ESSENCE OF THE GITA
Swami Sivananda
The delights that are contact-born, are verily wombs of pain, for they have a beginning and an end; not in them rejoice the wise. Sit on Padma Asana or Siddha Asana or Sukha Asana. Keep the head, neck, and the trunk in a straight line. Close your eyes. Withdraw the senses. Fix the mind on the space between the eyebrows. Little by little attain tranquillity. Make the mind dwell on the Atman. Do not think of anything. Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer, whatever you give, whatever austerity you do, do it as an offering unto the Lord. Contd….

Read the Gita more diligently. Meditate on the meaning of the Lord’s words. You will have quick evolution.

- Swami Sivananda.

Therefore faith, this belief, that makes the work authentic, genuine, effective and fruitful. They  cannot be divorced. They mutually supplement and support each other. It is an art and a science.

 Faith, trust and devotion are an art, an inner state, a state that is a manifestation of that within you which is already divine. And effort, sadhana, is a science that may seemingly be undivine. It is through the body, the mind, the intellect, the emotions, through certain techniques and processes. It seems to be very much on this relative plane. But when linked together with this inner divine force, the principle of faith, sraddha, knowledge is obtained. Sraddhavan labhate jnanam (The man who is full of faith obtains knowledge).

Swami Chidananda.
