ANNIHILATION OF EGOTISMSwami SivanandaThe 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 your predicament. Kindly conduct Satsangs at home. Kirtans, Bhajans, prayers—these are the great spiritual treasures.
