The Eighteen "Ities" : 16 & 17.

-




16. CHARITY :


Give, give and give.

This is the secret of abundance.

Radiate thoughts of goodness and love.

Forgive the faults of others.

Bless the man who injures you.

Share what you have with others.

Disseminate spiritual knowledge to one and all.

Use the material wealth, knowledge and spiritual wisdom that you possess as a divine trust.


17. GENEROSITY :


In whatever you give be liberal.

Have a large heart.

Do not be miserly.

Take delight in the joy of others, in making them happy.

Generosity is a sister-virtue of charity.

It is the fulfilment of charity, magnanimity and nobility.


Swami Sivananda

CHAPTER- 3 :  HINDU DHARMA-9 9. Truth - Brahman is Sat or Existence-Absolute. Truth must be observed in thought, word and deed. If you are established in truth, all other virtues will cling to you by themselves. Harischandra sacrificed everything for the sake of truth. He lives still in our hearts. Yudhishthira was also devoted to truth. There is no virtue higher than truth. Practice of truth and Ahimsa constitute the crown and glory of ethical life. In the Taittiriya Upanishad, the preceptor says in his convocation address to the students: “Satyam vada—Speak the truth.” The world is rooted in truth. Dharma is rooted in truth. All religions are rooted in truth. Honesty, justice, straightforwardness and sincerity are only modifications or expressions of truth. Next :10. Purity Swami Sivananda      To be continued...

20/01/2018 CHAPTER- 5. HINDU TENETS-4. 4. The Three Kinds Of Karma : 1. Sanchita, 2. Prarabdha and 3. Agami Karma is of three kinds, viz., Sanchita (accumulated works), Prarabdha (fructifying works) and Kriyamana or Agami (current works). 1. Sanchita is all the accumulated Karmas of the past. Part of it is seen in the character of man, in his tendencies and aptitudes, capacities, inclinations and desires, etc. Tendencies come from this. 2. Prarabdha is that portion of the past Karma which is responsible for the present body. That portion of the Sanchita Karma which influences human life in the present incarnation is called Prarabdha. It is ripe for reaping. It cannot be avoided or changed. It is only exhausted by being experienced. You pay your past debts. Prarabdha Karma is that which has begun and is actually bearing fruit. It is selected out of the mass of the Sanchita Karma. Kriyamana is that Karma which is now being made for the future. It is also called Agami or V...
