MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.29
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
SELF-RESTRAINT AND SERENITY
Swami Sivananda
When anger is overcome your understanding becomes clear, and discrimination is active. You are enabled to choose between right and wrong. You proceed without confusion upon the straight narrow path of moral rectitude. Do not cause pain or suffering to any living being from greed, selfishness, irritability, or annoyance. Give up anger or ill-will. Give up the spirit of fighting. Try your level best to keep a serene mind always. Be serene and tranquil under all circumstances. The divine light will descend on a calm mind only. An aspirant with a calm mind only can enter into deep meditation and Nirvikalpa Samadhi. He only can practice Nishkamya Karma Yoga. .
Bhakti transmutes animal nature into Divine Nature and raises him to the pinnacle of Divine glory and splendour. May you develop Bhakti so that it will lead you to attain Godhead or Self-Realisation in this very life! May the spiritual flame grow brighter in you!
- Swami Sivananda.

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: “When 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.” And here what you have to rescue is your own nija svarupa (true
nature) from the clutches of desire and maya.
These great teachings should not go to waste. Are they all to be cries in the wilderness? Are
they to be in vain? They will all be in vain if our mind is only intent upon petty sense pleasures. In
his Gitanjali, Rabindranath Tagore compares this to children playing upon the shores of the sea of
life, gathering shells, building sandcastles, and never thinking of the invaluable pearls that lie in the
depth. And what will happen at the end of the day? The shells will be left and the sandcastles swept
away by the tide.
