Thought for the de 6th Nov


We come here to learn. This whole world you see, all life, is a university. Life teaches us through various things if we are able to see. This body is not your real self. It is an instrument that you have had to take in order to undergo this process of learning.


Swami Chidananda.




See god in All!


Your father is your visible God.

Your mother is your visible God.

The teacher is your visible God.

The guest is your visible God.

The poor are your visible God.

The whole world and all creatures in it forms of God.

Therefore, Love, Server and Respect all.


Swami Sivananda



If you want to talk, you have to make effort, exert; but for silence you do not have to try, or exert to bring it about. Why? Because it is always there; you do not have to make effort, you do not have to exert. You have only to stop disturbing it, stop bringing in something else.



-Swami Chidananda



The teaching of the Masters is: "If you want God, shun ruthlessly all powers, all occult phenomena, as poison. If you want God, do not want anything else but God. For if you have God, you have everything." Take it from me: If you have God, you have everything.



-Swami Chidananda



Everyone wants things created by God, but very few want the Creator and the Creator alone, Him and Him alone. Ask for that being Who is beyond all things - the Thing-in-itself. If you ask for lesser things, you get lesser things. Be careful of what we ask of God, because, He is a wish-yielding tree.


-Swami Chidananda.




God is an unknown entity.God is an unseen entity.We have not seen God.We've only heard about Him.We can only imagine Him.But, if we are able to see in a human individual, manifestations of holiness, of sanctity,something out of the ordinary, something extraordinary, something special,we begin to realise: "Yes, God I have not seen,but godliness I have seen."Such a being becomes for us visible God.God reveals Himself through the Guru.



-Swami Chidananda.



Where God is in charge and the human individual is fully prepared to do His bidding, there there is all prosperity, all victory, all auspiciousness and all happiness.


- Swami Chidananda



The Sun shines for others. The trees bear fruits for others. The river flow for the good of others. Cows yield milk for others. The human birth is likewise meant for doing good to others. By giving joy to any living being, you serve and worship God. May God bless you.


Swami Sivananda



The spirit of religion has gone out of religion. We worship the outer form, and the awareness of the inner content is conspicuous by its absence. Therefore the world is what it is today. The more often you repeat sacred words, the less they mean anything to you. And when great truths loose their meaning to you, they loose their meaning and significance, then the mere articulation of these truths should be studiously avoided.


Swami Chidananda



Sow the seed of world understanding and international spirit. What the world needs is the spirit of loving fellowship and fraternity, of unity, of love, of companionship and comradeship. Built a bridge of brotherhood between the people of the world.


-Swami Sivananda



Prayer is a great spiritual force. Prayer should be done with faith, with a heart wet with sincere devotion. Do not argue about the efficacy of prayer. Prayer has tremendous influence. Open freely the chamber of your heart when you pray. Be regular in your prayer. Ask for light, purity, devotion and knowledge.



-Swami Sivananda



All plentitude is within you. There is nothing that you lack, for you are of god who is all. In Him there is everything, and if you know that you are in Him, you have everything.



Swami Chidananda



Unattached service does not mean indifferent work. Selfless actions are not soul-less, heart-less actions. You should put your heart and soul in all that you do. Remember always that you are serving the Lord Himself in all.


Swami Sivananda



A child says "I", but its "I" is like a line drawn on the surface of water. It leaves no trace because it has no ego; it has no arrogance. It is simple; it is innocent. It is this simplicity of the inner nature that is the way. Therefore "Be like children".


Swami Chidananda.
