I
Nectar’s
Child,
You can
become a perfect Yogi when you have touched the superconscious level.
Thinking
of the past and anxiety about the future is a hindrance in meditation.
When
the restless waves of the mind subside, there arises gradually divine Bliss.
The
highest good is the vision of Truth Eternal and Imperishable in your own Self.
May you
shine as a dynamic Yogi.
May the
Lord bless You.
II
Immortal
Atman,
Spirituality
is a driving force in evolution. The Jiva flame wants to join its source—Para
Brahman.
The
function of revelation begins when that of reason leaves off.
Arm
yourself with the shield of discrimination. Build up the life of calm,
strength, repose and peace through meditation.
May the
Lord bless you.
III
To be
kind and loving is charity.
To
forget and forgive some harm done to you is charity. A kind word said to a
suffering man is charity.
Even a
little meditation saves one from fear of death.
Spiritual
progress is not measured by Siddhis, or powers, but only by the depth of your
bliss in meditation.
May the
Lord bless you.
IV
The
purpose of life is the realisation of the essential Divinity in man. The
science of Yoga points out the way.
Yoga is
primarily a process of self-culture. Practice of Yoga bestows a rich and full
life.
Practice
of self-restraint, mental equipoise, truthfulness, compassion, purity,
selflessness and meditation constitutes the process of Yoga.
May the
Lord bless you.
V
Ethical
discipline is a necessary pre-requisite for philosophical enquiry and
Self-realisation.
Ethics
is an enquiry into the nature of good and is concerned with an analysis of the
concepts of good and bad, virtue and vice, right and wrong. Goodness is love in
action.
Supreme
goodness is God. Goodness is virtue, benevolence.
May the
Lord bless you.
VI
Peaceful,
auspicious and beautiful, radiant, ever-pure and immortal is the nature of the
inner consciousness, the Atman that pervades all creation.
To
realise this inner consciousness is the essence of Spiritual life.
Eliminate
all that is negative and develop all that is sublime and good.
May the
Lord bless you.
—Sivananda
VII
Self-realisation
is not a state of non-existence or mere blankness. It is here and now. It is
nothing to be attained afresh. You need not reach or attain the Atman or the Supreme
Self. You are indeed the Atman.
Self-realisation
can be attained by men and women while living in the world and while
discharging their daily duties.
May the
Lord bless you.
VIII
Brahman
or the supreme Self is realisable by this method of direct vision or intuition
though not knowable by the ordinary rational methods.
Unselfishness,
love of all beings, and love of God are the three aids to Self-realisation.
Without
appropriate preparatory discipline, one cannot understand and discover the
truths of the Upanishads or Vedanta.
May the
Lord bless you.
IX
Know
the Lord to be the One Real thing in the midst of unreal things.
Remember
God. Take His Name always. Meditate upon Him. Feel His Presence everywhere.
Trust
in the Lord. Surrender yourself to Him.
He will
bless you with peace, bliss, plenty, prosperity, immortality, health and
success.
May the
Lord bless you.
X
The
grand aim of human life is to attain God. Have one strong desire for attaining
God-realisation.
Through
a life of service, devotion, purification, charity, Sadhana and meditation,
attain the highest Self-realisation and dwell in Supreme Bliss, Paramananda.
May the
Lord bless you.
XI
The
Peace of the Eternal is abiding Peace that ever is the same. Peace is the
happy, natural state of man.
Selflessness,
desirelessness, non-attachment, freedom from mine-ness and craving, devotion to
God, self-restraint, control of senses and mind, bring happiness and peace of
mind.
Peace
of God fills your heart. Realise this supreme peace, through devotion and
meditation.
May the
Lord bless you.
XII
Neither
art, nor science, nor erudition is necessary to approach God or realise Him.
What is wanted is a pure heart with love and devotion to God, a heart
resolutely determined to apply itself to Him alone, for His sake alone and to
love Him alone.
The
foundation of spiritual life is absolute faith in God. This will draw soon
great grace from God.
May the
Lord bless you.
