Radhe krishna.
Good morning & have a blessed day,
O STUDENTS BE WISE
Swami Sivananda
You are only students now. You do not know what is this world. The
world is a very great thing or solid reality for a passionate,
worldly-minded man. As the mind is soaked with the worldly thoughts,
worldly Vasanas(Subtle desire), and worldly Samskaras(Impression), as
he is surrounded by asuric(Demonic) environment, as he is breathing
the atmosphere emanating from the sensual filth, he is not able to
comprehend subtle things which are transcendental. He has forgotten
all about the glory of divinity and super-living.
He, who hears the music of the soul, plays his part well in life.
- Swami Sivananda
So, let us take hold of every opportunity, and let us make use of
every moment for this
lofty purpose. And let us convert even the inevitable earthly
experiences of ours into means of
rising higher upon the spiritual path. As the great Rama Tirtha used
to say, “Make stumbling
blocks into stepping stones to success”. Our very obstacles and
handicaps may become the
occasion for exercising spiritual qualities like courage,
determination and endurance, like
wisdom, Viveka, Vichara and will-power
all these and more. It is when one faces obstacles
and temptations and difficulties upon the way that one is called upon
to invoke from within
resources lying dormant. So it becomes an opportunity for putting
forth from within ourselves
qualities which would not have been called forth had it not been for
these adverse circumstances
and obstacles.

Chant the Maha Mantra
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

BE HAPPY
