Swami Satchidananda

Wise words from Swami Satchidananda from Integral Yoga magazine

Learn lessons from the ups and downs in life. You need failures; otherwise, you won’t have stepping stones to go up. Nobody has ever gone up without failures. It’s just natural. The more intense you are in the spiritual field, the greater the tests that will come. If you read the life stories of sages and saints and great devotees, nobody was spared from that. Don’t think that you will be always praised. But, if you know that this process is natural, you won’t get disturbed over it. On the other hand, you’ll know that you’re growing. The tests, themselves, are proof that you’re on the right path and that you’re being tested. Don’t get disheartened by that.”

“God bless you. Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi.”
