MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 885

Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,


THE SIGNS OF GROWING WILL

Swami SivanandaThe source of all life, the source of all knowledge, is
Atman, your innermost Self. This Atman or supreme Soul is
transcendent, inexpressible, uninferable, unthinkable, indescribable,
the ever-peaceful, all-blissful. It is Omnipotent; the more you
reflect upon its infinite Strength, and the more you are conscious of
this inner Power of the Infinite in you, the greater is your
will-power.


Rest peacefully in your own Self or God. Surrender everything unto
Him. He will take complete charge of You.

- Swami Sivananda

So, we have to provide a way for the
guru
to give what he wishes to give. And that is through
guru-bhakti
, devotion, where there is no place for the ego. If the thought comes,
ìI have got great
guru-bhakti
,î then finished, that
bhakti
becomes cancelled, it is nullified.You yourself must
become the very embodiment of that love, that devotion. There should
be no awareness of some
being, some person having that quality of devotion. Then it becomes a
subtle spiritual ego. The very
purpose of the existence of the
guru
is to remove the separatist I-consciousness, the consciousness
of being a separate being or entity, and if
guru-bhakti
becomes a means of boosting and sustaining
that
abhimana
(ego),
ahamkara
(egoism), then it loses its purpose and becomes self-defeating.
