 MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 2031

Radhe krishna,

Have a blessed day,

HUMILITY

Swami Sivananda

Self-righteousness is one of the worst traits. It is more indicative of the whetting of one's own vanity than the good of others. Forcing of one's views on someone is not the job of the aspirant. He should impress and inspire through his own example. The ideal of humility constantly kept alive by a ceaseless exercise of it in service is the only sure armour against vanity and self-seeking. It should protect the striving seeker from the pitfalls of pride and Vedantic arrogance. He who effaces his little self through a life of motiveless, humble and loving service with Narayana-bhav or Brahma-bhav (attitude of worship of God), obtains a unique happiness and peace thereby. May all, therefore, realize the supreme importance of cultivating noble virtues, through selfless service. May all perceive the indispensable necessity of actively exercising them and readily and cheerfully serving as Nishkamya Karma Yogis!

The path of Yoga is no doubt difficult. One has to come across various temperaments. It is
not unoften that the student of Yoga is confronted with disappointments, failures and set-backs. The
earnest aspirant sees in all these the hidden hand of the Lord, an opportunity to perfect the imperfect
nature. Hence all such so-called obstacles are converted into opportunities to triumph over our

nature. Patience is necessary.

Swami Chidananda

It is the intensity of the desires in the mind that causes the intensity of the heaving of the breath. The more disturbed we are in our mind, the more rough and uneven is our breathing. There is no harmony in the inhaling and the expulsion of the breath in a person who is emotionally disturbed and who is in a state of tension inwardly.

- Swami Krishnananda
