Listening: The Teacher's Most Important Skill

Whatever you do, do your best. You will incur demerit if you do not give your best. If you know of a better way to serve then you must make use of it. You cannot hold back from fear of the effort required or from fear of criticism. Do not do work in a sloppy manner because no one is watching or because the work is not for you. Give your best effort. Try to do actions that can bring maximum good and minimum evil. Try at all times to accumulate merits. Do Karma Yoga increasingly often as this will accelerate your paying off of karmic debts. There is no time to lose. Swami Sivananda has said, “You can elevate others only if you have elevated yourself. A prisoner cannot liberate other prisoners.” #KarmaYoga #SelflessService #SpiritualGrowth #SwamiSivananda #YogaWisdom
