Amrita Putra!

Are you always peaceful? Are you noble? Do you possess self-restraint? Are you endowed with divine virtues? Are you free from ignorance? Do you possess knowledge of the Self? Have you got illumination? Have you realised the immortal, pure Self? How do you stand before these questions? If you have not got these things, then come, sit down and listen! Here is the message of Amrita for you all! Even if you practise a particle of this, you will go beyond death, sorrow and pain.

Meditate always: "I am pure consciousness, I am Sat-Chit-Ananda Brahman. I am immutable, self-effulgent, immortal Self. I am the silent witness of the three states, viz., waking state, dream state and deep sleep state. I am distinct from the body, mind, Prana and senses. I am distinct from the five sheaths". You will soon attain Self-realisation. You will attain knowledge of the Self (Brahma Jnana).

It is bondage when you are attached to your wife, son, property or body, when you take the body as the pure Self. It is liberation when you are not attached to any object of this world, when you identify yourself with the pure, immortal Atman.

Whenever there is Kama (desire), there is no Rama; whenever there is Rama there is no Kama. Whenever there is desire there is the world. Therefore, go beyond desire by cultivating discrimination (Viveka) and dispassion (Vairagya) and meditating on Brahman or the Supreme Self and be happy.

Live without the feeling of 'I-ness,' and 'mine-ness' and attachment. Restrain the senses. Observe the rules of right conduct. Get purity of heart. Hear the truth. Abide in the Self. Be happy.

As soon as you realise that you are not this body, you become free from sorrow and death. You are free from the bondage of Karma, from the fetters of desires, from the mirage of this mundane life and its concomitant evils and miseries.

'Soul' or 'Supreme Self' or 'Atma' or 'Brahman' is that abiding, constantly existing and imperishable entity which is the basis of the world, which is indivisible, self-luminous, unchanging and all-pervading, which is the silent witness or SakShi of the three states, viz., waking, dream and deep sleep. The knower of this soul or Atma attains immortality and enters the abode of bliss and nectar.

Brahman is real and eternal. This body is unreal and perishable. From the knowledge of Self (Atma) and not-self (Anatma) springs the stream of immortality or the ancient wisdom of the seers of the Upanishads.

Atma is the immortal substance or essence in man. Atma is the origin of thoughts, desires and reasonings. Atma is spiritual because it is beyond matter and mind. It must be immortal because it is spiritual. It is beyond time, space and causation. It is beginningless, endless, causeless and infinite.

If you realise this immortal soul which is hidden in your heart and all these forms, if the knots of Avidya (ignorance), Kama (desire) and Karma (action) are rent asunder, if the chain of ignorance, viz., ignorance, non-discrimination, egoism, likes and dislikes, Karma, body, etc., is broken, you will be freed from the rounds of births and deaths and enter the city of deathlessness.

The ignorant man only runs after sensual objects and falls into the mortal coils spread round him. He lives in the midst of darkness. He falls again and again under the sway of the Lord of Death (Yama). The way to Moksha is not apparent to him. He is deluded by the sensual pleasures of this world. But the patient, thoughtful man of discrimination and dispassion does not crave for the illusory pleasures of this world. He meditates on the Supreme Self and attains eternal bliss and immortality.

Moksha is the summum bonum of life. Moksha is the fulfilment of the life's purpose. Life ends in the earth plane when you attain Moksha, or liberation from births and deaths. The realisation of your real object in life is freedom or Moksha. Moksha bestows on you eternal life of undecaying bliss and perennial joy. Moksha is not annihilation. Moksha is the annihilation of this little, self-arrogating ego only. Moksha is realisation of the identity of the individual soul with the Supreme Soul. By annihilating this little self, you possess the whole of true universality. You attain life eternal-a fuller life.

If you have purity of mind and concentration, you can make the mind assume any Bhava you like. If you think of mercy, your whole being will be saturated with mercy. If you think of peace, the whole being will be filled with peace.

The spiritual path is doubtless beset with various difficulties. It is a razor path. The walk in this path is like walking on the edge of a sharp razor. You will fall down several times, but you will have to rise up quickly and walk again with more zeal, boldness and cheerfulness. Every stumbling block will become a stepping-stone to success or ascent in the hill of spiritual knowledge. Every fall will give you additional strength to rise up to a great height in the ladder of Yoga. Do not lose sight of the goal. Do not miss the ideal. Do not be discouraged. You will soon get spiritual strength from within. The Indweller will guide you and push you up. All saints and sages, all prophets and seers had to pass through tremendous struggles and severe ordeals before they reached the goal. March boldly, O fair youth, and reach the goal.

It is not true that only one attained Moksha or liberation, and none else can. History bears evidence of many a Sankara having come into this world. If the past could produce Sankaras, why not the future also? What one has achieved, can be achieved by others, also. This is the immutable law of nature. Whosoever would attain the knowledge of Self like Yajnavalkya of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, like Uddalaka of Chhandogya Upanishad, will also attain Moksha or Immortality.

The way of the enlightened sages is sinless. The way to liberation or freedom or perfect happiness and peace is through perfect purity of mind and heart, of every act, of character and life, through self-restraint and control of mind, and through regular meditation on the pure self-luminous, indivisible, all-pervading Self or Atman.

If you attain Self-realisation, all doubts will be rent asunder. Supreme contentment will ever dwell in your heart. You will be purged of Rajas and Tamas. You will be ever peaceful and happy. Therefore struggle hard to attain this rare state of supreme blessedness in this very birth.

The flame of a lamp destroys immense darkness. Even so knowledge of Self destroys ignorance or Avidya-the root-cause of human sufferings and tribulations. Therefore, attain the knowledge of the Self, get illumination and go about happily.

What is that by knowing which everything else will be known? What is that by attaining which there will be no hankering after any other thing? What is that by realising which one becomes immortal, fearless, desireless and rests in everlasting peace and happiness? It is Brahman or Atma or the ultimate Truth which is the summum bonum of life. It is the Bhuma or intelligence or the unconditioned. You can get real happiness, only by attaining this Bhuma or the Highest Self.

May you all live in the spirit of this message of Amrita! May you all be equipped with the four means of salvation through the grace of the Lord! May you all attain Self-realisation in this very birth!

    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 3.Message of Amrita, Amrita Putra! Are you always peaceful? Are you noble? Do you possess self-restraint? Are you endowed with divine virtues? Are you free from ignorance? Do you possess knowledge of the Self? Have you got illumination? Have you realised the immortal, pure Self? How do you stand before these questions? If you have not got these things, then come, sit down and listen! Here is the message of Amrita for you all! Even if you practise a particle of this, you will go beyond death, sorrow and pain at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 4.Vedanta
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 4.Vedanta, The term Veda is derived from the Sanskrit root. 'Vid'-to know. 'Anta' means end. Thus Vedanta literally signifies 'end of wisdom.' Philosophy is called Vedanta, because, it explains what that end is and how to achieve it. Vedanta is the religion of the Vedas or the Upanishads. It is the only universal, eternal religion. It is the essence of the teachings of the Srutis at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 5.Message of Gita
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 5.Message of Gita, The Atma is not born nor does He ever die. He is unborn, eternal, changeless, ancient and inexhaustible. He is not killed when the body is killed. He slays not, nor is he slain. A Sthitaprajna or Jivanmukta is free from desires, longings, fears, mineness, 'I-ness' and attachment. He is satisfied in his own self. He is indifferent amidst sensual pleasures. He is not elated by getting desirable objects. He has a poised mind at all times and under all conditions. He is centred in his own self at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 6.Essence of Yoga-Vasishtha
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, If the four sentinels that wait at the gates of Moksha (salvation), viz., Santi (peace), Vichara (Atmic enquiry), Santosha (contentment), and Satsanga (association with the wise), are befriended, then there will be no obstacle in the attainment of the final emancipation. Even if one of them is befriended, then he will introduce you to the rest of his companions at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 7.Message of Wisdom
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 7.Message of Wisdom, The desire to know the Brahman springs only in the person whose mind is pure, who is free from desires and who is free from the deeds done in this birth and in the previous ones, becomes disgusted with the external, ephemeral perishable objects at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 8.Message of Peace
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 8.Message of Peace, The kingdom of peace is beyond all speech and thought. Peace is not merely the absence of noise, tumult, strife or quarrels, controversies or disputes. It is not a condition or environment from which all undesirable elements are removed. This peace is not an inert passive state. It is not a hypnotic trance. It is not a negative physical condition. It is a positive state of spiritual attainment. It is your centre, ideal and goal. It is perfect awareness. It is a magnificent, indescribable state in which the pure soul enjoys the highest divine bliss and transcendental divine knowledge. You will become absolutely fearless and desireless by drinking this divine nectar of peace. You will be in communion with the Supreme Soul or Atma by attaining this peace. In this state of peace there are no yesterdays or tomorrows, no sunset or daybreak-there is eternal sunshine. It can hardly be acquired from external sources. It can be reached only by patient spiritual practices at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 9.Philosophy and Meditation on 'Om'
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 6: Philosophy And Vedanta, 9.Philosophy and Meditation on 'Om', Brahman or the Supreme Being is the highest of all. Om is His name. So, Om is to be adored. Om is everything. Om is the symbol of Brahman. It is the word of power. It is the sacred monosyllable. It is the essence of the Vedas. It is the boat to take you to the other chore of fearlessness and immortality at energyenhancement.org
