MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.185
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
WHO AM I?
Swami Sivananda Ahamkara is a product of the intellect. It is also perishable. The "I" cannot be applied to the Jiva which moves Ahamkara. It is of the nature of action and Prana. It rests in the heart. It is only a reflection. Hence the Jiva is not "I". The causal body or Karana-Sarira is not "I." It is composed of Samskaras and Vasanas. It is inert and perishable. It is finite. The real, infinite "I" is your own Innermost Atman or Soul. It is the support or substratum for the physical body senses, mind, intellect, Prana, the causal body and the Jiva. This Atman is Brahman or the Absolute. It is Sat-Chit-Ananda. It is all-pervading, self-luminous, indivisible, all-full, eternal, self-contained, ever-pure, ever-full. It is non-attached. It is non-doer, non-enjoyer. It is silent Witness. Even the seeming negative factors—which in our lesser human-nature-based and biased perception appear to be so many obstacles, problems and impeding factors hampering our progress—will suddenly be seen as valuable occasions and opportunities for us. They are to be made use of. They are chances given to test ourselves. They are neither to be suffered, nor borne, nor endured, but they are to be understood and made use of for our benefit, our highest good. Swami Chidananda The object of meditation is the degree of reality aligned to our state of being. This is a sentence which may appear like an aphorism. We have to meditate only on that which is the exact counterpart of our present level of knowledge and comprehension. - Swami Krishnananda.
