Look into your heart. Find out what special talent God has given you. Develop it and use it for the good of others. Eradicate negative qualities by practicing their opposite virtuous traits. Virtue begets virtue. If one virtue is developed, another virtue will automatically come to you. – Swami Sivananda Saraswati

• How is this applicable to us?
• How do we view our heart?
• Do we see ourselves as having love in our heart?
• Do we see ourselves with a broken heart?
• Do we have a heart of gold?
• Do we wear our heart on our sleeve?
• Do we have a change of heart?
• Does our heart skip a beat?
• Do we follow our heart?
• Do we have a heart?
• Are we young at heart?
• Do we break someone’s heart?
• Do we lose heart?
• Do we have a heart of stone?

Now will we take this to heart and apply what Swami Sivananda has said.

It is written in our Scriptures that our soul resides in our heart. We must listen to what our heart says. Are we attentive and do we understand what our heart is saying to us? Are we aware of our negative traits, like being hard hearted and hurting others feelings? Do we break other’s hearts by being ruthless and callous? Are we aware that we lose heart too soon and cannot accept our responsibilities?

Above all guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. – Proverb 4:23

Our heart is the foundation of our relationship with God and the place where he deposits his love and blessings.

When I was young, we said this phrase often, ‘have a heart!’ It means be kind, have pity and was used in a funny way, like please do not make me write this again or make me clean my room, ‘Have a heart!’
