UNIVERSAL LOVE

Swami Sivananda
There is no lasting bliss in perishable objects. In the infinite alone is true bliss. The Yoga of devotion points the way to attain the infinite. It cleanses the heart, steadies the mind, elevates the emotions, sublimates the impulses. It transmutes base desires into spiritual urges. It transfigures the animal in man into a divine being. It turns one's mind from the miseries of the world to the protecting feet of the Lord. Vedanta without devotion is dry intellection. Pure love is the spontaneous outpouring of affection and devotion, not only for the Divine, but also for all

 
Always take God’s Name. His Divine Name is your strength. He is your Father and Mother.
Take shelter
Swami Chidanana'
We have the usual opinion that we live in a world of undesirables, a world which abounds in that which is not agreeable and which is a source of pain and anxiety throughout our existence in the world. There is nothing that we can choose here as something which is dear to our heart in every sense, at all times and in every condition , Swami Krishnananda

PLAY OF EGO

Swami Sivananda
You will have to muster this ego through constant practice of self-subordination and humility with wisdom. One of the main objectives of Karma Yoga is the eradication of egotism. In the long run, if you happen to slacken your vigilance, you will be filled with the so-called spiritual egotism. You will not take interest in any form of work unless your name is associated with it. Even though you might wish to disseminate spiritual knowledge, you will be always desirous of self-glory and try to justify it through all sorts of childish arguments. Nothing can be worse in the life of a spiritual seeker. Therefore, be vigilant always.
There may be ups and downs, storms and stresses, smiles and tears, as you go on living your
life amidst its many vicissitudes, trials and tribulations. Do not lose faith but press on with a firm
conviction that God wants to mould you in His own image through sufferings and tribulations. Pray
fervently and wholeheartedly.
Swami Chidananda

Life is described as a vale of sorrows. It is described as a burning pit of live coals, a well of grief, and even our lightning-like flashes of passing satisfactions are described as only deceptive forms taken by sorrows. This is indeed a matter for deep consideration, and is the meditation of the spirit of man.

PLAY OF EGO

Swami Sivananda
The working of egotism is very mysterious. It is difficult to detect its various ways of working. It needs a subtle and sharp intellect to find out its operation. If you practise introspection daily in silence, you will be able to find out its mysterious ways of working. This ego likes its own birth-place and province, the people of the province, its own mother-tongue, its own relations and friends, its own ways of eating, mode of dressing, etc. It has its own predilections and preferences. It likes to associate its name and form with the work done, even though its nature be spiritual. 
P

ray fervently to the Lord for the descent of the Divine Light. Crave for His mercy. Weep for His separation on account of Viraha. Yearn for communion with Him. Melt the mind in the Agni of Divine Love. Burn the body in the fire of devotion. Drink the honey of Prem. Get yourself intoxicated with the wine of Divine Love. Attain immortality and eternal Bliss.

SRI RAMA NAVAMI

Swami Sivananda
Let Sri Rama be your ideal. Ideals are remembered and adored for the purpose of adopting them in your own life. The Ramnavmi celebration or the Vasanta Navaratri every year is an opportune period for us to saturate ourselves with the spirit of Lord Rama. We love and adore our ideals because we express thereby our yearning to unite with them. In our worship of God it is implied that we should be virtuous, good and perfect even as God is. Hence the wise instruction: �One should become divine in order to be able to worship God�. One cannot be a real worshipper of Lord Rama unless one makes an honest attempt to grow in the virtues that the Lord represents. On the other hand, worship of Lord Rama is itself the surest means to develop such virtues.

Swamo CHodananda

Om is not Sanskrit, English, Italian or any language. It is not a language; it is an impersonal, universal vibration. All language is inside Om, as well as all literature and all science. Just as every piece of furniture is in the tree and every ornament is in the gold bar, likewise, every language, every sound is in Om, so when we chant Om we are going to the universal origin of things. Therefore, we have to chant Om very feeling-fully in this manner.

SELF-DENIAL THROUGH SERVICE

Swami Sivananda
Many aspirants prefer to do some comfortable work such as writing, arranging books in the library, holding classes. They dislike hard work such as hewing wood, cleaning utensils and bed-pans, and nursing the sick. They consider these as menial work. They have not tried to understand the real spirit of Karma Yoga. They are yet easy-going aspirants. A real Karma Yogi will take upon his shoulders the most responsible, difficult and the most uninteresting type of work and kill his own little self just to help others. He willingly undergoes pain and suffering in order to serve and please others.

In all things you should always hold before yourself the glorious ideal of the saints and sages of the past and present. You should always judge your actions by their standards. Would Tukaram, Jnanadev, Jesus, Buddha, Sankara, Dattatreya — would they do this? If the answer is 'no', do not do it; or if it is done, resolve never to repeat it. Thus you will grow spiritually. This is the greatest pilgrimage that you have to undertake and complete successfully.

SELF-DENIAL THROUGH SERVICE

Swami Sivananda
Develop keen enthusiasm for detached, selfless service. You must plunge yourself into selfless activity. You must work incessantly for the good of others. You must nurse the sick with the feeling that you are nursing the body of God. Gradually you will understand the glory and splendour of unselfish work. You will become a changed being with a purified heart and an enlightened mind. If you ignore your own pleasures and comforts for the sake of helping others, you are really a worthy,
 student in the path of spirituality. 

Have an amiable, loving, social nature. Have sympathy, adaptability, self-restraint, tolerance, love and mercy. Adjust yourself to the ways and habits of others. Be balanced even when you are insulted, when others use harsh words against you. Have equal mind in pleasure and pain, heat and cold.

WHAT IS EGOTISM?

Swami Sivananda
Ego or egotism or egoism or Ahamkara is the self-asserting principle of the individual soul which gives him a sense of distinction, separation, differentiation, and puts up a barrier between himself and others. It is the ego which has created the idea of separateness from God. It is the veiling power of Maya which keeps man in ignorance. It is the ego which is the root cause for human suffering and birth and death. The ego identifies itself with the body, mind and senses. Wherever you find the play of egotism, there are "mineness," selfishness, likes and dislikes, lust, anger, greed, hypocrisy, pride, jealousy, delusion, arrogance, conceit, impertinence, craving, clinging to objects, attachment to name and form, the idea of agency or "doership" and "enjoyership."
Be of good cheer! Destiny by which the Merciful Providence is familiar to people, will help
your industry, your hard work, your prayers, your brave will and will soon show you a way out of
your predicament. Kindly conduct Satsangs at home. Kirtans, Bhajans, prayers—these are the great
spiritual treasures which will bring you material wealth too,
Swamo bChidananda

When you chant Om, do not think that you are making a sound through your mouth. It is not like that. It is your original source rising to the surface of your personality. It is something like a large wave in the ocean making a sound to make the ocean come up.

ANNIHILATION OF EGOTISM

Swami Sivananda
You must have a very clear understanding of the nature of the ego if you want to annihilate egotism. It is done through the eschewing of desire, craving, "mineness," "I-ness," pride and arrogance. Control of the senses plays a major part in the overcoming of egotism. Egotism assumes various subtle forms. Gross egotism is not so dangerous as the subtle forms of egotism. Institutional egotism is a subtle form of attachment. The man identifies himself with the institution and gets associated with his institution or cult or creed. He forsakes broadmindedness, catholicity, mental charity.

When it is the will of God that He must grace an individual soul in this Samsara in a special way, then He out of infinite compassion manifests in the life of that Jivatma as Mantra.

ANNIHILATION OF EGOTISM

Swami Sivananda
The process of the annihilation of egotism plays a major part in all spiritual practices. It is the barrier that must be pulverized if the individual soul has to merge in the cosmic whole. No amount of Sadhana will be of any use unless this is done. Cultivation of humility alone is not indicative of the eradication of egotism. It is a long process, and a very difficult one. In Karma Yoga it is done through self-effacing service of others, by placing the interests and the welfare of other people above one's own; in Bhakti Yoga it is effected through self-surrender; in Raja Yoga through merger of the individuality of the meditator in the meditated upon, i.e., God; in Jnana Yoga it is attained through the realization of the four Vedantic formulae: Aham Brahma Asmi, -Tat Twam Asi, Prajnanum Brahma, Ay am Atma Brahma. 

Attachment is indicative of the feeling that objective possession brings happiness. This idea has to be removed from the mind. Happiness is not in the objects but in one′s own Atman.

- Swami Sivananda
Be of good cheer! Destiny by which the Merciful Providence is familiar to people, will help
your industry, your hard work, your prayers, your brave will and will soon show you a way out of

Adaptability, amity and understanding, a little of self-denial and co-operation, help in the promotion of peace in the house. All these can be effected through Karma Yoga. Duty for duty's sake, without expectation which is the bane of worldly life, without inordinate likes and dislikes, without selfish attachment, offering all actions to the Lord as worship done as an instrument in His hands, should be the ideal. Glory to selfless workers! May you all rejoice in bliss eternal by doing selfless service and singing the Lord's name!

God alone is. There is nothing other than Him. Whatever exists in this world is pervaded by that Supreme Being within and without. Therefore, all the time, we are experiencing God and God alone.

Swami Sivananda
Karma Yoga is the best Yoga for the modern man. It enables you to attain God-realization quickly. King Janaka was a dynamic Karma Yogi. Mahatma Gandhi had exalted himself through Karma Yoga. There is in the daily routine of life a vast field for everyone to purify and elevate oneself. Even in family life, Karma Yoga is an essential requisite. If everybody was selfish, there will be no peace in the home. Strong attachment breeds possessiveness which is a selfish trait, and is a negation of true love,

Appeal, knock and you will be heard. The door shall be opened unto you. You need not seek far and wide for Him. He is in your heart. He has His dwelling there.
Swami SIVANANDA
Calmly if you reflect over your life and its circumstances, you would find that you enjoy
better ease and a better situation than those that are meted out by the Hand of Providence to
thousands around us. The best way out of the present difficulties is more faith in the Divine, greater
industry, more hard work, and a continued appeal to the Divine to use your energies more and more,
and afford you unasked the necessaries of life in greater measure. I am conducting special prayers
for you and I am sure the Divine Lord will not only enable you to bear your difficulties with a
cheerfulness and a calmness and a peace that belong to spiritual aspirants like you, but also to give
you opportunities for increasing your income, for overcoming your financial odds.

The practice of Karma Yoga is a sure means to develop your devotion to the Lord and to attain the Vedantic realization of, oneness. Without its practice no one can even dream of attaining either Bhakti or Jnana even through years of effort. Service is Bhakti expressed through action. The true expresion of love is not through words, but through service. Jnana or the oneness of life is experienced through service of the one Self in all. In the plant of Karma Yoga blossoms the flowers of Bhakti Yoga and Jnana Yoga. '

Energy neither colour, nor sound, nor touch, nor taste, nor smell. It looks like these because of our receiving sets: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, etc. So when we chant Om, we are diving deep into the very substance of the whole universe.

Tolerance, equanimity, kindness, mercy, fellowship, adaptability, humility, goodness of heart, and broadmindedness can be cultivated only by the practice of Karma Yoga. The raw diamond requires cutting and polishing before it gives out its real luminous colour. Even so, the raw aspirant requires constant rubbing and polishing through service and contact with the people of different temperaments. If he can please others even amidst trying circumstances, if he can keep up a cheerful countenance in spite of difficulties, if he can maintain equanimity in the bustle of a city anad can acquire concentration of mind, it clearly proves that he has outgrown his external environments and that he is ready for spiritual enlightenment.

Wisely guide the mind, educate and train it in such a way that its thought processes are of the right quality and are taking you in the right direction.
