MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1184Radhe krishna.
Have a blessed day.
EDUCATING CHILDREN
Swami Sivananda
Children should be properly moulded by teachers and parents. They are like malleable metal or like plastic clay. They are highly suggestible. They will do what we tell them to do. They are very imitative. Therefore, they will copy our actions. They are eager. They are brave. They fear not even adverse criticism. If we set before them the path of good life, if we can inspire them with the principles of good physical and mental health and high ideals, they will turn out to be good citizens and ideal individuals. Every good, conscientious teacher or parent should promote healthy outlook upon life and the sense of well-being in the children, for whom he is responsible. He himself should be an ideal man. He himself must be full of life, light and joy. He must be endowed with spiritual attributes and a high standard of health, vim, vigour and vitality. An unhappy, worried and sickly teacher or parent who is full of private griefs and woes, cannot guide the children and lift them up to high standard of life. He himself needs teaching and education first..
He who has faith, who is tranquil and self-controlled, and who meditates on Atman, attains immortality and eternal bliss.
- Swami Sivananda
Live and act worshipfulness. Dedicate all the movements of life unto the Supreme. Fill life
with selfless activity, bounded by the terminals of mystic contemplation and inner reflection in the
morning and night. Even while you act thus stand inwardly as a silent witness of thine own actions.
Dedicate all activity to the Supreme by offering them up mentally to the Divine frequently during
the day. This is practical Vedanta. It is not action that binds but the association of our inner
consciousness with the actions of our mind and body. Practice of Self-Awareness strikes at it and
snaps this error of association. No more do actions bind. Activity continues yet you abide in the
Self. Such abidance in the Self is the very secret essence of the Quest and the Path. All spiritual
Sadhanas are directed towards gaining this Self-Abidance. What have you to do with this body and
its movements? How can activities ever touch or affect thy inner Reality, the hidden Splendour?
Neither body, senses or mind but Immortal Atman thou art. May the Divine Light guide thy hands
and feet at each moment, at each step every day. May supreme Blessedness be thin
