MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1125
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
NON-INJURY AS A SPIRITUAL FORCE
Swami SivanandaNon-injury is not to be regarded as a mere occasion or as a matter of policy. It must become an important principle dominating your life. If you are established in non-injury, you have attained all virtues. You cannot practise non-injury without practicing Truth. Non-injury is a great spiritual force. It is cosmic love. Non-injury is not a mere negative principle, but it is the positive Cosmic Love. Non-injury, truth and continence symbolize the processes of avoiding sin and treading the path of virtue and self-purification. Practise non-injury. If you injure any other creature, you really injure yourself, because the God that dwells in you dwells in all.
Bhakti grows gradually just as you grow a flower of a tree in a garden. Cultivate Bhakti in the garden of your heart gradually.
- Swami Sivananda
Therefore, from whichever angle you approach and study the subject of religion and
spirituality, and from whichever angle you look at it, you find that every important factor is
fundamentally one and the same in all faiths. All faiths are one and all prophets have lived the same
life of ethical perfection, divine compassion, goodness and awareness of the oneness of mankind.
Thus, however much we may try to close our eyes to these facts, we find the oneness of all faiths
proclaiming itself in a living, irresistible way through the very motive force underlying each faith
and religion. In other words, there is oneness in the process of all religious achievements, and there
is oneness in the ultimate destination which each one of these different religions wants its followers
to realise. These different faiths are, as it were, so many beautiful flowers that go to make a
beautiful bouquet which we offer at the Almighty Being.
Swami Chidananda.
