👉 Swadhyaya is an Essential Daily Ritual

🔶 Swadhyaya – the study of self in the light of the thoughts of elevated souls – is a principal means of ascent in human life. It augments knowledge, enlightens the mind and helps purifying the character and wakening the inner self. It is a kind of sadhana (devout endeavor) that ensures siddhi (supreme success). Swadhaya is necessary for preeminent progress and happiness in life. Adoption of this as an integral part of daily routine gradually sharpens the intellect, nurtures discerning thoughts and wisdom and illuminates the inner self. Therefore we must cultivate the habit of reading inspiring thoughts and works of great personalities and edifying scriptures and contemplate over what is read and also try disseminating it among others.
