MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1162
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
ADVICE TO SANNYASINS
Swami SivanandaSannyasins, however exalted they may be in spirituality, should not eat meat, eggs, etc., and should not take tobacco, Ganja and opium. They should not smoke also. If they do so, they set up a very bad example to the public. They should lead an ideal exemplary life and advice the householders to give up meat, eggs, etc. Mind always imitates. If the Guru eats one pound of meat daily, the disciple will eat five pounds daily. "Yatha Guru Tatha Sishyal"— "Just as the Guru is, so is the disciple. " Sannyasa is sterner stuff, indeed. Comfortable Sannyasa is very dangerous. It is no Sannyasa at all. All the rules prescribed for Sannyasins in the Narada-Parivrajaka-Upanishad should be rigidly followed by Sannyasins. Then only they can shine as true ideal Sannyasins. Then only they can set an example to the householders. Glory to the true, ideal Sannyasin, who leads an exemplary life! This world is in dire need of true, ideal Sannyasins who will serve the country and humanity with Atma Bhava and disseminate Self-knowledge and Bhakti, far and wide. May Sannyasins, the repositories of divine knowledge, the torch-bearers of Truth, the beacon light of this world, the corner-stones of spiritual edifice and the central pillars of the eternal Dharmas of religion, guide the different nations of the world.
Inner urge towards the spiritual life and the heart’s desire to draw closer unto and commune
with the Supreme is a gift from God. It is a practical expression of Grace.
Peace is a divine attribute. It is a quality of the Soul or Atman. It is found only in the pure
heart. Real inner Peace is independent of external conditions. By feeling the Lord’s presence
everywhere, you can become fearless, and enjoy infinite peace and bliss

Tapas is the process of stilling the senses and the mind and allowing the lustre of the Atman to manifest itself spontaneously.
