MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1106
PRACTICE OF YOGA
Swami SivanandaThe Yogi gets immense inner spiritual strength through practice of concentration and meditation. Enlightenment dawns in the Yogi whose mind is perfectly serene, who has calmed his passionate nature, who has destroyed all sorts of attachments and who has attained equipoise of mind and inner harmony. The self-controlled Yogi tries to keep poise under all conditions and amidst the pairs of the opposites. Yoga includes iron determination, fiery resolve, faith, earnestness, powerful concentration, well-balanced mind, and purity. Those who have not disciplined the mind and the senses, who have not practised regular meditation, who have not developed the faculty of discrimination, who have not eradicated lust, egoism, anger, greed, etc., cannot be called Yogins.
one thousand times to be called the ignorant and cling fast to my soul-uplifting culture and heritage
which guarantees me purity, manliness, divinity, character, integrity, unselfishness and love for
mankind.”
Be careful, brethren, that scientific knowledge devoid of religion and spirituality will
quicken only the world-doom since it provides in the hand of the all-devouring brutal instinct of the
degenerated man another addition of deadly power for self-destruction.
Power verily corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Therefore neglect not the foremost duty of building up character, nobility, godliness and
love for the search of your true nature
Swami Chidananda.
The universe is struggling to become aware of its own existence as a total whole. The cosmos is endeavouring to regain its integrality in an all-inclusive Self awareness.
