SCIENCE OF REALITY

Swami Sivananda

Self-knowledge is the best of all forms of knowledge. It is the consummation of all sciences. Knowledge of Atma is the key that unlocks the door to Eternity. Wisdom of the Self combines in itself both existence and illumination. Therefore it is characterized as self-luminous. The supreme good cannot be attained without a knowledge of the Supreme Self. The knower of Brahman transcends all imperfections and bondage. When the Truth is realized, there remains nothing to be known. Salvation from birth and death is the result of the realization of the Cosmic Being.

SADHANA
Sadhana is the purpose for which we have come to this plane. It is this earth-plane alone
upon which Sadhana for Self-realisation can be done.
Sadhana means right living—living a God-oriented life. Root out falsehood from your
heart. Become an embodiment of Truth.
You are ever-pure and spotless. Express that ever-pure, spotless nature in your thoughts,
words, in the pattern of your desires and inner motives in your daily life. Practise that, live that,
radiate that—that is Sadhana. You are the Truth, the Supreme Reality. Express this Truth.
Let not your life be a contradiction of what you are. Be WHAT YOU ARE. This is the
essential Sadhana. It is the direct path to live a divine life, to be divine in thought, word and deed.
The supreme Sadhana is a life lived divinely where every act, thought and word is
permeated with the divine quality.
Be victorious over circumstances. Even when you are working do not leave this inner
awareness. Assert it at every moment in all things. Be the conqueror of your mind, the subduer of
your desires and a master of your destiny; for you are the Master.
May you develop noble character and walk the path of the good and pure, the path of Truth,
purity and goodness, and move towards that glorious goal which awaits you. This is your birthright
which you can claim and experience in this very birth. Do not postpone it. Be up and doing.
Swami Chidananda.

I do not any more see many philosophies and many religions; they just don�t exist for me.

SCIENCE OF REALITY

Swami Sivananda

The knowledge of Brahman can be gained through study of Upanishads, meditation and contemplation, Sravana, Manana and Nididhyasana of the Vedanta Vakyas. Brahman is revealed in a deep supramental experience. Knowledge of Brahman is the highest Dharma. It is, verily, the foremost of all sciences, for through it one attains immortality. Knowledge of Atma is a priceless treasure. Discrimination (Viveka) is the key to open this great treasure. He who has rightly ascertained the nature of Brahman from the wisdom of the Vedanta and worked out his Karmas, is liberated after death.

Without knowing your source and origin and your ultimate destination, life cannot be meaningfully lived.

SCIENCE OF REALITY

Swami Sivananda

Brahma-Vidya or the science of Brahman is universal. It belongs to all peoples at all times. The knowledge of Brahman is not the monopoly of any particular country, sect or race. Undertake an enquiry into the nature of things for acquiring the knowledge of Brahman. The goal of man is freedom from limitation. Biahma-Jnana removes all sorrow and delusion. Knowledge of Brahman is the summum bonum of all life. The highest duty of man is to know Brahman or the Eternal. The four Vedas and six Vedangas are secondary knowledge (Apara Vidya), while superior knowledge is that by which the Absolute is known or realized.

If you entertain some dislike for anybody it also spreads its roots deep in the subconscious mind and gradually grows into a big tree. Your duty, therefore, lies in loving one and all and in hating none.

- Swami Sivananda

NECESSITY, BASE AND SUPREME FACTOR OF YOGA
Yoga bases its origin upon the necessity felt by man to rid himself of all sorrow and
suffering and to free himself forever from bondage brought about by finite existence and to attain
final victory over all fear, even over death itself. To this great problem, Yoga comes as the practical
solution. Yoga plainly states that man is essentially of the nature of Bliss, Perfection, Peace and
Freedom. The loss of his awareness of that oneness with the infinite, all-perfect source of his being

is the very cause of his involvement in this earthly process called life. To regain a true awareness
and to realise once again his everlasting oneness with the Divine is actually the practice of Yoga.
The means of overcoming the defects and imperfections of this earth-life and thus experiencing
union with the Supreme constitutes its structure. Yoga shows how to overcome the imperfections

of the lower nature and to gain complete mastery over the mind and senses.

THE GREAT LIBERATION

Swami Sivananda

Moksha is not what is to be experienced in a different place or at a future time. It is attained in this very world when Self-knowledge dawns. Oneness of existence is Reality and the realization of this Reality is Moksha. Liberation is attained by looking within, steadying and purifying the mind, and resting in one's own Satchidananda Atma. Realize that thou art Brahman which is beyond time and space, which is supreme, changeless, eternal, infinite, all-pervading, unconditioned, indivisible, which is Consciousness-Bliss. Knowledge of Brahman is only means to destroy ignorance and attain immortality.

This illustrates the modern trend of scientific minds. So much of Tamas or inertia enters into
man’s nature as a curse of luxuries and comforts that a time comes when he hesitates, even to switch
on a button!
Instead of applying the intellect for inventing more and more physical comforts and
machinery even to do your daily work, let this precious faculty be utilised in discriminating the real
from the unreal. Let the intellect be directed in the quest of the permanent, eternal, imperishable and
all-blissful Atman. Thus make life transformed to enjoy real and undecaying happiness born of
divine communion. Finally rest in the abode of supreme blessedness devoid of all fears and
sufferings.
Swami Chidananda.

All humanity is inside you, with you, within you, and has taken possession of you. The principle of every individual in the world is also inside you, so that on different occasions you can manifest the character of any person in this world.

THE GREAT LIBERATION Swami Sivananda Liberation consists in freedom from the imaginary ideas of the world and the realization of one's own true spiritual nature. Freedom from the thraldom of mind, desires, love and hatred is emancipation. There is no ego in Moksha. Mukta or the liberated sage is not egoistic. Even the astral body is ultimately cast off. This state of existence is the Absolute. There are no grades or varieties in Mukti or Moksha. In Moksha, there is neither individuality nor collectivity. Moksha is homogeneous. Moksha is the very nature of Brahman. It is a state of eternal peace and bliss. Live all your life as a continuous offering at the feet of the ever present Divine Being. - Swami Chidananda Chant the Maha Mantra Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare BE HAPPY. https://sekhar789.blogspot.com/2017/07/practical-guide-to-yoga-swami.html

Radhe krishns.

Have a blessed day,

THE GREAT LIBERATION Swami Sivananda Moksha is the state wherein are not to be found the mundane objects, their knower or the knowledge, but which is yet the source of all these three. Release from the bonds of the world is what every man inwardly craves, knowingly or unknowingly. It can be attained even in this life. Knowledge of Brahman and Moksha are synonymous. Liberation means the release from the individuality of the Jiva and its merging in the Infinite. Liberation follows total transformation of man's human nature into divine nature. Liberation does not consist of the individual soul going to Brahman or of Brahman coming to the individual soul. Liberation is Self-knowledge, removing of thy veil, Spiritual diary is a whip to goad the mind towards God and Sadhana and at the same time you can find out at a glance the Sadhana done in the previous month. - Swami Sivananda Increase the stuff of Sattva by daily prayer, worship, Bhajan, Kirtan and Japa-Yajna. This Japa-Yajna is the surest, safest and easiest path specially suitable for Kali Yuga, this iron-age. Sometimes the mind would refuse to put forth effort on account of inner Tamas (inertia) and lethargy. Don’t yield to this inertia. Remove it by constructive activity, study and Kirtan. Remove slothness by being “Up and Doing.” Swami Chidananda.

THE GREAT LIBERATION

Swami Sivananda

When the unchangeable Brahman is realized, and when ignorance is destroyed, final emancipation is attained. It is only through dauntless energy that the supreme wealth of Moksha can be acquired. True emancipation results from the disenthralment of the mind. The liberated soul enters God in Moksha, just as the owner of a house enters his home. Through the sacrifice of the ego, the goal of life, Self-realization, is attained. This is the loyal road to Moksha. The state of Moksha is not attainable elsewhere but here on this earth. Moksha is freedom. Moksha is eternity. It is not a status to be produced or newly acquired.

Through Paropakara (doing good to others) you worship the one Supreme Lord residing in
the hearts of all, for “Eko Devah Sarvabhuteshu Gudhah”—the one Lord hides in all beings.
So bear sympathy for the poor and try to see Him through the humblest of His creation.
As to our Antaranga Jivan (internal living), it should be one of Yogic life, living in constant
awareness of your divine relationship.
Swami chidananda,

If you want to reach God, you have to think like God. You cannot go on thinking like a foolish person and then attain God.
