MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION,47'
Tapas which is an adoration of God is different from austerities which merely subjugate the senses or restrain the mind from its normal operations. In an honest presenting of oneself before the Almighty, which is the greatest tapas, these operations automatically take place.

Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
A SAINT ON EARTH
Swami Sivananda
A saint is a god on earth. To him, the whole world is mere straw. To him, gold and stone are alike. To him, pleasure and pain are the same. A saint lives in God. He has realised God. He knows God. He has become God. He speaks of God. He shows the way to God. He is God-intoxicated. He is God Himself. He is one with God. Saints are God's agents on earth. God reveals Himself in a saint in His full glory, innite power, wisdom and bliss. The saints constitute a ladder for the pilgrims to the shrine of God. Wherever saints and sages stay even for a half-second, then and there are sacred places like Varanasi, Prayag, and Brindavan. A saint is a blessing on the earth.

Most problems for a seeker are due to negligence rather than willfulness, error rather than
sin, weakness rather than wickedness, foolishness rather than wantonness, as well as a lack of
vigilance and laxity in maintaining a certain minimal level of spiritual tone in one’s thinking,
feeling and living. Therefore, it is necessary to keep oneself keyed up to a certain condition of inner
tension—tension in the positive and desirable sense of the term, not in the negative sense. And this
essential tension is called tapasya; it is called determination; it is called resoluteness.
Therefore, go on progressing forward, onward, Godward, towards perfection and liberation,
always trusting in God, depending on Him, but, nevertheless, exerting with all heart, determination,
resoluteness and keen interest.
