Self-Control 6

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Sivaya

“Lust is like the root of the tree, and desires are branches and twings. One cannot completely get rid if the six passions: lust, anger, greed, and the like. Therefore one should direct them to God. If you must have desire, then you should desire love of God and be greedy to attain Him. If you must be conceited and egotistic, then feel conceited and egotistic, then feel conceited and egotistic thinking that you are the servant of God, the child of God.”

---Sri Ramakrishna

Tirumantiram by Rishi Tirumular (verse 2041):

Redeem the Senses By Intelligence and Prayer

Praise the Holy Form

Of the Pure One;

Praise Him,

The Senses redeeming by intelligence;

In your heart welling up in love,

You shall become one with Him,

He the Lord of directions four

And of beings, in other all.

Tirukural by Tiruvalluvar:

(128) The goodness of all one's virtues can be lost by speaking even a single word of injury.

Sivaya Namah
