Do not be idle. Engage yourself in some useful, interesting work at your leisure hours, as for example, take part in some useful social activities. On Sundays, instead of going to a picture, you can assist the Bharat Sevak Samaj, the Ramakrishna Mission, the Divine Life Society, or any other philanthropic institution of your town; or, create a new field of public work. Cultivate the spirit of Yoga. Instil interest in your work. Serve selflessly. Serve without attachment, but do not be irresponsible. Serve unostentatiously. Serve for the good of others. Serve for the good of your heart.

Purify your thoughts through love, celibacy, kindness, non-injury, prayer and meditation.

- Swami Sivananda

God is the Inner Ruler. He goads the body, mind and senses to work. Become an instrument
in the hands of the Lord. Do not expect thanks or appreciation of your work. Do actions as your duty
and offer them and their fruits to the Lord. You will be freed from the bonds of Karma. Your heart
will soon be purified.

DIET:

Swami Sivananda

Avoid pungent, hot dishes. Take light, nutritious, simple vegetarian food, but do not be a faddist. Adjust yourself to circumstances. Avoid heavy and late night meals. Do not eat now and then. A celibate really needs very little food. Over-eating is a kind of passion. Past completely once a fortnight. Have partial fasting once a week. Extrovert Tendency: When you keep yourself busy, you do not harbour impure thoughts. When you rest and leave the mind blank, impure thoughts try to enter insidiously.

Blessed Atman, sincerely and diligently try to live the Divine Life according to the teachings of Holy Master. Be truthful and pure. Give up anger. See good in all. Do not have dislike for any creature. Develop equal vision and universal love. The entire world is an expression of God. Swami Chidananda  Do not keep anything which you will be afraid of showing to others. Do not do anything which you would not like others to know. - Swami Krishnananda  Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY. https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-great-truth-you-are-divine.html

SAMSKARAS

Swami Sivananda

You may ask the reason why you become sometimes angry. Anger is nothing but a manifestation of ungratified lust. You are still far from being established in Pratyahara. Rajas and Tamas are very much manifest in your actions. Do not deceive yourself. A fanciful interest in the spiritual path is of no use. Resignation to face or remaining static will be pernicious in the long run. You will repent later. Start vigorous Sadhana now! Positive overcomes negative. Love overcomes anger and irritability. Courage overcomes fear. A Sattvic life overcomes a Tamasic life. Therefore, make best use of the positive to overcome the negative.

Abandon greed of wealth; love of sensual pleasure, lust for power. These are three great obstructions in the spiritual path.

- Swami Sivananda

Spirituality means growing into the form of your Divine Ideal. It is the transformation of
your nature from human to Divine. This is brought about by Abhyasa, spiritual practice of Sadhana
and Vairagya leading to renunciation.

SAMSKARAS

Swami Sivananda

By not repeating such actions as would intensify the old, negative tendencies you are trying to combat, a great deal of success can be attained in smoothening out evil Samskaras. Prayer, fasting, chanting elevating Slokas and the Name of the Lord, and systematic practice of concentration and meditation are, of course, the most important aids. Relentless effort to live a spiritual life is very necessary. The angle of vision has to be changed. The mind must be disciplined. Regular Sadhana should keep the mind always clean. Introspect and scrutinise your motives. The crosscurrents of like and dislike are yet very strong within you. The senses are still ungovernable. There are secret longings and veiled desires. Vrittis are powerful. Lustful impulses are lurking within.

Keep close to God. Work will go on anyhow. But your concern should be even in work to
keep close to God. The glorious Name of Sri Rama, the radiant awareness of His Presence, the
sweet remembrance of Him always, these make life Divine. Herein is peace in the midst of turmoil.
Herein is balance in the midst of distractions, joy in seeming sorrow, eternal life even in the midst of
death, fullness in the midst of imperfection. This is a secret only His children know. No others can
understand this, even if it is declared to them. Therefore, wisdom is in having it and being silent. If
and when the time comes it will declare itself by itself to those who are to know it
Swami Chidananda

The force of volition that is exerted in self-restraint is really like the dynamo that generates the power, without which the vehicle of spiritual practice will not move.

W TO OVERCOME EVIL THOUGHTS

Swami Sivananda

But what, then, should be done at the spur of the moment. If some wrong is done to you, you can never reconcile your mind by at once trying to think of forgiveness. It will be repulsive and the attempt will be a failure. First control violent emotions by withdrawing the mind within and dissociating yourself from the cause and immediate environment. Meditate on the attributes of the Lord, or draw out your attention to a new, interesting realm. Study the lives of great saints. Then take recourse to autosuggestion. Ponder over the chain-reaction of the veil of revenge and meditate on the glory and peace of forgiveness.

Make a habit of cheerfulness and always keep an optimistic outlook on life. See the brighter side of things and instead of cursing the thorns, give thanks for the rose.

HOW TO OVERCOME EVIL THOUGHTS

Swami Sivananda

Why evil thoughts arise in mind? How are they to be encountered? The very fact that evil thoughts give you mental suffering is a sign of spiritual progress; for many do not have that much of sensitiveness. To some it is very difficult to keep the mind unruffled and pure, the causes being deep-rooted worldly Samskaras, unfavourable surroundings, and the predominance of extrovert tendencies. To some, of course, evil thoughts are not a problem at all. They appear occasionally as a passing phase without doing much havoc. Watch your mind very carefully. Be vigilant. Be on the alert. Do not allow the waves of irritability, jealousy, hatred and lust to disturb you. These dark waves are enemies of peaceful living, meditation and wisdom.

There is nothing more elevating and sublime than to be a witness to the living Divine
Presence in all beings and to strive to awaken that consciousness in others too
Swami Chidananda

One′s highest duty consists in the struggle for the attainment of this knowledge b

  

y which one gets unified with the all-pervading Absolute Being.

HOW TO CONTROL ANGER Swami Sivananda Observe silence for two hours daily and six hours on Sundays. Occasionally observe silence for a whole day. This will put a check on the impulses of irritability. The vital breath (life-principle) entwines the mind like a creeper. Control of this life-principle leads to the control of the mind. Practice of control of breath will put a check on the impulse of speech. It will give you abundant energy to control anger. If you look into the defects of anger and benefits of patience, you will never become angry. The combined practice of these methods will enable you to control anger and bestow upon you spiritual strength, peace and happiness The success in meditation depends upon the degree to which we develop our love for God. The more we love God, the more our attention is attracted towards Him. The more we feel this attraction, the more we enjoy our meditation. - Swami Chidananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama RAM RAM HARE HARE HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2020/07/recognise-your-true-nature-chidananda141.html

HOW TO CONTROL ANGER

Swami Sivananda

Anger destroys all spiritual merits in a person. It is all-consuming and all-polluting; it is a great enemy of peace, and a direct gateway to hell. A spiritual aspirant must control anger if he wishes to progress in his path and attain happiness. One who has controlled anger is verily a great man. He is very happy. Develop patience to a considerable extent. People lose their temper when they become impatient. Allow the mind to dwell constantly on the opposite virtue of anger—patience. Try to control first the small ripple of irritability when it arises in the subconscious mind. Nip it in the bud. Do not allow it to assume the big form of a wave.

The aim of life is to avoid misery and attain Eternal Bliss. Birth in this world is inseparably connected with misery. If you wish to avoid misery, pain and sorrow, you must avoid rebirth. Knowledge of Brahman is the only means of avoiding rebirth.

- Swami Sivananda

 Goodness is love in action. It is noble to be good. Goodness is the greatest virtue. Every
good deed is a grain of seed for immortality or eternal life. Goodness makes life a blessing.
Goodness will bring sure success and prosperity. To be good is human. To be good is divine.
