SIVANANDA DAILY READING FOR 11 SEPTEMBER SIVANANDA GITA – 4 (CONTINUED)

I respect all saints and prophets of all religions. I respect all
religions, all cults, all faiths and all creeds.

I serve all, love all, mix with all and see the Lord in all. I stick
to my promises. I serve the poor. This is my delight. I do mental
prostrations to asses, dogs, trees, bricks, stones and all creatures.

I respect elders and sadhus. I obey. I please all through sincere
selfless service.

I attend on guests very carefully. I run hither and thither to serve
them. I shampoo the legs of sick persons and sadhus.

I give very prompt reply to all my letters. I do several things at a
time. I write with electric speed.

I spend everything. I do lot of charity. I do not keep anything. I
take immense delight in feeding the poor and my students. I try to be
a mother to them.

I talk to others on things which I have myself practised. I look
within always, introspect, analyse, and examine. I hold the trisul,
spiritual diary, daily routine and resolve.

I ever served my masters with great sincerity and intense faith and
devotion. I learnt many useful lessons for life. I developed many
virtues.

I wandered without food during my parivrajak life. I slept on the
roadside at night without clothing during winter. I ate dried bread
with water.

I stick tenaciously to my principles and ideals. I do not argue much.
I live in silence.

I pray and do kirtan for the peace of the whole world, for the health
and peace of sick people, and for the peace of the departed souls and
the earth bound spirits also.

I take a dip in the Ganges in the name of all those who are longing
for a bath in the Ganges.

I sing the names of all saints of all religions in the bhajan hall. I
observe All-Saints day and All-Souls day.

Om. Om. Om.
