MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1127
Radhe krishna, Have a blessed day,
SUPREME KNOWLEDGE
Swami SivanandaKnowledge derived from the intellect is finite. Knowledge derived from intuition is infinite. Empirical Knowledge is brittle. It is not homogeneous. The worldly wise is not permanently happy. He who sees himself in all beings, by means of knowledge of Atma, attains spiritual unity with all, and realizes the eternal Brahman. It is the light of Atma Jnana that will enable you to see the Reality behind the manifest universe. There is neither defect not deficiency in the Absolute. Apart from the Absolute there is nothing anywhere that is eternally true. Knowledge of the Self is Light: you want Light, more Light. Lead kindly Light.
In the quest for material progress and sensual enjoyment do not lose sight of the goal.
- Swami Sivananda
Due to impurities, the mind is drawn always into a state of restlessness, outgoing movement
and agitation. This is the second barrier called Vikshepa. This has also to be overcome.
Still deeper in your mind is the third barrier called Avarana. It is a mysterious veil over the
inner depths of your consciousness which holds you in a state of ignorance of your higher nature.
Avarana is non-awareness owing to nescience, the basic ignorance. This veil is made up of the
identification of the body-mind-consciousness.
These three—Mala, Vikshepa and Avarana—have to be overcome gradually, stage by stage
in a methodical manner. And then suddenly you see the illumination of Atmic knowledge. You will
come face to face with your true nature. You will have this transcendental experience.
The removal of the basic impurities or blemishes can be done by the cultivation of the
opposite positive qualities. What do you do when you want to remove darkness? You do not bring
mops or brooms to sweep it or sacks to collect it. You bring the positive opposite quality light to
remove darkness.
