Twelve Epistles Of Sivananda

I

Perfection In Yoga

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

The Dynamics Of The Driving Force

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

True Charity

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 Process Of Yoga

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 Foundation Of Yoga

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

Essence Of Spiritual Life

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

Thou Art That

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

Aids To Self-Realisation

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

The Acme Of Devotion

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 Yoga Of Synthesis

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 Path To Peace

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

Faith Draws Grace

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.
