Radhe krishna,
Good morning& have a blessed day,
DEVOTION
Swami Sivananda
Devotion is constant remembrance of God with one thought and with one
ideal that flows like an unbroken stream of oil poured from one vessel
to another. There is no knowledge without devotion. Devotion is the
flower and knowledge is the fruit. Jnana or knowladge is an
efflorescence of devotion.
Just as taste, colour and other distinctions are superimposed on
water, so also caste, name, order of religious life etc., are
superimposed on the Atma on account of various limiting conditions.
- Swami Sivananda
So, from ancient times they have been trying to focus our attention
upon this point and
they have been trying to tell us, “You are divine. And only that which
is divine should be
tolerated within you. You should not tolerate anything that is
contrary to your essential real
nature. Be aware. Look within. Try to introspect analyses and wisely
eliminate from within
yourself everything that contradicts that which you are”. Therefore,
divinely should you live
your life. Then alone your life will be authentic, genuine, true.
There will not be any more of
conflict. There will not be waste of inner energy, spiritual power, in
needlessly trying to come
into clash with avoidable opposites. So, much of energy will be saved
if it is not wasted away in
a negative process of trying to contend with these things.
