PRECEPTS FOR PRACTICE

Swami Sivananda

Through wisdom and penance, the heroes who are stable-minded, pure and passionless, behold the Supreme. When the mind and intellect cease to function, when all thoughts are annihilated, when the senses are no longer active, one enjoys the eternal bliss of Atma or the' innermost Self. When one gets free from all samskaras, one then attains the eternal Brahman, the Supreme, the peaceful, the unmovable, the everlasting and the imperishable. By renunciation of egoism and desires alone one can attain liberation. Full of faith, with mind purified by meditation on the mahavakya Tat Twam Asi—Thou Art That—and by the grace of the Guru, one would realize the essential oneness of the individual soul and the supreme Soul.


The mantra shakti, the power of the mantra, gives you a new protection against the onslaught of all these sensuous forces in the world. The mantra will be an armour that you put on. If you can live with your Guru, that is also a great protection.
