Subject: [K-list] A Short Quote by Swami Sivananda regarding Kriyas
From: Bhavin Desai

"Develop virtues like generosity, forgiveness etc. Mere Yogic Kriyas
alone will not help you much. Do self-analysis daily and eradicate
your faults and slavish habits. Rectify your defects such as
selfishness, pride, jealousy and hatred. You must develop a
compassionate heart first. You must share what you have with others
at all times, and practise selfless service. Then only will you get
purity of heart.

Yoga is Unity, identity, homogeneity, oneness and sameness with God.

Many aspirants neglect these preliminaries and jump, out of
curiosity, to Yogic Kriyas for getting Siddhis. It is a really
serious blunder. They will have a hopeless downfall. Therefore, be
careful. Mere Yogic Kriyas cannot bring our much desired results.
Purification of the heart is of paramount importance. The aspirant
should free himself from lust, anger, greed, jealousy, hatred,
egoism, vanity, attachment, pride and delusion. This is more
difficult than control of breath or the practise of Nauli or uniting
Prana and Apana.

Virtuous qualities such as mercy, tolerance, adaptability, courage,
patience, balanced state of mind and cosmic love should be
assiduously cultivated. Sages have always laid great stress on
selfless service, generous charity, purity and simple living.

With firm faith, practical application, perseverance, careful
attention to even small details and fortitude in trials, you must
set foot and proceed on the path."
