Interpretation
Swami Sivananda’s saying condenses a central Vedantic and yogic program into a few imperatives: ethical action (doing good), ego-transcendence (selflessness), and inner renunciation (mentally removing attachment to “everything”). In this framework, liberation (moksha) is not presented as a remote metaphysical prize but as the lived result of purifying motives and loosening identification with possessions, status, and even mental constructs. The phrase “divine life” echoes Sivananda’s broader emphasis on integrating spirituality with everyday conduct—service, discipline, and detachment—so that liberation is approached through practical transformation rather than mere belief or ritual.
