DESTROY THE CRAVING-SEED

Swami Sivananda

There is no craving in an American for sambaar and rasam. There is no craving in a teetotaller for alcoholic drinks. There is no craving for meat in a vegetarian. Habit generates craving, and repetition causes habit. Craving is the seed for births and deaths. Craving causes restlessness and diseases. Craving is the cause for various troubles and suffering. Craving is Maya's jugglery and bait. Maya deluded the individual soul through craving. Craving is inveterate and deep rooted. Craving is an enemy of peace, devotion and Knowledge-Eternal. Craving is the root of Samsara (worldly existence). Craving binds you to this world of appearances. Craving is born of the ignorance of one's essential nature. Destroy this craving-seed through discrimination and dispassion, Prayer, abstinence, self-control, enquiry and meditation, And become a liberated soul in the awareness of the Supreme.

preme.

Service of humanity is service of God. This is the new religion as preached by Sri Swami

Vivekananda, Sri Gurudev and other modern saints. This is the religion as taught by Mahatma

Gandhi. It is God and God alone that assumes all names and forms. He walks in the garb of a beggar.

He assumes the form of the sick and suffering.

Purity is achieved by freedom from desire, and desire should be distinguished from necessity.

YOUR REAL ENEMIES

Swami Sivananda

Your enemies are not outside; They are within you. The body also is your enemy, in a way. You have become a slave to this body Through soft living, ease and comfort. It refuses to obey you at your will. You have become a slave of the senses and the mind By allowing them to run amuck and do as they like. The five senses drag you in different directions. They tempt you, delude you and deceive you. Arise victorious over these enemies by persistent self-effort, Through practice of restraint, discrimination and enquiry. They will be brought under your control by and by. Discipline them again and again; Be vigilant, diligent, introspective and persevering.

FORMATIVE PERIOD

Swami Sivananda

The most precious period of a man's life is youth. Young age is the formative period in a human beings�s life. The moulding of one's nature and the making of personality and character take place in this period. Thus it is that the greatest importance had been given to this stage of life by our cultural forebears in ancient India. In childhood, the young one unconsciously absorbs the influences of the environment. The growing child acquires and cultivates qualities of behaviour and conduct through unconscious imitation of persons surrounding him. At a later stage, in youth, the young person begins to consciously and deliberately choose and develop habits of life and traits of character from examples and ideals that are before him or her. This process goes on progressively in the period of student life and leaves a lasting stamp upon the individual.

Discover your root in the eternal. Regain faith in the transcendental truth. You will ever be peaceful and blissful.

- Swami Sivananda

Ever live in God. The only thing worth seeking in this world is God. God alone is to be

sought in this world. All happiness and bliss are centered in Him alone. Therefore, attain God.

AIM OF LIFE

Swami Sivananda

In India, life has always been regarded as invaluable and an important means for the attainment of a very high and noble end. Life has a far greater aim than merely managing to make some money, enjoying a few physical comforts and pleasures and luxuries and getting good name, fame and applause. The conception in Bharatavarsha has always been and shall for ever be that your life has for its grand purpose the achievement of an all-round perfection of body, mind and soul through an ideal life of virtue, goodness, purity, self-control, selflessness, kindness, service and fulfilment of one's true duty. Manly fulfilment of one's duty and bold and courageous idealism form the key-note of the ethical life conceived by the Indian genius.

If you are intensely aware of the Supreme Reality, shining within you as peace profound, then you are eternally a dweller of Satchidananda-Brahma-Puri.

Sometimes you will behold coloured lights: green, blue, red, etc. They are due to the presence of different Tattwas at a particular time. Each element is associated with a different light. Ignore these lights and continue your meditation. Sometimes you will have vision of saints, sages, tutelary deities, astral forms, landscape, mountains, blue sky, and beautiful gardens. Sometimes you may feel that you are floating in the air. Your astral body may get detached from the physical body. You will move about in the astral world. Those who have entered the first stage of meditation, will have a light body, sweet voice, glowing complexion, clarity of mind and scanty micturation and defaecation.,

If you offer yourself to the Lord, He looks to it that He offers Himself to you. He will liberate you forever by the offering of Himself.

EXPERIENCES IN MEDITATION

Swami Sivananda

Do not be unnecessarily alarmed when you go above body-consciousness. Do not stop your practice. The Lord will take care of you and guide you. Be bold. Look not back. March on, O hero! A flash is a glimpse of Truth. This is not the whole experience. This is not the highest experience. Reach the Infinite, the acme or the final stage. During meditation, you will hear various sorts of Anahat sounds, viz. that of conch, bell, flute, lute, drum, thunder, etc. You will see brilliant lights in the space between the eye-brows. They are of various types like pin point or like the sun, the moon or the stars.

Thy steps are not steady in the spiritual path. Do more Japa. Intensify your Vairagya. Sit and meditate in one place. Wander not. Serve.

- Swami Sivananda

Love is selfless service, mercy, compassion, fellowship, helpfulness, understanding,

tolerance and goodwill. Therefore cultivate love. Love all. Befriend all.

OTHER

MEDITATIONS

Swami Sivananda Meditate on the all-pervading nature of air. This will lead to the realization of the nameless and formless God, the one, living Truth. Watch the flow of breath. You will hear the sound "Soham"—"So" during inhalation and "Hum" during exhalation. Soham means "I am He." The breath reminds you of your identity with the Supreme Soul. You are unconsciously repeating Soham 21,600 times daily, at the rate of 15 Soham per minute. Associate the ideas of existence, knowledge, bliss, purity, peace, perfection, love, etc., with Soham Mantra. Negate the body while repeating this and identify with the Supreme Soul. Meditate on the Absolute. Think that there is a living, universal Power which underlies all names and forms. Associate the attributes of infinity, eternity, immortality, existence-consciousness-bliss absolute. In due course, the attributes will dissolve in pure, attributeless meditation. You cannot find refuge in your sons, father and relatives when you are overtaken by death. Be virtuous. Meditate on God and conquer death. - Swami Sivananda Love is the greatest healing power in this world. Love of God really means love of humanity .

Meditate mentally on the effulgence of the sun, or on the soft light of the moon, or on the twinkling light of the stars. Meditate on the magnificence of the ocean and its infinite nature. Then compare the ocean to the infinite nature of God, and the waves, foams and icebergs to the various names and forms of the world. Identify yourself with the ocean. Become silent. Meditate on the Himalayas. Imagine that the Ganges takes its origin in the snowy regions of Gomukh, flows through Rishikesh, Haridwar, Varanasi, and then enters the Bay of Bengal near Gangasagar. The Himalayas, the Ganges and the sea: these three thoughts only should occupy your mind. First take the mind to the snowy regions of the Himalayas, then along the Ganges, and finally to the sea. Rotate the mind in this manner. Gaze steadily on the formless air. Concentrate on air.
