MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1205
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
CALL TO IMMORTALITY
Swami SivanandaFive veils cover this Atma. In other words, you will have to pass through the five compartments formed by the five Koshas if you want to get at the jewel of Atma. If you are equipped with the four-fold discipline viz., Viveka, Vairagya, Shad-Sampat and Mumukshuktwa, you will be able to make an enquiry into Brahman. If you have proper ethical training only, you will be able to practise deep meditation. If you possess moral qualification, you will be able to comprehend the deep truths of Vedanta. If you have moral stamina only, you will be eligible to approach Brahman or the Absolute. Ethical discipline is an indispensable pre-requisite to the study of Vedanta. You can be a wonderful scientist or a philosopher of great repute without any moral qualification but you cannot be a student of Vedanta without ethical perfection.
If the mind conjures beauty and goodness, then the mind see the World as so. Behold God in everything you see and sense. You will then see good everywhere. You will then find Peace.
- Swami Sivananda
It is due to the gross misunderstanding and antagonism to our spiritual heritage that a period
of sloth and degeneracy has come over us. No doubt, a great part of this unfortunate spiritual
stalemate is due to the prejudiced, unsound and selfish interpretations of our scriptures by a class of
Pundits who thrived on the innocent faith and religious fervour of our countrymen. But surely it
cannot be denied that the modern, westernised man is equally responsible for this degeneracy due to
his utter ignorance of his heritage due to his blunt, shallow and clouded vision to seek the right in a
conglomeration of opposite currents, due to his apish antagonism and his vainglorious worship of
alien ideals. There can be no real service, no real social work, no real philanthropy, no real
patriotism, no real national growth, without the true spirit of renunciation. Renunciation is strength
Supreme. Hence it is the central ideal of our race.
