MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.26
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
MORAL LIFE
Swami Sivananda
Non-violence is a virtue of the strong and courageous. It is a vice for morally weak who is a coward. There is no religion higher than truth. There is no virtue higher than truth. There is no Dharma higher than truth. There is no treasure higher than truth. Truth is God—God is truth. Selfless service can reveal to you the oneness of humanity can expand your heart and take you to the door of intuition. Therefore, do unceasing selfless service and thus purify your heart.
…Do not be offended by trifling matters. Admit your faults if they are pointed out by others. Thank the man who points out your defects. Pray. Sing the Lord's Lilas. You will attain eternal happiness.
- Swami Sivananda.

DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY?
The life of the Spirit, the life of sadhana, the life of laying by eternal treasures as distinct
from perishable trifles, was brought home with full force and significance by the admonition of
Jesus, the divine teacher of the Middle East, in the form of a query: “What does it profit a man if he
gains the whole world but loses his spiritual life?” This was one of the great questions put before
global mankind for all times. It places before each human individual a criterion to measure things, a
measuring rod.
Similarly, Adi Sankaracharya in a very descriptive manner brings out more or less the same
truth in the last line of each verse of his Guru Paduka Stotra: “You may have the wealth of the whole
world, everything that can ever be desired, but of what use is it if your entire mind and heart is not
totally absorbed in God and in following your spiritual teacher?”
This, indeed, is something that one should seriously consider. What are we engaged in? Are
we engaged in laying by eternal treasures, or are we engaged in gathering trifles as life hurries past
like a fast flowing river? Gurudev put it in his way: “Life is short, time is fleeting.” With each
incoming and outgoing breath, the allotted life span of each jivatman’s residence in this earthly
body is fast being depleted.
