MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1171
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
SAMSKARAS
Swami SivanandaBy 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

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 SivanandaBut 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.
