MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 2020
RAdhe krishna,
Have a blessed day,
FOUNDATION OF SPIRITUAL LIFE
Swami SivanandaA man, abandoning society and activity as evil and shutting himself up in seclusion, isolated from mankind, so that he might grow in virtue and into sainthood through meditation, will in all probability be found to be less ready to overlook the transgressions of an erring brother than a practical humanitarian earnestly exerting himself in the field of sincere selfless service. If a monkey or a stray dog happens to enter his cottage or cave and upset his water-pot or run away with his alms, the Ekantavasi Virakta (seclusion-dwelling recluse) may perhaps shout at and curse the animal and nurse a grudge against it for days! He might even beat the offending creature. Then, again, the admirable virtue of adaptability comes only by mixing and moving among men of many moods, and dealing with those of diverse temperaments.
The sacred and auspicious Name of Siva may be repeated all the times of the day. There is
no such restrictions that you should recite only at particular times. For a Sadhaka every moment of
his life is precious. Therefore, think of the Lord Siva always besides your morning and evening
sittings for Japa. Even in the midst of your work, you can repeat His Name mentally. There is no
fixed rule
Swami Chidananda
The mind ceases from its distracted activity so long as the prana is withheld, and similarly, the prana automatically gets restrained when the desires of the mind get attenuated.
- Swami Krishnananda
