MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1117
VEDANTIC QUALIFICATIONS
Swami SivanandaControl of desires and Vasanas is called inner control (Shama). Control of the external senses is called outer control (Dama). Bear the suffering of life boldly without complaint. This is called endurance (Titiksha). Turning away from the objects of the senses is called withdrawal (Uparati). Have faith in the Reality, in the teachings of the Srutis. This is Sraddha. Have contentment, freedom from doubts and mental equipoise. This is Samadhana. "O Lord, when and how shall I be freed from the bondage of this illusory Samsara? " When this aspiration becomes intense, then it is called Mumukshutwa, strong yearning for liberation.
You must have the determination that no matter how much the mind pulls in the wrong direction, you will not succumb.
