MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 894

Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,

SUBSTRATUM

Swami Sivananda

Ether is the substratum for air. Sand-bed is the substratum for the
river. Canvas is the substratum for the pictures. Foundation is the
substratum for the building. Bone is the substratum for the body. Wood
is the substratum for chairs and benches. Even so Brahman or the
Eternal or the Absolute Is the substratum for the world, body and
mind. Substratum is Adhishthana.



To behold the one self in all is JNANA YOGA. To love the Self in all
is BHAKTI YOGA. To serve the Self in all is KARMA YOGA.

- Swami Sivananda

And one disciple was asked to irrigate the
guruís
fields. He had to let the water into the
fields and make sure that it did not leak out. After working the whole
day, one evening he
discovered a leak in one of the earthen walls. He tried to plug it
with some clay. It kept leaking. He
tried all methods to repair it, and finally not knowing what else to
do, he decided to plug it with his
own body. So he lay down, curled himself into a ball and stopped the
leak. After nightfall, when he
had not returned, the
guru
became anxious and so with several of his disciples went searching for
him. Finally they found him in his curled up position stopping the leak.
