MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1062
Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
NO ONE IS HAPPY IN THIS WORLD
Swami Sivananda
God Indra is not happy, an emperor is not happy. A dictator is not
happy. A president of a state is not happy. A rich man has great
wealth but he has no children, and so he is pained at heart. A poor
man has 14 children but has nothing to eat and so he is miserable. One
man has wealth and children but his son is a vagabond and so he is
worried. One man has riches and good sons but his wife is very
quarrelsome. Who is happy then? A sage is happy, a Yogi is happy. No
one save a sage is happy in this world. He who has controlled his mind
is happy. Glory to such Yogi and sage.
The work which gives elevation, joy and peace of mind is right; that
which brings depression, pain, restlessness is wrong. To give pleasure
to others is right, to spread misery and pain to others is wrong.
- Swami Sivananda
So, Gurudev wanted us to lead a divine life, which naturally implies
leading a life of joy,
leading a life where the ego has been once and for all put out,
snuffed out, given a safe bur
ial; and
you shine with the effulgence of your own real identity. When he sang,
“Within you is hidden God,
within you is Immortal Soul, within you is ocean of bliss, within you
is fountain of joy. Kill this
little ‘I’. Die to live. Lead the divine life,” he meant that unless
and until you kill this little “I”,
unless and until you die to live, leading of the divine life will be a far cry.
