MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.191
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
BLISS-ABSOLUTE
Swami Sivananda Ananda is the Bliss of the Atman. Sat-Chit-Aananda is the nature of Brahman. There is no greater happiness than Ananda of the Atman. Ananda is self-delight, O Child of Immortality. Ananda is eternal Bliss of the Atman or the Absolute (Brahman). It is not an attribute of the Immortal Soul, the Substratum for everything. It is the essence of the Soul. It is the Supreme Essence of all essences, "Rasanam Rasatamah." When you enjoy an external object, O gentle devotee, you get pleasure; but it is not the case with the bliss of the Soul. There is neither enjoyer, nor enjoyed in the Bliss or Ananda or Self-realisation. Where there is no duality, who is to enjoy whom? .
Daily life is an opportunity provided for us to exercise the spirituality gained during our inner studies, reflection, japa and meditation. It is the testing ground, so that each day our progress is really ours. We have made it our own by having tested it, proven it and possessed it. Until it has been tested and proven, it is not our own, it does not become part of us.
Swami Chidanand.
Identify yourself with That which is everywhere. If it is everywhere, you are nowhere. Do you understand me? So who is meditating? That which is everywhere is meditating on itself. - Swami Krishnananda.
