SWAMI SIVANANDA’S TEACHINGS
1st DON’T
Don’t talk too much.
Use measured words while talking. Do not talk much. Try to finish a conversation in five minutes. Understand a man rightly when he approaches you. Speak to him politely with respect and dispose him quickly; conserve energy. Do not indulge in long and unnecessary talks.
Swami Sivananda prescribes the practice of Mouna for one and all, as this helps in the preservation of energy, development of will and enjoyment of peace. Then you will never leave it. It gives you great strength. All the members of the house should observe Mouna for two hours daily, and for six hours on Sundays, and for a full week during Christmas and summer holidays.
