Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, senior-most living direct disciple of Swami Sivananda, explains that any form of stealing. Snatching what belongs to another. Builds negative karma and destroys your inner peace.

Real abundance comes not from grasping but from being grateful for what God has already given you. When you utilize your resources with gratitude, God gives you even more. You don't have to sn**ch from anyone.

Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, senior-most living direct disciple of Swami Sivananda, reveals a teaching that cuts through the illusion of separation.

God and his Maya Shakti are not two different entities.

The magician and his power are one.

The immature mind always looks for a goal in the world of time and space. You never learn the lesson that anything in the world of time and space cannot be forever. It will be transient because time constantly moves on.

In order to understand that goal and how to attain it, the scriptures have given seven steps.

— Sri Swami Jyotirmayananda, senior-most living direct disciple of Swami Sivananda
