"A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching"

- Swami Sivananda

About this Quote

In this quote, Swami Sivananda compares a mountain and an ocean to life, emphasizing the importance of small details and actions. Simply as a mountain is comprised of small grains of earth and the ocean is composed of tiny drops of water, life is comprised of many little minutes, ideas, and choices. Sivananda recommends that even the smallest of these details can have considerable repercussions, whether favorable or unfavorable. This highlights the idea that every action we take, every word we speak, and every idea we have can have a causal sequence on our lives and the lives of those around us. For that reason, it is vital to focus on the little things and make mindful choices, as they can shape our future in ways we may not even recognize.
