Hari
OM
Application - that is what 'Workings-days' are about!
The
virtues are what have been under the microscope here, as given by scriptures
and handed down form the gurus. We are daily at work on ourselves, if we are
living rightly, with awareness and the desire for self-improvement. It is true,
as often stated, that we may not all be seeking the very highest spiritual
attainment; nonetheless, any benefit of self-analysis which brings a sense of
tranquillity and improvement in life is to be welcomed… benefits which can only
come from the working upon ourselves by ourselves.
This
week, the words of Swami Sivananda-ji are being given to you directly. Strong
words - if we do not feel ourselves moved/disturbed/emboldened by them then we
are not being honest with ourselves. (If your magnification is less, please
feel free to download these images and enlarge them for ease of reading.)
Remember, all the essentials for self-adjustment are to be noted down in the little book !!! The taking of notes, the noting of pertinence to oneself, all this amounts to taking the shravanam and churning it through mananam. This is an ongoing saadhana.
