MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.44
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO AFTER RETIREMENT
Swami Sivananda
When one has successfully finished his duties as a householder, when his sons are all fixed up in life, when the daughters are given in marriage, he should devote the remaining years of his life in spiritual pursuits, study of religious literature and divine contemplation. Many people have no definite ideas as to what they are going to do (after retirement). After retirement from active service, they take to some other avocation. They are still greedy. Till the end of life, they count money and entertain thoughts of grand children and great grandchildren. Pitiable is the lot of these men indeed! Blessed is he, who spends the whole time in study and meditation in a solitary place after retirement from service.
Translate what you are into your daily activity. Never put much interval between what you have become due to your firm faith and belief and acting it out. What you are, that you must do. Otherwise, a condition will arise when faith, belief and what you have become due to faith and belief becomes a static condition, not a dynamic and progressive condition. There is stagnation, arrested movement, no action. You get stuck. If you maintain the status quo having attained the highest and ultimate, it is all right, it is in the fitness of things. But, if you maintain the status quo in the middle of the way, you deprive yourself of the supreme, crowning glory of the highest attainment and achievement

Every event is a cosmic event; every baby is a child of the whole cosmos. It belongs to the universe. Everyone belongs to the universe—myself, yourself, all people.
