Radhe krishna, Have a blessed day,

PRELIMINARIES OF SADHNA Swami Sivananda The greedy, lustful and egoistic man who is a follower of the philosophy of flesh, who worships the body as the Atma cannot be a successful Sadhaka. He whose intellect is obscured by the delusion caused by the pairs of the opposites (Raga and Dwesha) will have to struggle hard to progress in the path. He who meditates constantly without allowing the mind to wander in the grooves of sensual objects, who is ever alert and intent on attaining his objective, who is devoted to God and Guru, is sure to reach the goal. He who is full of faith, who constantly serves his Guru and hears his teachings, who has subdued the senses, surely attains the eternal knowledge and the supreme peace of the Brahman. They never proclaimed anything as a conclusion of mere intellectual activity and labour of the thinking faculty but they did so on the basis of the profound authority of direct intuitional realisation of the Absolute. So whatever these ancient sages and Rishis have proclaimed in the Upanishads, it is from their direct experience in the core of their inmost spiritual being. They did not care to adduce any argument in their support or to induce acceptance. They just stated boldly what they KNEW AS TRUTH. And what is it that they have declared? It is “O children of Immortality! Ye are not the perishable physical body Nor the ever-changing mind, nor the reasoning intellect. But ye are the master of all these, The supreme conscious-Being, the unattached witnessing Spirit or Atman beyond the reach of the mind and the intellect, Different and distinct from body, mind and intellect. Realise this fact and live in the awareness of your true Spirit.” Swami Chidananda Only that which does not change can know that there is change. - Swami Krishnananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY. https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/03/asserting-selfchidananda-talk25.html
