MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.84
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
LORD DATTATREYA AND HIS 24 GURUS
Swami Sivananda
8. I once saw a pair of pigeons with their young birds. A fowler spread a net and caught the young birds. The mother pigeon was very much attached to her children. She fell into the net and was caught. From this I have learnt that attachment is the root cause of earthly bondage. 9. The python does not move about for its food. It remains contented with whatever it gets, lying in one place. From this I learnt to be unmindful of food and to be contented with whatever I get to eat. 10. Just as the ocean remains unmoved,even though hundreds of rivers flow into it, so also the wise man should remain unmoved among all the various sorts of temptations, difficulties and troubles. 11. To control the sense of sight and to fix the mind on the Self, is the lesson I learnt from the moth.

God’s beauty is love and His love is supreme beauty.

Many years ago, to make us understand with what keenness, with what great sense of
urgency one should engage in practical spiritual life, Gurudev wrote: ìWhen your house is on fire,
how courageously, how daringly, without caring for anything, you will plunge into the house and
rescue that which is precious.î And here what you have to rescue is your own
nija svarupa
(true
nature) from the clutches of desire and
maya
.Swami Chidananda.
