MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 763
Radhe krishna,
Good evening & have a blessed day, IDEAL PARENTS Swami Sivananda The parents of the present day who are slaves of fashion teach their children to put on collar and open-coat and to treat with contempt those who wear simple clothing. They teach their children fashion instead of sublime mottos such as: 'Plain living and high thinking.' They pamper and spoil their children with toilet and luxuries They encourage artificial mode of life. They create in their children exaggerated notions of false dignity, superiority etc. The children's character must be built in such a way that it can never be shaken by adverse influence in later life. The parents should themselves lead the divine life. Birth and death, bondage and freedom, pleasure and pain, gain and loss, are mental creations. Transcend the pairs of opposites. You were never born. You will never die. Thou art the immortal Self always, O Prem! Thou art ever free in the three periods of time. It is the physical body that goes and comes. - Swami Sivananda My intention in sharing these thoughts is that you may become more capable, more prepared, more equipped to deal with yourself as you proceed upon the path. May they be received with the same intention. And may they be applied in your lives as they are meant to be applied. May the coming year prove to be a glorious year to you upon this path of progressive ascent towards the supreme state of divine perfection and liberation, of God-experience and universal consciousness. That is the quintessential purpose of this sharing that you may be the better able to keep up this unceasing movement towards your grand divine destiny. swami chidananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY.
