MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1138
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day.
SPIRIT OF SERVICESwami SivanandaSpiritual aspirants of- the present-day are sadly lacking in these two indispensable qualifications, and that is the root-cause why they do not make any headway at all in their meditation. They have not prepared the ground, I mean the inner spirit, by protracted practice of love and service in the beginning. I have seen several devotees in all my experiences in the spiritual path—devotees who wear half a dozen rosaries around their necks and wrists and mutter the Lord's name day and night. But these devotees will never approach a sick man even while he is in a dying condition and give him a cup of water or milk and ask: "What do you want, brother? How can I serve you?" Out of curiosity they may just look at him from a distance. Can you call these people true devotees? Can there be an iota of real benefit in their meditation or remembrance of God or repeating His name? Our Divine Master always said that the teaching profession is the noblest and best, for it gives you a grand opportunity of moulding young lives and turning their minds towards noble spiritual ideals. Therefore take to the profession with faith and enthusiasm and serve the Lord in your students. Kindly make a more thorough study of our Master’s works and equip yourself fully to discharge your sacred duty efficiently. You will shine and enrich the lives of your pupils. Swami Chidananda
