MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1143
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
NATURE OF BRAHMAN
Swami SivanandaSelf-awareness is an experience, and something should result as the outcome of experience, and this is Bliss Absolute. Therefore, Experience-Whole or Self-awareness is Bliss Absolute. No real bliss is possible without consciousness or knowledge. Brahman is the ultimate shore of ocean of Samsara. He is pure and perfect knowledge. He is illimitable. The Absolute Reality is immanent and immutable. It is the illuminator of intellect and everything. The Pure Being is pure Knowledge and pure Bliss. The transcendent Reality is a being eternally conscious. He is timeless self-existence. The shadow exists because of the substance and light. Reality is hidden by the shadow.
Realisation of the identity of the individual soul with the Supreme Soul eradicates ignorance and all miseries of earthly life.
- Swami Sivananda
Mind immediately takes advantage of even the least sign of weakness in the aspirant. It is
like a tiger crouching on its haunches about to spring. Swamiji exmplifies in his life the ceaseless
and ever-alert vigilance against the sudden onslaught of Samskaras. He is a model to all, even to
highly advanced aspirants—in his avoidance of the proximity of women. Devotees, many a time,
seek to touch his feet while prostrating; never does he allow this to happen. No touch of a feminine
hand is allowed, be it that of a real devotee even.
You might have read about a class-mate of Swami Vivekananda, a remarkable young man, a
monk of great renunciation and determination, who after years of admirable self-control, Nishkama
Seva, finally became hopelessly entangled in a woman’s wiles. Swami Turiyananda has cited this
example in one of his intimate talks with Sadhakas.
Swami Chidananda.
