Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Swami Sivananda
- The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.

- There is no end of craving. Hence contentment alone is the best way to happiness. Therefore, acquire contentment.
- Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even into your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
- Desire nothing, give up all desires and be happy.
- God is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction.

- Terrible is the fight put up by the senses. Fight bravely! Conquer them you must.
