Sivananda Daily Reading for 14 October
SIVANANDA DAILY READING FOR 14 OCTOBER
GUIDE TO SADHAKAS
No complete knowledge is possible as long as there is the
relationship of subject and object. When the subject and the object
merge into absolute union there are no doubts or questions. When you
enter the consciousness of the infinite you will have no problems.
You will have no questions to ask, for the questioner and the
questioned will be one - subject and object will be dissolved.
Only when action is quickened with love and illumined with knowledge,
then the pilgrim in the spiritual path finds his destination and end.
The one you seek is he who seeks you. The essential craving of the
heart is the inner light. He who has faith, he who is tranquil and
self-controlled, he who meditates on the atman attains immortality
and eternal bliss.
So, reduce your wants to the utmost minimum. Adapt yourself to
circumstances. Never be attached to anything or to anybody. Share
what you have with others. Be ever ready to serve. Lose no < br> opportunity serve with atmabhava (feeling that the self is all).
Speak measured and sweet words. Have a burning thirst for God-
realisation. Renounce all your belongings and surrender yourself to
God.
Keep your soul strong and fresh and give it spiritual food prayer,
japa (repetition of God's name), selfless service, etc. Feed your
mind with thoughts of God, your heart with purity, your hands with
selfless service. Remain soaked in remembrance of God, with one
pointed mind. Repeat the Lord's name with faith and devotion.
Meditate on his form and surrender your heart and soul to him.
Let the thought of God or reality keep away the thought of the world.
Forget the feeling that you are so-and-so, that you are a male or a
female, by vigorous brahmacintana (contemplation of God.) Never
postpone a thing for tomorrow if it is possible for you to do it
today. Do not boast or make a show of your abilities. Be simple and
humble. Always be cheerful. Give up worries. Be indifferent to things
that do not concern you. Fly away from bad company and discussion. Be
alone for a few hours daily.
Control the emotions by discrimination and vairagya (dispassion).
Maintain equilibrium of mind always. Give up backbiting and fault
finding. Find out your own faults and we aknesses. See only good in
others. Do good to those that hate you. Shun lust, anger, egoism,
moha (delusion) and lobha (greed) like venomous cobras.
