"Serenity, regularity, absence of vanity,
Sincerity, simplicity, veracity.
Equanimity, fixity, non­irritability,
Adaptability, humility, tenacity,
Integrity, nobility, magnanimity,
Charity, generosity, purity.
Practise daily these eighteen 'ities',
You will soon attain immortality.
Brahman is the only real entity,
Mr. So and So is a false non­entity,
You will abide in eternity and infinity,
You will behold unity in diversity,
You cannot attain this in the university."


-Swami Sivananda
