MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1140
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
BENEFITS OF MORAL CHARACTER
Swami SivanandaThe practice of endurance, steadfastness, control of senses, and other 'purificatory actions' aim In making a man self-supporting, independent and free from bondage, physical, social and personal. Virtuous acts, nobility, generosity, charity, benevolence, acts of mercy, practice of truthfulness, continence, and non-injury sharpen the mind. Practise pure love, truthfulness and self-restraint. Your mental powers will increase and your physical wellbeing will be improved.
All desires are annihilated for anything here or in the hereafter. At this juncture we are given
a startling revelation. We find that at the top of this great renunciation comes another vow. For, the
monk declares: “I will not cause fear to any being.” The monk gives the promise of absolute
fearlessness to all creatures, whereby no living being need fear of any harm from him. By this he
pledges himself to Visva-Prema or universal love. For, fear can exist only where harm or pain is
forthcoming, and the latter are manifest only where hatred or animosity is present. But where love
becomes enshrined, only loving service and joy flow forth and all creatures may fearlessly partake
of it with perfect assurance and confidence. Such universal love and service are therefore the
spontaneous offshoots of Mahatyaga or supreme abandonment of selfishness. Therefore these two
great and sublime elements of Tyaga, i.e., abandonment of desires for name, fame and reward, and
Seva, i.e., service to the sick, poor and needy—constitute the sublime elements in the spirit of
Sannyasa. Tyaga is for Atmasakshatkara or Self-realisation. Therefore service and Self-realisation
form the lofty twin impulses that move in the life of a true Sannyasin taking him towards the
attainment of the highest consciousness of Truth Absolute

When you physically act but mentally are not connected with that action, that is inaction in action; when you physically are not doing but you are mentally active, that is action in inaction.
