Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
DIVINE ECONOMISTS
Swami Sivananda
Economists speak of four things, land, labour, capital and
organisation, to increase one's wealth and resources. Sages ho are
divine economists also speak of four things — discrimination,
vairagya, longing for liberation and meditation are the four means of
salvation. If the land is not ploughed and manured, if the soil is
full of stones, you cannot have a good harvest or crop. Even so, if
the inner land viz. mind is not prepared properly, if the weeds of
lust anger, greed etc. are not removed you cannot have a harvest of
spiritual wealth or divine bliss.
To have a human birth is difficult. To follow the Vedic path is rare.
To be well-versed in the scriptural lore is still rare. But the rarest
of all is discrimination between the Self and the not-self,
self-realisation and getting established in Brahman. Liberation is
attained through well-earned merits of a hundred crores of births.
- Swami Sivananda
YOU ARE YOUR BEST FRIEND: RAISE YOURSELF BY
YOURSELF
Take keen interest in yourself. Take keen interest in your self-study.
No one else is
going to take interest in you as much as you can, as much as you are
capable of. Because you
have constantly to live with yourself. Therefore, you alone are
capable of giving full attention to
yourself by night and by day. You only stand in a position of
advantage to do maximum good to
yourself. All others can try to give you occasional help, but you only
are in the unique position of
being able to be your greatest benefactor. Not the sole benefactor,
certainly, but the greatest
benefactor. And in this task, you are not alone. He who dwells within
you is constantly with
you.
swami chidananda
Chant the Maha Mantra
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
BE HAPPY.
