MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.5
Radhe krishna,
Supravat.Have a blessed day,
GOD AS MASTER AND FRIEND
Swami Sivananda
How do real friends love in this world? What an amount of love passes between them. Such love is developed for God - physical love is turned into spiritual love. There is a transformation of the mundane into the eternal. It is a great pity that sakhi bhava (the attitude of God's beloved) is misunderstood. The jiva chaitanya (individual soul) is the real sakhi. Sakhi bhava is purely an internal state, not a mere external show. The individual soul is united with the supreme soul by self-surrender. The lover and the beloved become one. This is the acme of bhakti. This is the culminating point. Bhakti begins with two and ends with one.
Control the self, conquer the mind and its desires and be established in concentration and inner meditation. There is no Guru Seva, no Guru Bhakti, no Guru Dakshina higher than this.
- Swami Chidananda
