MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 751

Radhe krishna, Good morning & have a blessed day, SPIRITUALITY Swami Sivananda Remember this point clearly. Constantly reflect upon this. Meditate upon this. Know what that true spirituality is. Fully realise the importance of becoming a changed man ethically and morally. Carefully avoid the dangers of self-deception. The eradication of egoism in all its aggressive forms comprises the very core of spirituality and all spiritual Sadhana. Do Sadhana regularly and pray for His Grace. Regularity in Sadhana is of paramount importance. Imagine not that you have scaled the heights of spirituality. Patiently wait for the results. And the latest one to resound that call and exhort us with all the power of his pen, with all the power of his oratory, with all the power of his earnest love for mankind, with all the power of the sincerity at his command, with all the power of his own deep penance and God-realization, was beloved and worshipful Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji, the prophet of this Twentieth Century, a messenger of God-realization, a messenger of spiritual life. In the modern space age and atomic age, Swami Sivanandaji came as the representative of that ancient unbroken line of seers and sages who have been doing the same thing generation after generation, through the millennia and down the centuries, from the ancient Upanishadic era beyond recorded history. Gurudev was a modern representative of this ancient unbroken line of spiritual awakeners, spiritual messengers, divine messengers. And therefore, fortunate as we are to have come into the orbit of his wisdom teachings, into the light of his divine awakening, into the powerful spiritual stream he set into movement, let us keep up our direction, let us not fall into slumber, let us not rest on our oars, let us not get into wrong channels, side channels. Let us keep to the main stream that flows towards the ocean, majestically, ceaselessly. Let the spiritual current of our aspiration towards God-realization flow in a steady unbroken stream. Let us direct all our energies, all our efforts, all the spiritual force at our command, all the power of our reasoning and intellect, all the vigour of our body, all the power of our will, the power of our purified sentiments and emotions, gathering together all our personality potential as action, feeling, thinking and reasoning, let us become one unified onward movement towards the great Goal. Yes, life needs to be consciously directed in the right direction of the Goal. Life needs to be purposefully applied towards this steady onward movement, upward and Godward movement. Our direction should be right. That is the key the right direction and the right application of all that life comprises for us, all that our personality constitutes, outer and inner. That is the great task. That is the challenge. That is the great adventure. That is the one thing needful. swami chidananda When the realities of practical life conflict with or stare at the knowledge we possess, it should be remembered that such knowledge is immature and is a mere theory. Moreover, it is not knowledge �of� life that we need; we require knowledge which �is� life, and is inseparable from its daily vexations. - Swami Krishnananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY.
