 MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1159

Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

SAMA' AND 'DAMA'

Swami Sivananda

According to 'Aparoksha Anubhuti' of Sri Sankara: Sadeva vasanatyaga samo ayamiti sabdithah, Nigraho bahya vrittinam dama ityabhideeyate. "The constant eradication of the Vasanas or subtle desires is called the control of the mind or Sama. The restraint of the external activities is called the control of the body or Dama." According to Vivekachudamani, the resting of the mind steadily on its goal, i.e., Brahman (Swalakshya), after having detached itself from the

 mani fold sense-objects, by continually taking cognizance of theirdrawbacks is called samjs called sama.

According to 'Apcan raise himself to the highest Heaven or damn himself to the lowest hell. It is all in his hands.
