Daily meditations by Swami Sivananda: 18th Oct - Spiritual Growth

The man who can see his own faults as he see those of others will soon become a great soul. Have ceaseless devotion to truth and be ready to sacrifice your all for it.

Do not constantly brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill the mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Be cautious. Just think of the causes which led to your failure and try to remove them in future. Be vigilant and careful. Strengthen yourself with new vigour and virtues. Develop your will power slowly.
