 MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1107

Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

PRACTICE OF YOGA

Swami Sivananda

The aspirant should have a calm and quite mind. He should practise constant, protracted and profound meditation. Then alone he will have success in Yoga. The Raja Yogi is not inactive. He is tremendously active in the mental plane. Whereas that man who runs hither and thither and who is always very busy, may hardly do anything substantial, the Yogi, though sitting still, through his powerful will may work wonders. Yoga begins with self-discipline and purification. It progresses through balance of mind and Paropakara (doing good to others). It culminates in Self-realization.

It is only through selfless activities, unattached work and loving service that one can acquire the precious gems of purity, patience and humility.

- Swami Sivananda

(2) Vigilance: The past Samskaras are like dormant forces and coiled-up potential energies
which sometimes assume violent forms and produce tremendous agitation in the mind, totally
confuse and bewilder it and make it assume the very forms of desires. This is called Vishayakara
Vritti.
So vigilance must be resorted to. No amount of leniency should be given to the mind.
Swami Chidananda,
