Sivananda Saraswati Quotes about Knowledge

  • Be for ever a student. He and he alone is an old man who feels that he has learnt enough and has need for no more knowledge.
  • Pain, sorrow, ignorance are all illusory; they cannot live. Bliss, joy, knowledge are true; they cannot die.
  • Regular meditation opens the avenues of intuitional knowledge, makes the mind calm and steady, awakens an ecstatic feeling, and brings the practitioner in contact with the source of his/her very being.
  • Why do you read many books? The great book is within your heart. Open the pages of this inexhaustible book, the source of all knowledge. You will know everything.
