Radhe krishna,
Goood morning & have a blessed day,
SURE MEANS TO ATTAIN GODHEAD
Swami Sivananda
Self-control, sweet and pleasant speech, good manners and behaviour,
Satsang with Mahatmas, good spiritual preceptor this is a Supreme
Blessing. This must be your sadhana. To-live righteously, to do
praiseworthy deeds, to abstain from liquors, tobacco, to abhor and
cease from sin, to lead a contented life, to be meek and humble, to
hear the Lord's lilas and the Srutis, to be pure at heart, to
associate with the wise, to enter into Samadhi or the superconscious
state this is a Supreme Blessing. These must be your ideals in life.
Each human being is his own best friend. For you, there is no friend
greater than
yourself. You are your own best friend. Because, other friends are
available at times, under
certain circumstances, in certain places; whereas, you are available
to yourself all the twenty-four
hours, day and night. Any problem that hits you, anything that crops
up within, immediately has
your help in order to be solved and overcome. So you are available to
yourself all the twenty-
four hours, all the time. So, you are a never-failing friend to
yourself. Therefore you are your
best friend. You are a friend in need. Therefore you are a friend
indeed. And therefore you will
never let yourself down. You can always rely upon yourself. A hundred
per cent you can rely
upon yourself.
This point is to be grasped firmly. And in the light of this very,
very comforting,
convincing supportive thought, you must forge ahead upon the path that
leads to God-
consciousness and divine perfection. “Within you,” Guru Maharaj used
to say, “within you there
is a magazine of power, a magazine of tremendous power”. When he said
“Magazine”, he did
not mean a monthly journal or periodical. When he said “Magazine”, he
meant a place where
they store ammunition, where they store gun-powder that has got
tremendous explosiveness.
Magazine ... they call it magazine. So, within you there is a magazine
of power, there is an
infinite mind.
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene,
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear.”
The purest gems, shining and radiant, precious gem
they are there under the ocean.
swami chidananda
This is the stage of intuition, where objects disclose their essential
character and, giving up all their tactics of opposition and revolt
which they resorted to earlier, they assume a friendly attitude, and
the whole universe seems to be on one’s beck and call. The denizens of
the higher planes, themselves, begin to help the aspirant, instead of
opposing him as they did before.
