Sivananda Upanishad Reading


1st October 1955

Prayer purifies the heart and restrains a man from evil ways. It is yearning from within the heart to be one with the Lord. It is an invocation for His blessings.
Prayer is not an asking. It is yearning of the Soul to commune with the Lord. It gives inner spiritual strength and solace.
May Lord Bless you, Sivananda

reading today. Its the first tiem I've opened the book at this page.
