MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1142
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
NATURE OF BRAHMAN
Swami SivanandaThe Absolute is suprarational. Though it transcends thought, it is not unconscious. Para Brahman is beginningless and endless. Impersonal Para Brahman cannot think, cannot know. It is knowledge itself. It is a mass of pure consciousness. Pure consciousness is self-luminous but devoid of relation to objects. Existence implies consciousness, devoid of which Existence has no reality and hence equals non-existence. Existence-Absolute should always be Consciousness-Absolute. This Consciousness-Absolute cannot function; for by functioning it will be contradicting the actionless Reality. Therefore, this consciousness can only be in the form of Self-awareness.
Instances are not lacking where recluses in solitude, after years of asceticism, have slowly
slipped into an easy-going life by coming in contact with admiring devotees. When they come to be
well-known, devotees gather round volunteering to do personal service. Not wishing to disappoint
the eager disciples, the ascetic allows a little latitude at first, but it grows upon him until he is a slave
to every sort of luxury.

Yoga is a process of rejoicing. It is not a suffering. It is a movement through happiness. From one state of joy, we move to another state of joy.
