of devotion, of tenderness, of a life of
sacrifice and of goodness in thought, word and deed. Every religion has given a way of life to its
followers as the ideal to be followed, in order to attain the goal viz., ultimate imperishable happiness
free from birth and death, disease and misery. The way or the means is one and the same in every
great religion. It is a life of purity and devotion practically demonstrated by each one of the
prophets, saints and great men of wisdom.
