MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.36
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
INSTANCES OF HUMAN DELUSION
Swami Sivananda
You go to the market in a bright Cadillac, have a peep at the cabaret, visit the Capital, then you step into a cafe with a smart gait, then on to a luxury store to buy a piece of gabardine cloth for a suit—oh yes! You have made none in all these forty days!—and then on your way back to home you see a funeral procession. This creates a sense of renunciation, a vague disgust for mundane things. But in a short time, this evaporates. How sad is one's plight when one loses one's property, when one gets an incurable disease, when the bank has failed, when one's son dies. But, even then one does not relinquish one's sinful conduct, one's leech-like tenacity for the 'Venetian show'! Practise eternal vigilance and introspection. Worship and meditate.
. BELIEF, FAITH, BEING AND DOING When food is withdrawn from our physical bodies, strength decreases, one feels weak, one is unable to exert. If food is stopped beyond a certain limit of time, starvation ensues. And if food is further withheld, starvation leads to death. But then, a person can fall ill, lose weight and become weak even when he is provided with the most nourishing food if he cannot digest and assimilate it. Even if his stomach can digest the food, if due to a diseased condition his intestines cannot assimilate it or absorb it, he will slowly starve unless he is fed through the veins. So, the essence of sustaining yourself physically by physical food lies in your ability to assimilate, to absorb, to take in and utilise the food that is given.

Swami Chidananda.
The waking world of space, time, objects and relations is similarly constituted as a manifestation of the Cosmic Mind, thus having no real objectivity in itself. Profound meditation in this way will lessen the intensity of a longing and attachment in respect of persons and things.
