Swami Sivananda’s Letter

1st November, 1942

Dear Vivek,

Wisdom or Knowledge of the Self (Brahma-Jnana) never dawns upon the mind which is filled with greed, anger, lust and jealousy, which is under the control of desires and expectations and which is devoid of contentment.

Wisdom dawns only in a pure and calm mind.

Therefore purify your mind and develop serenity.

Sivananda
