MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 884

Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,

THE SIGNS OF GROWING WILL

Swami Sivananda
Unruffled state of the mind, poise, cheerfulness, inner strength,
capacity to turn out difficult works, success in all undertakings,
power to influence people, a magnetic and dynamic personality;
magnetic aura on the face, sparkling eyes, steady gaze, powerful
voice, a magnanimous gait, unyielding nature, fearlessness, etc., are
some of the signs or symptoms that indicate that one's 'will' is
growing.


And that channel is called
guru-bhakti
. That is why the significant verse in the Svetasvatara
Upanishad:
ìyasya deve para bhaktih yatha deve tatha gurau, tasyaite
kathita hyarthah
prakasante mahatmanah
If you have supreme devotion to God and the same kind of devotion to
your
guru
, then to you, the essence, the subtle truths of the scriptures become
revealed.î Thus it is
that through
guru-bhakti
the
sadhaka
, the seeker, the disciple, creates an effective link, a
connection, a channel which enables the
guru
to share with the disciple what the
guru
has been
endowed with from God.
swami chidananda






The mind and the body get identified with each other, like fire and
iron in a red hot iron-ball, in such a way that thought cannot be
separated from object.
