MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION1205
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
OBEDIENCE
Swami SivanandaFrom obedience springs all other virtues. True obedience neither procrastinates nor questions. Obedience is the mother of success, and is wedded to safety. Let your child's first lesson be obedience. Wicked men obey from fear; good men obey from love. Command is anxiety. Obedience is ease. Goodness is a river that flows from the lotus feet of the Lord by the path of obedience. If the heart is not satisfied, obedience is not truly performed by the body.
Learn to live. Learn to discriminate. Learn to give. Learn to look within. Learn to introspect. If you wish to understand others, introspect and look within your own heart.
- Swami Sivananda
Broad Principles In Yoga
What are those broad principles? Truthfulness, compassion, purity—these are the broad
things which have to cover our entire life down to the minutest details. A Sadhaka cannot afford to
forget this detailed living of divine life, and his whole life, at least in the beginning, should be
characterised by restraint. He should restrain his tongue. Do not think that you can eat anything and
meditate well. If a Sadhaka thinks that he can eat anything and meditate, he is deceiving himself.
Yoga is not a toy, which you can easily take and play with. It is an iron-fort lodging well-equipped
soldiers. Yoga is not an easy thing, though saints say that Yoga is easy in order to make it attractive
