MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1230
Radhe krishna,
Have A blessed day,
ATTENTION
Swami SivanandaAttention is steady application of the mind. It is the direction of the mental powers to a specific object with vigour and concentration. Attention strengthens the will. It is at the base of the will. Attention develops concentration. Attention leads to sure success. It is for want of attention that man meets with failures. The power of applying attention, steady and undissipated, to a single object is the sure mark of a superior genius. All learning, science and skill depend upon attention. Attention opens new worlds, heals diseases.
Aparoksha Gyana is direct knowledge obtained through Self-realisation. This is intuitional wisdom or Visesha Gyana.
- 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
to all. Therefore, every action should be done with proper examination.
