FOUNDATION OF SPIRITUAL LIFE

Swami Sivananda

A 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

SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS

Swami Sivananda

The state of Samadhi is all bliss, joy and peace. All mental activities cease in the Nirvikalpa or the highest Samadhi, there being no difference between subject and object. There are various stages of Samadhi, with modifications and without, with individuality and without, qualitatively Sattwik in nature and beyond Sattwa, the lower leading to the higher to the highest. Samadhi is not an emotional enthusiasm or an exhilarating feeling. It is direct, unique, intuitive experience of spiritual consciousness. It is not an experience that can be attained through a little practice. To attain Samadhi one should be rooted in purity, and must have a high degree of progress in meditation. Stupor is not Samadhi; inertia is not Samadhi. It is a positive awareness. 

Sing the Holy Name. It is the cure of all ills. If you are attached to the Lord, you will be released from the attachments that bind you and pull you down.

- Swami Sivananda

There is infinite Shakti in Ram Nam. Rama Nama is the remedy for all ills. Therefore, let the

sacred Name of the Lord be ever upon your lips

Swami Chidananda

SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES

Swami Sivananda

Progress is indicated by the lustre in the eyes; brilliance in the countenance; moderation in talk, sleep and eating, and naturally of defecation and micturition; control over mind and senses; selfless ness; abstinence from all kinds of injury, through thought, word or deed; wisdom; detachment; absence of laziness and depression; alertness of mind; catholicity of outlook; strict adherence to the path of truth; eagerness to meditate for a long time; and complete lack of worldliness. There will be disinclination to indulge in worldly company; there will be love for all beings, and a growing feeling that all forms are of the Lord. There will be absence of dislike for any creature, even to those who despise and insult. There will be strength of mind to meet danger; and calamities, to bear insult and injury, to rise above likes and dislikes.

He who has no control over his senses and is a victim to his greed, lust and anger, is a miserable man. He cannot have peace even for a second. His life is a hopeless failure.

- Swami Sivananda

Do all your work as a worship or as an offering unto the Lord. Repeat the Name of the Lord
mentally all the time. Remembrance and worship are the potent means of drawing His grace.
Whatever may be your occupation, wherever you may go or travel, constantly remember Him and

offer all that you do as worship unto Him. You will soon attain Divine Grace.

Swami Chidananda

VISIONS IN MEDITATION Swami Sivananda Some seekers may not have any vision at all, but they will be progressing in the spiritual path. Sometimes pressure on the retina, through concentration, also causes vision. A highly emotional aspirant, with a fertile imagination, could also experience various visions. They are by themselves of no value to spiritual progress. One could see visions and yet be perfectly worldly. The sure indication of progress are the quality of character, balance of mind, purity of heart, possessionlessness, dedication to spiritual life Live in the awareness of God. Seek the company of saints. The company of saints will inspire you and you will be filled with noble thoughts. They help you to contact God. God is the only thing that is worth seeking in this world. Therefore, cling to his Divine Name. Swami Chidananda The sensory perceptions also are activated by mental cognitions only. There is an internal operation going on which energises the sense organs and drives this chariot of the body with the velocity of these horses of the senses in the direction of a set of objects to be acquired or avoided. - Swami Krishnananda CHANT MAHAMAMTRA Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare   Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/02/song-of-chidaanandsivananda-bhajan22.html

Tree is made up of all the leaves taken together. Similarly, if we imagine God to be a huge tree, then each of us is like a leaf in that divine tree. That is the truth of our existence. If we can manifest this hidden true Self within us, then our human status can become splendid, extremely beautiful and divine.
