MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 224
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
THINK OF THE OPPOSITE
Swami SivanandaThere are other methods of displacing or dislocating the Negative feeling by substituting the opposite, the Positive feeling and within a short time the undesirable feeling vanishes. Yes, likewise other negative feelings can also be treated as follows: When in Think of Anger – LOVE, Harshness of the Heart – Mercy, Lust ... ADVANTAGES OF CELIBACY, Dishonesty ... Honesty, Jealousy ... NOBILITY, Infatuation ... DISCRIMINATION, Pride ... ... Humility, Hypocrisy ... FRANKNESS and its advantages, Timidity ... Courage, Hatred ... AFFECTION, and so on. Hence, always be careful in the selection of companions and talk little and that too on useful matters. Even the gods envy those who are virtuous, who practise meditation, who are dispassionate and discriminative who are wise and illumined. - Swami Sivananda.
DISCRIMINATION
One of the basic ways to begin the study of Vedanta is with theVivekachudamani,the CrestJewel of Discrimination, by Sri Sankara, in which he sought to introduce the sadhaka to theVedantic method of discrimination between the Reality and the appearance, the eternal and thenon-eternal, the permanent and the fleeting, the Spirit and that which is non-Spirit.
Swami Chidannanda.
