MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1199

Radhe krishna.

Have a blessed day,

AIDS TO CONCENTRATION

Swami Sivananda

Cultivate attention; you will have good concentration. A serene mind is fit for concentration. Keep the mind serene. Be cheerful always. Then alone can you concentrate. Be regular in your concentration. Sit in the same place, at the same time (4 a.m.), for the practice of concentration. Celibacy, control of breath, reduction of wants and activities, dispassion, silence, seclusion, discipline of the senses, repetition of the Lord's name, control of anger, giving up reading novels and newspapers and visiting cinemas, are all aids to concentration. Recitation and singing of the Lord's name and hymns, will develop concentration. Stick to one object and centre when you concentrate. Concentration demands patient and protracted practice. Do not leave the practice even for a day. It is very difficult to rise up again.

When you enter the consciousness of the infinite, you will have no problems. You will have no questions to ask, for the questioner and the questioned will be one. Subject and object will be dissolved.

- Swami Sivananda

Decide. Make a study of yourself. Try to have a clear picture of your own nature. Draw a
picture of yourself; weak points and strong points. Eliminate all the negative qualities. Pray to God

constantly. Lead a simple life. Speak the truth at any cost. God will guide you
