 MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 1162

Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

SELF-WITHDRAWAL

Swami Sivananda

If one gets Viveka or discrimination, Vairagya or dispassion will dawn by itself. If one has Vairagya, Sama will come by itself. If one has Sama, Dama will come by itself. If one has Sama and Dama, Uparati will come by itself. Some define Uparati as renunciation of all actions. But you will find in Vivekachudamani a beautiful definition. The best Uparati or self-withdrawal consists in the modifications of the mind ceasing to act by means of the agency of the external objects. According to 'Aparoksha Anubhuti' formula of Sri Sankara, Uparati or extreme abstention is the turning away from the objects of enjoyment.

Let no part of your life be divorced from Sadhana. Bring God into everything you do and live in the constant awareness of your close relationship to Him.

- Swami Chidananda
