MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 741

Radhe krishna, Good morning & have a blessed day, REALIZE THE HOMOGENEOUS ESSENCE Swami Sivananda One who lives this way never strays away from the Right, from Dharma. He never loses the sight of the Truth. He never falls into darkness. Such a one never utters falsehood, for he knows the Lord as the Antaryami(indweller) dwelling in the innermost recess of every being. He never commits sin, for nothing can be hidden from the all-pervading Lord. He ever does his duty heroically and courageously, knowing that the real doer is indeed the Lord who impels him to act upon this earthly Life. He who wants nothing is a mighty emperor of the world. Brahman is all-full. All wants are satisfied in Brahman. - Swami Sivananda BE UP AND DOING: TIME IS RUNNING OUT Time and tide wait for no man. Moments, hours, days, weeks, months, years pass. They have passed. You consider, look back. A little while ago, you were a little child playing in your parents’ garden. Then you were a little grown-up boy or girl taking going to school seriously, day after day, and becoming upset if Mummy delayed the departure by late breakfast. Because school was important, very important, you were worried what the master would say if you reached late. How serious that world was! Later on, adolescence took over and teenage. It seems like yesterday, right behind your shoulder. It does not look remote or distant. It seems like yesterday, when you put on your first new full suit or full dress, dressed yourself like an adult, and made your advent into the society of seniors, into adult society, attended the first marriage party, maybe. And then the convocation ... and then ... all seems but like yesterday. But then, consider the age of your body. How many sheets have been torn off the annual calendar, year after year? How many Christmases have come and gone? How many firsts of January have flowed by? And how black hairs have turned gray and gray hairs have turned white! Dinamapi Rajani Sayam Pratah Sisira Vasantau Punarayatah Kala Kridati Gachchathyayuh In this way, days and nights pass. The seasons fly away spring, summer, autumn, winter and life hurries past before we realize that we are in the evening of our life or the mid- point of our life. Therefore it is that these admonitions come with a certain sense of urgency. And it is worthwhile paying attention to these admonitions that we may not later on regret and cry, “Alas, alas!”. That is why we have the familiar expression: “Take time by the forelock!”. swami chidananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY.
