    Keeping a daily spiritual diary is important for self-improvement on the spiritual path. It helps keep you accountable and focused on righteousness. The diary serves as a teacher, guide, and "eye-opener" to help destroy evil qualities and ensure regular spiritual practice. Maintaining a diary checks the mind's "happy-go-lucky ways" and helps overcome anger, lust, and other negative traits. At the end of each month, reviewing your diary allows you to calculate time spent on spiritual activities and identify areas for improvement. A daily diary teaches the value of time and ensures you don't waste even a single minute unnecessarily.

      Importance of Spiritual Diary 

     
                                                                                                                        ‐ Swami Sivananda 
    The keeping up of a daily spiritual diary is an indispensable requisite. A diary is a whip for goading the mind towards righteousness and God. The diary is your 
    teacher and guide. It is the eye‐opener. It will help you to destroy all your evil qualities and to be regular in your spiritual practices.  

    A big thief is hiding himself in your brain. He has snatched away your Atmic pearl. He is giving you immense worries and troubles. He is deluding you. The thief 
    is your mind. You must not be lenient towards him. You must crush him. You must kill him ruthlessly. There is no other sword sharper than this diary to kill 
    him. It checks his happy‐go‐lucky ways and destroys him eventually. All your daily mistakes will be corrected if you maintain daily spiritual diary. A good time 
    will come when you will be entirely free from anger, untruth, lust, etc. You will become a perfect man. 

    There is no other better friend and more faithful teacher or Guru than your diary. It will teach you the value of time. At the end of every month calculate the 
    total number of hours you have spent in Japa, study of religious books, Pranayama, Asanas, sleep, etc. Then you will be able to know how much time you are 
    spending for religious purposes. You have got every chance to increase the period of Japa, meditation, etc., gradually. If you maintain a daily diary properly 
    without any fault in any of the items you will not like to waste even a single minute unnecessarily. Then alone you will understand the value of time and how 
    it slips away.
