 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.

- Swami Chidananda

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.

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.

IGNORANCE LEADS TO BONDAGE

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.
