- Problems
The problems that confront us in life are created by Mala - impurity, Vikshepa - unsteadiness of mind, and Avarana - ignorance of God.
- Dis-ease
Turning away from God is disease.
Who turns to God is at perfect ease within.
- The circle
No! You can go forward - and complete the circle!
You will arrive at the starting point.
- 'Think of Me constantly.' (Gita)
This has been much misunderstood.
There are some who advocate pure worship or repetition of the Name of the Lord without taking any interest in society and its welfare.
That is possible and permissible only to those who do not depend upon society for their livehood.
So long as you let people feed this body, so long shall you let that body serve the people.
- Disinterested benevolence
Some foolish psychologists believe that unselfish and disinterested action is impossible.
Some good men concede that disinterested malevolence is possible, as in the case of the police and the magistrate, or the warrior.
But in our own times Mahatma Gandi and Gurudev Sivananda have proved that disinterested benevolence is also possible, good, and a state which we should strive for, in order that we may attain the Absolute.
