MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 103
PLEASURE AND PAIN
Swami Sivananda
God is not a thinking being, but pure Consciousness.
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day
PLEASURE AND PAIN
Swami Sivananda
Pleasure and pain are
relative terms. You can convert pleasure into pain and pain into
pleasure. Look into the defects of sensual life. Live in the company of
saints and sages. Study books which treat of Vairagya or dispassion such
as "Necessity for Sannyasa," "How to Get Vairagya," and "Vairagya
Mala." All the pleasure-giving sensual objects will give you pain now.
Develop endurance. 'Remember always, "Pain is the best silent teacher.
Pain is a blessing in disguise. Pain turns the mind towards God." Pain
will be a pleasure now. Milk gives pleasure to some and pain to others.
The fourth cup of milk causes retching or vomiting. If there is real
pleasure in milk, all should experience a homogeneous pleasure as in
deep sleep.
- Swami Sivananda
So, faith and belief are the twin wings, as it were, of the bird of your spirit. Faith and belief
are the two legs that have to take you to your destination. Faith and belief are the left and right hands
that can enable you to achieve anything, take up any task and do it. Faith and belief are like the two
eyes that enable a person to see correctly, wholly, with the right perspective. Faith and belief are the
indispensable twin factors that succeed in making you what you wish to become-deep faith, deep
belief.
