PESSIMISM

Swami Sivananda

Pessimism is a temper of mind that looks too much on the darker side of things. It is the doctrine that the whole world is bad rather than good. It is a depressing view of life. The Vedantins, though they say that the world is unreal, are wonderful optimists. They talk of dispassion to create a taste in the minds of people for the immortal, blissful life in God, and a distaste for the worthless materialistic life in this world. The opposite of pessimism is optimism. It always looks on to the bright side of the picture. A pessimist is ever gloomy and depressed, lazy and lethargic. Cheerfulness is unknown to him. He infects others. Pessimism is like an epidemic and infectious disease. A pessimist cannot get success in this world. Become a powerful optimist and rejoice. Try to be cheerful under any condition of life.

Mind is more turbulent than wind, more mischievous than monkey, more subtle than ether, more powerful than all the armies of the world put together. Control of the mind is conquest of nature, which immediately

leads

to Self-realisation. - Swami Sivananda All men are, by nature, equal. One Atman dwells in all beings. Man is the trinity of body, mind and soul. Consciousness is veiled by mind and matter. Therefore he is not able to realise his essential Divine nature. To know one’s essential nature and realise one’s own Divinity is the fulfilment of the mission of this human life.
