BE GOOD-DO GOOD
Swami Sivananda
The whole ethics and conduct is contained in this. Goodness implies Kindness, benevolence and mortality. Virtue follows goodness. It is an act of benevolence, compassion and mercy. A good man is ever happy. He always lives with God. He has divinity within him. Do all the good you can, to all people at all times, with all zeal, strength, love and heart. Cultivate good habits. Goodness is a habit. Goodness of nature is an inclination. Without goodness man is a brute or vermin. He is mischievous, wretched, despicable thing on this Holy earth. Goodness makes life a blessing. Goodness will bring sure success and prosperity.….

This means that we have to have a deep desire, subheccha, to put  whatever we have been granted to the highest use, to do all that is necessary—unreservedly, without hesitation, without laziness or lethargy—to labour hard, to provide it with that triggering factor, and to do all that is necessary to bring out what it is capable of bringing out. And this body, this human personality is a field capable of producing a rich golden harvest provided we diligently work upon it and put to the highest and best use whatever it has received.

 This should be our objective. But then, we must be fully aware of one significant fact about this field which our body, mind, intellect and personality constitute and that is that it is neutral, it is amoral. It is neither good nor bad, neither daivic nor asuric. It is there. It has potential to produce. What this potential for producing will give you depends upon what you put into it, how you utilise it, the way in which you deal with it, the way you activate it. It is like your echo. Whatever you call out, good or bad, comes back to you. Whatever you create is what you have.

Swami Chidannanda.

The contemplation of the Absolute is the highest form any religion can take. But this enterprise of the mind requires of it an understanding of the universal situation far beyond normal human comprehension. The popular minds of the masses need a religion they can appreciate and absorb into their daily life, and they demand a religious goal which they can intelligibly plant in the soil of their feelings.
