MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.34
Radhe Krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
VAGARIES OF SPIRITUAL AMBITIONS
Swami Sivananda
In this group Mahatmas either they paid undue attention to their wants or completely ignored their health. They all thought much of the future and aspired for Siddhis, miracles, name and fame. That only fattened their ego. A deep study of the ways of Mahatmas opened my eyes and gave me strength to stick to rigorous Sadhana in the right direction. I felt the Grace of the Lord. I derived strength and guidance from within. I found ways for an all-round development. I had the goal of my life as Self-realisation and determined to spend every bit of my energy and time in study, service and Sadhana.
Be kind and compassionate. Be pure and gentle. Be sweet and loving. Be humble. Be sympathetic. Be friendly to the poor. Live with them. Serve them. Cheer them up when they are in difficulties. Be simple in your life. Behold the Self in all. Give up the idea of diversity. Have equal vision for all.
- Swami Sivananda.

Let that not be your fate: to live in folly and regret at the end. Therefore, heed the call to
“Arise, awake, become enlightened.” There is no other way of proving your worth, proving your
mettle, proving what stuff you are made of. Are you made of steel or made of straw?
If we call ourselves sadhakas, spiritual people, if we really believe that we are children of
Immortality, amritasya putrah, then it should be proved by the doing— by our living—not just with
our lips.
Life does not stand still. If you grasp time by the forelock and utilise it, it is yours.
Otherwise, it is not yours; it is finished. Life is not a thing to be idled away, to be allowed to go by in
daydreaming and fanciful imaginations. It is something to be grasped with both hands and utilised.
Understand this very clearly. Then alone you will be the builder of a glorious future for
yourself. Then alone you will be the designer of your highest welfare. May God help you do it! May
Gurudev’s perennial inspiration enable you to progress higher, upward and Godward day by day!
Swami Chidananda.
