Put your heart, mind, intellect and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

The saying urges total, integrated attention to action: not merely doing tasks, but doing them with full presence—emotion (“heart”), thought (“mind”), discernment (“intellect”), and deepest values or spirituality (“soul”). In this view, “success” is not a trick or external advantage but the cumulative result of wholeheartedness applied consistently, even in minor duties. The emphasis on “smallest acts” suggests a discipline of everyday excellence: character and mastery are formed in ordinary moments, and spiritual life is expressed through careful work rather than occasional grand gestures. It aligns with Sivananda’s broader stress on karma yoga—selfless, attentive action as a path to inner growth.
