MESSAGE FORCONTEMPLATIN.31
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
ADHYASA (SUPERIMPOSITION)
Swami Sivananda
Just as the motion etc., of water is superimposed on the reflection of the moon in the water, so also agency etc., that belongs to the limiting adjunct—mind—is superimposed on account of ignorance on the Atman. Passion, desires, happiness, misery etc., exercise their functions during waking and dreaming states only when the intellect is present and are not present in deep sleep, when intellect is absent. They, therefore, belong to the intellect and not to the Atman. As light is the very nature of the sun, coldness of water, heat or fire, so are Satchitananda (Existence, Knowledge, Bliss) Nitya and Nirmalatwa (eternity and purity) the very nature of the self.
Lust for power, material greed, sensual excitement, selfishness, passion, passion for wealth and the lower appetites have drawn man from his true life in Spirit into the materialistic life. He can regain his lost Divine glory if he practises in right earnest the principles of Bhakti.

Will your life be like that? Will you spend your whole life in puerility, childishness, running
after petty things? Consider this! Answer! What is your response to the great question: “What does
it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his spiritual life?” What is your answer? Are we
responding?
When someone strikes the hour in the Bhajan Hall verandah, does your heart tremble? One
more hour has gone; my life has become depleted. Do you even hear the bells, let alone ponder over
it, reflect over it? So much is our pramada, so much is our preoccupation with little things that we
do not know what is happening. We are not aware. We do not know that days are passing, that with
each sunset one more day has gone.
Swami Chidananda.
