MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1169
Radhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
DIVINE TREASURE
Swami SivanandaMake love thy armour. To love God is to love all. To love all is to love God. Make love your treasure. Spread the message of love. All are manifestations of the Lord. Love all equally. Again and again strive. Practise cosmic love. Love all. Embrace all. Be kind to all. This will remove jealousy, hatred, etc. Love all. This is the secret of God-realization and liberation. Adaptability, kind speech, pure conduct and patience are the four fundamental virtues. Justice, temperance, courage, wisdom and holiness are the five great virtues.
All desires are annihilated for anything here or in the hereafter. At this juncture we are given
a startling revelation. We find that at the top of this great renunciation comes another vow. For, the
monk declares: “I will not cause fear to any being.” The monk gives the promise of absolute
fearlessness to all creatures, whereby no living being need fear of any harm from him. By this he
pledges himself to Visva-Prema or universal love. For, fear can exist only where harm or pain is
forthcoming, and the latter are manifest only where hatred or animosity is present. But where love
becomes enshrined, only loving service and joy flow forth and all creatures may fearlessly partake
of it with perfect assurance and confidence. Such universal love and service are therefore the
spontaneous offshoots of Mahatyaga or supreme abandonment of selfishness. Therefore these two
great and sublime elements of Tyaga, i.e., abandonment of desires for name, fame and reward, and
Seva, i.e., service to the sick, poor and needy—constitute the sublime elements in the spirit of
Sannyasa. Tyaga is for Atmasakshatkara or Self-realisation. Therefore service and Self-realisation
form the lofty twin impulses that move in the life of a true Sannyasin taking him.

Every event is a cosmic event; every baby is a child of the whole cosmos. It belongs to the universe. Everyone belongs to the universe�myself, yourself, all people.
