The present, added on to some period of time-becomes future. The present plus time is the future. So our present work plus the time in which we do and achieve things together becomes the future world. The future is not a continuity of the present world - it can never be. The present world is being handled, dandled, destroyed and created through this given period of time, and what remains will be the future world - good or bad, created or destroyed. 3.

Sub :  3. ESSENCE OF DIVINE LIFE -2.
(Sri Swami Sivananda)


Ref : The present, added on to some period of time-becomes future. The present plus time is the future. So our present work plus the time in which we do and achieve things together becomes the future world. The future is not a continuity of the present world - it can never be. The present world is being handled, dandled, destroyed and created through this given period of time, and what remains will be the future world - good or bad, created or destroyed.


1. Aspire ceaselessly to live in the Divine. Strive ceaselessly to realise the truth. . Work untiringly for the good of others.

2. To have faith and devotion, to serve the preceptor and the saints, to practise meditation, an to attain Self-knowledge is indeed a supreme blessing. Without self-restraint there is no Divine Life.

3. Do not mix much with people, but be friendly to all.  Children of Immortality! Arise, awake and lead the Divine Life of truth, purity, love and goodness.

4. Be merciful to all. Be kind to all. Love all. Renounce sensual pleasures. Meditate on the Supreme Being. This is Divine Life.

5. The world is a composite whole. Do not entertain the spirit of separateness. In your heart and mind, be one with all.

6. The individual soul has to merge in the Cosmic Self. Human life has to transform itself into Divine Life. This is the Goal.

7. Find out your centre. Dwell always in this centre. This centre is the Atman, your innermost being.

8. Realise your real nature. Realise your Atman. A lion should not bleat like a lamb.

9. Do not be pessimistic. Do not be negative in your approach. Be always optimistic and positive.

10. Your only duty is God-realisation. All other duties should only serve as a means to this final goal.

11.Put aside sorrow and grief. Identify not yourself with the perishable body and mind. You are the immortal Atman. Why should you grieve, when your real nature is joy eternal?

12. To get established in the Self, to do charitable and noble deeds, to be pure at heart,—this is indeed a supreme blessing. Spiritualise your activities. Dedicate all your actions as an offering to God.

13. Practise detachment and self-surrender. Live in God. Awake from the slumber of ignorance. Be dispassionate.

14. Learn to discriminate. Meditate. Sleep no more! Behold the dawn of wisdom in your heart.

15. Lift the veil of human imperfections. Behold your real divine nature.

The Mahabharata -  Speech by Swami Vivekananda - Delivered at the Shakespeare Club, Pasadena, California, February 1, 1900)   The other epic about which I am going to speak to you this evening, is called the Mahâbhârata. It contains the story of a race descended from King Bharata, who was the son of Dushyanta and Shakuntalâ. Mahâ means great, and Bhârata means the descendants of Bharata, from whom India has derived its name, Bhârata. Mahabharata means Great India, or the story of the great descendants of Bharata. The scene of this epic is the ancient kingdom of the Kurus, and the story is based on the great war which took place between the Kurus and the Panchâlas. So the region of the quarrel is not very big. This epic is the most popular one in India; and it exercises the same authority in India as Homer's poems did over the Greeks. As ages went on, more and more matter was added to it, until it has become a huge book of about a hundred thousand couplets. All sorts of

CHAPTER 2. HINDU SCRIPTURES : 1.5     1.The Scriptures : 5 5. The Ramayana The Ramayana, the Adi-Kavya or the first epic poem, relates the story of Sri Rama, the ideal man. It is the history of the family of the solar race descended from Ikshvaku, in which was born Sri Ramachandra, the Avatara of Lord Vishnu, and his three brothers. The ideal characters like Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata and Sri Hanuman that we find in Ramayana firmly establish Hindu Dharma in our minds. The story of the birth of Rama and his brothers, their education and marriages, the exile of Sri Rama, the carrying off and recovery of Sita, his wife, the destruction of Ravana, the Rakshasa King of Lanka, and the reign of Sri Rama, are described in detail in Ramayana. How a man should behave towards his superiors, equals and inferiors, how a king ought to rule his kingdom, how a man should lead his life in this world, how he can obtain his release, freedom and perfection, may be learnt from this excellen

1. We have the famous immortal metaphor of the chariot explaining the Atma and the Body.       2. In the chariot sits the Sarathi ( driver), and the Yodha ( warrior).       3. In the body stays the Paramatma, the Self and the Jeevatma, the Ego and the entire technique of the Adhyatma Yoga is explained.     4. Here the Ratham ( chariot) represents our body,       5. Five horses are our five sense-organs ( Panchendriya),     6. Lagan ( kadjnan/saddles) of the horses is our Buddhi(intelligence),     7.  The Sarathi is our Mind,     8. Yodha is our Atma.
