Immortal Self.

There is a maker for a pot or a table. So, there must be a creator for this marvellous world also. That creator is GOD.

God is the wire-puller (Sutradhara) standing behind the machine of this world. He is the indweller of your heart. He presides over all actions (Karma-dhyaksha). He is the dispenser of the fruits of your actions. Live in God by singing His name, repeating His Mantra and surrendering the fruits of your actions unto Him.

The Lord abides in every creature. Behold the Lord in all objects, in all manifestations. He is in the breath, in the voice, in the eyes. He is the Life of your life, Soul of your soul. Make no distinction between a Hindu and a Mussalman, a Protestant and a Catholic, a Saivite and a Vaishnavite.

Within you is the hidden God. Within you is the immortal soul. Within you is the inexhaustible spiritual treasure. Within you is the fountain of joy and happiness. Within you is the ocean of bliss. Look within for the happiness you have sought in vain in the perishable sensual objects. Rest peacefully in your own Atma and drink the nectar of Immortality.

Insure your life with God. Depend upon Him alone. All other insurance companies will fail, but this Divine Company will never fail. You need not pay any premium to this Divine Company. You will have to love God only. You will have to give Him your heart.

Satyam (truth) is the seed. Brahmacharya (celibacy) is the root. Meditation is the shower. Santi (peace) is the flower. Moksha (salvation) is the fruit. Therefore, speak truth. Practise Brahmacharya and meditation. Cultivate Santi. You will surely attain the final emancipation or freedom from the trammels of births and deaths and enjoy eternal bliss, supreme peace, perennial joy and immortality.

Surrender everything unto Him. Place your ego at His feet and be at ease. He will take complete charge of you. Let Him mould you in any way He likes. Let Him do exactly as He wills. He will remove all defects and weaknesses. He will play beautifully in this body flute. Hear the marvellous music of the flute of the Lord-the mysterious music of the soul-and rejoice.

Peace is a divine attribute. It is a quality of the soul. It cannot remain with greedy persons. It fills the pure heart. It is a sweet companion of sages and Yogins. It deserts the lustful. It runs away from the selfish. It is an ornament of a Paramahamsa.

"As you think, so you become." This is the immutable psychological law. Your thoughts make your life. You can choose your thoughts. You can choose your mode of thinking. You can make your life as you choose. If you entertain evil thoughts, you will lead a miserable life. If you cultivate sublime thoughts, you will attain Godhead.

May you all prosper gloriously! May you all lead the divine life singing Hari's Name, serving the poor and the sick with Atma Bhava, sharing what you have with others and melting the mind in the Lord through silent meditation!

Chapter 5

 

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 1.Twenty Spiritual Instructions
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 1.Twenty Spiritual Instructions, 1. Get up at 4 a.m. daily. This is Brahma Muhurta which is extremely favourable for meditation on God at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 2.Resolves
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 2.Resolves, The spiritual path is thorny, precipitous and rugged. Temptations will assail you. Your will, sometimes, will become weak. Sometimes, there will be downfall or a backward pull by the dark Asuric antagonistic forces. In order to strengthen your will and resist the unfavourable currents, you will have to make, again and again, fresh resolves. This will help you to ascend the ladder of Yoga, vigorously and quickly. Here are some resolves. Stick to them tenaciously. Watch the mind carefully and keep a daily spiritual record at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 3.Messages of Vairagya
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 3.Messages of Vairagya, There is not even an iota of bliss in this world. Every thing is illusory in this universe. All worldly things are generative of pain only and fraught with all dangers. This life is ephemeral. There is nothing so baneful as this life which is perishable in its nature. What beauty is there to be enjoyed in this body which is composed of blood and flesh and which has a tendency to rot? Even the most virulent poison is no poison but the sensual object is truly so. The former kills only one body, whereas, the latter destroys many bodies in successive births at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 4.Live Wisely
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 4.Live Wisely, Minus skin, minus dress, minus ornaments, physical beauty is nothing. Just imagine for a moment that the outer skin is removed. You will have to stand with a long stick to drive away crows and vultures. Physical beauty is superficial, illusory and fading. It is skin-deep only. Do not be deluded by external appearances. It is the jugglery of Maya. Go to the source-Atman, the Beauty of beauties, the Everlasting beauty at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 5.Message of Brahmacharya
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 5.Message of Brahmacharya, Brahmacharya is purity in thought, word and deed. Brahmacharya includes the control of not only the sex or reproductive Indriya but also other Indriyas. This is the definition of Brahmacharya in a broad sense. Brahmacharya is of two kinds viz., physical and mental. Physical is control of the body and mental is the control of evil thoughts. In mental Brahmacharya even a lustful thought will never enter the mind. Freedom from all sexual thoughts in waking as well as dreaming states is strict Brahmacharya at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 6.Upadesamritam
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 6.Upadesamritam, In the name of Tapascharya (austerities) do not spoil your health. Constant repetition of 'Vairagya Dindima' of Sri Sankara, with feeling, study of 'Vairagya Sataka' of Bhartrihari and 'Vairagya Prakarana' of Yoga-Vasishtha, reflection on the Slokas of Gita which treat of Vairagya, and finding out the defects in the sensual life will surely intensify your Vairagya at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 7.Practical Spiritual Instructions
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 7.Practical Spiritual Instructions, Thou art divine. Live up to it. Feel and realise thy divine nature. Do not murmur when you get difficulties, troubles, tribulations and diseases. Every difficulty is an opportunity for you to develop your will and power of endurance and to grow strong. Conquer the difficulties one by one. This is the beginning of a new life, a life of expansion, glory and divine splendour. Aspire and draw. Grow. Expand. Build up all positive qualities, the Daiva-Sampatti, viz., fortitude, patience and courage, that are dormant in you. Tread the spiritual path and realise: 'I am the Immortal Self' at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 8.Live in God
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 8.Live in God, Immortal Self. There is a maker for a pot or a table. So, there must be a creator for this marvellous world also. That creator is GOD. God is the wire-puller (Sutradhara) standing behind the machine of this world. He is the indweller of your heart. He presides over all actions (Karma-dhyaksha). He is the dispenser of the fruits of your actions. Live in God by singing His name, repeating His Mantra and surrendering the fruits of your actions unto Him at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 9.Universal Love
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 9.Universal Love, The only Sara Vastu in this world is Prema or love. It is eternal, infinite and undecaying. Physical love is passion or Moha or infatuation. Universal love is divine love. Cosmic love, Visva Prema, universal love are synonymous terms. God is Love. Love is God. Selfishness, greed, egoism, vanity, pride and hatred contract the heart and stand in the way of developing universal love at energyenhancement.org
  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 10.Practice of Meditation
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 10.Practice of Meditation, Meditation is the only royal road to the attainment of salvation or Moksha. Meditation kills all pains, sufferings, the three kinds of Taapas (fevers) and the five Kleshas (sorrows). Meditation gives the vision of unity. Meditation produces sense of oneness. Meditation is an aeroplane that helps the aspirant to soar high in the realms of eternal bliss and everlasting peace. It is a mysterious ladder that connects earth and heaven and takes the aspirant to the immortal abode of Brahman at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 11.Thy Real Nature
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 11.Thy Real Nature, Religion is faith for knowing and worshipping God. It is not a matter for discussion at a club table. It is the perception and realisation of the True Self. It is the fulfilment of the deepest craving in man. Therefore, hold religion as the goal of your life. Live every second of your life for its realisation. Life without religion is real death at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 12.Divine Life
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 12.Divine Life, Divine life is life in God or the Immortal Soul. He who leads the divine life is free from cares, worries, anxieties, miseries, sufferings and tribulations. He attains immortality, perfection, freedom, independence, eternal peace, supreme bliss and perennial joy. He radiates joy, peace and light everywhere at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 13.Divine Message
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 13.Divine Message, Pure as the snow of the Himalayas, bright as sunlight, expansive as the sky, all-pervading as the ether; unfathomable as the ocean, cool as the waters of the Ganges, is the Immortal Atman-the substratum for this world, body, mind and Prana. Nothing is sweeter than this Atman at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 14.Self-Analysis
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 14.Self-Analysis, Daily self-analysis or self-examination is an indispensable requisite. Then alone can you remove your defects and can grow rapidly in spirituality. A gardener watches the young plants very carefully. He removes the weeds daily. He puts a strong fence around them. He waters them at the proper time. Then alone they grow beautifully and yield fruits quickly. Even so, you should find out your defects through daily introspection and self-analysis and then eradicate them through suitable methods. If one method fails, you must adopt a combined method. If prayer fails, you should take recourse to Satsanga or association with the wise, Pranayama, meditation, dietetic regulation, enquiry, etc. You should destroy not only big waves of pride, hypocrisy, lust, anger, etc., that manifest on the surface of the conscious mind, but also their subtle impressions which lurk in the corners of the subconscious mind. Then only are you perfectly safe at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 15.Importance of Keeping a Spiritual Diary
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 15.Importance of Keeping a Spiritual Diary, The keeping up of a daily spiritual diary is an indispensable requisite and of paramount importance. Those who are already in the habit of keeping it know its incalculable advantages. Diary is a whip for goading the mind towards God. It shows the way to freedom and eternal bliss. It is your Guru. It is the eye-opener. It develops the Manana-Sakti or the power of reflection. It will help you to destroy all your evil qualities and to be regular in your spiritual practices. If you regularly maintain a diary, you will get solace, peace of mind and quick progress in the spiritual path. Those who desire to grow in morality and spirituality, those who wish to evolve rapidly must keep a daily record of their actions at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 16.Spiritual Diary
    Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 16.Spiritual Diary, 1. When did you get up from bed? 'Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.' You must get up at 4 a.m., and practise Japa and meditation. The meditative state of the mind will come by itself without exertion at this period at energyenhancement.org

  • Sri Swami Sivananda, Essence of Yoga Chapter 5: Spiritual Sadhana, 17.The Spiritual Diary
