SECRET OF SUCCESS

Swami Sivananda

Remember this point clearly. Meditate upon this. Know what true spirituality is. Fully realize the importance of becoming ethically and morally sound before claiming to be a spiritual aspirant. Change the animal nature first. When your senses are disciplined and the mind purified and prepared, success will come by itself, in any spiritual endeavour and even in material undertakings. Happiness will spontaneously flow in and fill you when you have emptied yourself of crudeness, harshness, egotism, pride and all forms of passions. Where there are kindness, humility and purity, there spirituality springs up, saintliness shines, divinity descends and perfection

manifests itself,

Strong and fiery determination, firm resolution, intense application, tenacity, patience and perseverance, are essential in the spiritual path.

Swami Sivanaanda

PRACTICAL VEDANTA

Swami Sivananda

Mere theorizing of Vedantic principles is but day-dreaming. You must live in the spirit of Vedanta. You should become a practical Vedantin. The consciousness of the unity of life, the supremacy of matter over spirit, should find expression in your actions, in such a way that you would not differentiate between high and low, poor and rich; you would have balance of mind in loss and gain, pain and pleasure; you would not be led astray by the urgings of the senses; you would think less of the body but more of the spirit; you would dissociate yourself from your little self. It is the ignorance of the real nature of man that makes him selfish, that makes him infatuated with some and malicious to others, to run after the sense-world, and suffer the consequences. This ignorance Vedanta helps to remove.

Be still. Tune yourself with the Divine will. Let go all worries. Get deep down into the innermost core of your heart and plunge into the ocean of peace.

INDIVIDUAL SOUL

Swami Sivananda

Life is one, but the same soul is individualized in millions of entities with as many superimpositions. The soul became individualized when the reality willed to begin the process of evolution in the fabric of creation, and when the human species was evolved, man was endowed with a discerning mind, to choose between what was good for him and what would subject him to the law of retribution. The original 'why' of the creation of the individual soul, as it embodied itself as man for the first time, can only be stated as the play of the reality. There is no satisfactory explanation to this 'why.' But once the soul became embodied as man, its fate lay in its own discretion.

MAYA DOCTRINE

Swami Sivananda

Maya is the veiling power of the reality, which makes matter appear as a self-sustaining entity, which it is not. It is Maya which deludes man to think that the body acts, the mind thinks, the eyes see, the ears hear, through their own agencies, without being aware of the fact that it is the Atman which makes all these instruments function. Vedanta proclaims the victory of the spirit over matter. The doctrine of Maya is not pessimistic. It helps man to see things in their true nature. The son is dear to man because the Atman is dear to him. The wife is dear to man because the Atman is dear to him. Man loves another because, in truth, he loves himself. The veiling power of Maya makes man associate everything with his little self—the mind, the ego, the body, instead of with his higher Self. By right understanding of the Maya doctrine, one comes to know the nature of the illusion, and identifies oneself with the reality. Maya disappears with the dawn of Self-knowledge.

with his higher Self. By right understanding of the Maya doctrine, one comes to know the nature of the illusion, and identifies oneself with the reality. Maya disappears with the dawn of Self-knowledge.

Earnestness and sincerity in one′s spiritual Sadhana to attain the supreme goal of human existence unfailingly draws down the blessings of your master and the divine grace of the Supreme.

MAN MUST KNOW HIMSELF

Swami Sivananda
Man does not know himself because he is perpetually drowned in the sense-world. He must get over his self-wrought delusion through enquiry and meditation on the nature of the reality. The study of the scriptures will give him a vision into it, and the guidance of the preceptor will clear his perception. Purification of the vehicle of perception will enable him to retain its consciousness. It is a long process. But that is how you can free yourself from the sufferings of the world. The world is mind, and suffering is mostly in mind. It is only by shaping your mind to perceive the world in its true light and your real position in it, by knowing your inner nature, and disciplining yourself, that you can conquer the miseries of life. Suffering derived through physical causes are much leaser than the magnitude of mental suffering. If the mind can be trained in the light of the nature of things, if it knows contentment, if it knows how to cultivate the strength of will and take the initiative to ameliorate one's physical and spiritual poverty, then suffering in life can be, to a great extent, diminished.

RIGHT DISCERNMENT

Swami Sivananda

Man must, therefore, cultivate right discernment, and discipline his mind, so as to be rooted in correct judgment and not allow himself to be led astray by his impulses. This can be done through strengthening of the will. The will can be strengthened only through the discipline of the senses. Right discernment or discrimination, cogitation and evaluation of the nature of things, would give him dispassion. It is dispassion alone that can give man a glimpse of his real nature. Discrimination would give him a mental understanding of the fact, but dispassion will make him experience it. Dispa

ssion can be sustained only through the cultivation of mental equipoise and control of the senses, both of which are interrelated. You can see your image in the well when the

water is not disturbed. You can see your face clearly in a mirror which has been well polished. The mind should be purified through concentration on the nature of the Soul, contemplation on it, sublimation of the lower impulses, and cultivation of positive qualities.

Swami Sivananda
The ignorance of this fact makes man run after sensual obj He is deluded by the sensual pleasures of the world, even though they cause bondage, drag him into slavery and force him to undergo a good deal of suffering. The world is not bad by itself. The objects of the world are not by themselves bad. It is man's slavery toects and fall into the mortal coils spread around him. He lives in the midst of darkness. He falls again and again under the sway of death, and passes from one incarnation to another. worldliness and false perception that cause his misery. Vedanta helps him to correct his vision. The world, according to Vedanta, is unreal in comparison to the absolute reality of the Soul, but it is as much real as his body, and as long as he is attached to the body, he will also be attached to the world.

LIVING EXPERIENCE

Swami SivanandaVedanta is a living experience, a melting of the soul in the ocean of divine consciousness. It is neither mere theory nor dry philosophy. Mere theorizing and lecturing are only intellectual gymnastics and lingual jitterbug. Vedanta teaches oneness or unity of Self. You must radiate love to one and all. The heart must expand. The mind must be pure. Vanity must disappear. The ego must wither. Selfishness must be eradicated. There should be no thought of the little self, no identification of one's wisdom with one's name and form.

Vairagya born of discrimination is the premonitory symptom of spiritual development. It will help the aspirant in his spiritual uplift.

- Swami Sivananda

Suffering purifies and turns the mind towards God. Suffering strengthens the will, softens the heart and generates the power of endurance. Ever be rooted in the thought of God. Let the constant Smaran of the Lord ever be upon thy lips. Cling to Him fast. Think of His mercy. He is kind and all love. He is Karuna Sindhu. There is no end to His mercy. He means always well with you. Those who surrender to Him will have no fear. Only happiness and joy await the spiritual aspirants in the end.

SAT-CHIT-ANANDA

Even in an ignorant man there is an urge to know about what is going on around himself. He likes to hear gossips, and does not allow his mind to be at rest. This shows that there is an eternal quest for knowledge, and proves the presence of an intelligent principle in man (Chit). Similar is the case with experience. There is always a desire to experience only what is pleasant, that which generates bliss, happiness. No one invites pain. No one enjoys pain. The urge to get away from suffering proves that one is ultimately related to a principle that is identical with bliss (Ananda). Man's real nature, therefore, is Sat-chit-ananda.

- Swami Sivananda

Great care is taken in communicating the mantra to a disciple by a Guru or a Master, because the transferring of the spiritual potency in the form of the mantra to another by means of what is known as initiation is something like the administering of medicine to a patient. Immense care is taken in this work.

RIGHTEOUSNESS, SELF-SURRENDER

Swami Sivananda

ealise the potency of the Divine Name and efficacy of Mantra-writing. You will attain concentration of mind and God-realisation. You can never miss the goal, if you recite His Name always. Get up at dawn with His Name on your lips. Do your duties with His Name in your heart. Retire to bed with His Name on your lips. Constant repetition of the Divine Name has a strong transforming influence upon the mind.

- Swami Sivananda

o resign yourself absolutely to His Will, while doing your duty is a higher form of worship than visiting temples and doing artificially ritualistic worship. The Lord does not want your external show. He wants your heart. Say: "Thy will be done; I am Thine; all is Thine" from the bottom of your heart. Be sincere. Aspire fervently for God-realization. It is simple foolishness to think that you are separate from the rest of the world. You are one with all. In injuring another you injure yourself. In loving others you love yourself. Separativeness is ignorance. Unity is eternal life,

In order to root out these formidable enemies, man should cultivate purity, nobility, charity, love and a spirit of service in his heart. Remember; the Lord has created the world in order to provide a school in which man could learn these virtues and exercise them. Your neighbour has been created by the Lord in order that you might love him, serve him and thus grow in divinity. The Lord Himself walks in the garb of the poor and the sick in order to give you an opportunity to serve Him and thus evolve spiritually. Therefore, serve all. Love all. For thus would you secure a victory over your own lower animal nature.
