MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1135
,
Radhe Krishna,
Have a blessed day,
REAL SERVICESwami SivanandaWho is a great man? Is it in a powerful king with an unbalanced and unbridled mind and living in a palace, or is it in a poor saint with a magnificent calm and balanced mind, living in a grass-hut on the sacred banks of the Ganges? If you want to serve another man, you should try to please him in all respects. You should not do him anything that pleases you. You should do such actions as can bring him immense happiness and good. This constitutes real service. But generally people under the camouflage of serving others try to please themselves only. This is a serious mistake. He who gives the handle of a sharp knife to another to hold, holding the sharp blade himself does real service. A real servant rejoices in suffering. He takes on his shoulders the most responsible, difficult and the most uninteresting type of work and kills his own little self so that he may be of service to others. He willingly undergoes pain and suffering in order to help and please others. Why are you driven by greed? Why do you not seek freedom from the cycle of birth and death? Worldly possessions are of no avail. Death is sure to overtake you in your vain worldly pursuit. - Swami Sivananda You are extremely blessed in your noble aspiration to tread the path of Divine Life. The Lord is all mercy and compassion and is sure to shower His Grace upon all who turn to Him for protection and care. Kindly trust in Him. Have no anxiety but surrender to the Lord under all circumstances and conditions. Feel His protecting care at every step, Swami Chidananda chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPYhttps://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/03/01-master-sivananda-in-rishikesh-also.html |
