“Scriptures contain the wisdom of sages and saints, philosophers and mystics. Wisdom is the key to the plenitude of power and joy. Be forever a thirsting aspirant after spiritual knowledge. Be forever a student. You can ward off old age and even death itself by preserving within you the youthful zeal and a devout eagerness to learn more, to practice more and to realize more deeply, the great spiritual Truth, which is inexhaustible, in spite of having been extolled and expounded by millions of saints, sages, and seers from time immemorial.” – Swami Sivananda
