MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1173
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
MEANS TD UNIVERSAL WELFARE
Swami SivanandaThe most elusive thing in this world is peace or happiness. The only true happiness is the bliss of the soul or Atma. Non-aggression and mutual co-operation pacts will lead to the attainment of lasting peace in the world. Democracy can be maintained only through peaceful means. There is need for cathol city and tolerance among the people of different faiths. Then alone there will be peace in the world. Blessed is the peace-maker who manufactures a life belt which will save humanity from being drowned in the choppy sea of confusion and strife. Work with determination. Strive resolutely for the establishment of peace on earth.
Subjugate the senses. Slay the egoism. Curb the mind and enter the illimitable domain of immortal bliss.
- Swami Sivananda
In what way shall we be able to propagate the Sadhu-life, the life of divine quest, and what
can we practically do in our own walk of life to awaken more and more people to the greatest
sublimity of this life of seeking after God? Sadhus form a class diametrically opposite to the
“normal man” of the world. If the man of the world holds a certain thing as desirable, the seeker
looks upon it as something more insignificant than dust. What is pleasurable to the worldly man is
extremely painful to the seeker. What the man of the world regards as necessary for life, the seeker
regards as the greatest obstacle to real progress. And, in the very conception of progress even, the
two are totally opposed to each other. If this is true, then the Sadhu must be a misfit in the world! To
some extent it is true. But the real Sadhu is not a total misfit. The Sadhus’ community forms only a
minority in the world. A Sadhu has got tremendous amount of adaptability. He knows that God
