Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
BE GOOD-DO GOOD!
Swami Sivananda
Without goodness man is a brute or vermin. He is mischievous,
wretched, despicable thing on this Holy earth. Goodness makes life a
blessing. Goodness will bring sure success and prosperity. To be good
is human — To be good is divine. A good deed is never lost. It
purifies the heart and leads to divine light and the dawn of divine
grace. He who shows courtesy breeds friendship. He who plants kindness
reaps love. May goodness be your ideal goal. May you all BE DIVINE..
That is an important aspect of Sadhana. If that is not done, if you
try to accumulate dross, it is
like decorating a room with a lot of dirt under the carpet and in the
nooks and corners. Then the
decoration becomes just outward decoration. Swami Vivekananda said:
“If there is no
spirituality within, if there is no beauty of ethical life within, if
there is no Daivi Sampat
all the
divine qualities
within, life is like a decorated dead body.” He said, “A decorated corpse”.
When you take a body to the funeral, oh, they decorate it very very nicely
silk and velvet
and
they put a lot of flowers and a lot of scent, because there is stench.
The body is covered with rich
cloth, brocade, silk, velvet and a lot of flowers. Incense is burnt.
But then, inside, there is
nothing. It is only rotting dead flesh and bones. Swami Vivekananda
said, “It is like decorating
a corpse”. It looks grand from outside, but there is nothing inside.
swami chidananda
The waking world of space, time, objects and relations is similarly
constituted as a manifestation of the Cosmic Mind, thus having no real
objectivity in itself. Profound meditation in this way will lessen the
intensity of a longing and attachment in respect of persons and
things.
