MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1086
WISDOM OF YOGA
Swami SivanandaThat which is real for the worldly-minded people is illusion for the Sage. Atma is a non-entity for a worldly man. The world is a non-entity for a Saga. The Yogi performs what is ordinarily disgusting work very joyfully. He is not elated by success. He is cheerful in adversity. He is indifferent to censure and praise. The Yogi is a master of thought and ruler of emotion. He enjoys inward calm, serenity and peace amidst all vicissitudes of life. Yoga means perfect harmony, balance, equipoise and purity. Wisdom dawns when the intellect has stretched its end.
Do not forget the inner ruler who is awake even when the mental factory is closed down temporarily. Purify the mind. Practise concentration. Develop the power of the mind. Eventually you will merge with Him.
And the more you grow into that God-nature, the more it becomes awakened, unfolded, infills you,
becomes active within you, the more you are progressing in the spiritual life, the more you are
ascending towards the ultimate experience. That is the touchstone.
Swami Chidananda.
