THE THREE-PRONGED METHOD

Swami Sivananda

When an evil thought harasses the mind, the best method of conquering
it is by ignoring it. How can we ignore an evil thought? By forgetting
it. How can we forget? By not indulging in it again, and also by not
brooding over it. How can we prevent the mind from indulging in it
again or brooding over it? By thinking of something very interesting,
something sublime and inspiring. Ignoring, Forgetting, Thinking, of
something inspiring,—these three constitute the great Sadhana for
establishing mastery over evil thoughts.


Ignorance is a dire disease. Raga-dwesha is an awful disease Egoism is
a terrible disease. Attachment is a formidable disease. Birth and
death is a fatal disease. The only remedy for all these diseases is
AtmaJnana(Self Knowledge).

- Swami Sivananda

The
guru
thus becomes the linking factor, a channel for putting the wandering, lost
jivatma
,
the individual Soul, back into contact with its source, God, the
Universal Soul. And just as the
guru
is a channel for the
jivatma
to re-link itself with the
paramatma
, even so, if we can create a channel
between ourselves and our
guru
, then that channel will become the effecting means of receiving
from the
guru guru-kripa
, all that the
guru
is the knowledge of the
guru
, the sanctity of the
guru
,
the purity of the
guru
, the spirituality of the
guru
.swami chidananda
