FREEDOM FROM SUFFERING AND BONDAGE

Swami Sivananda

The objective universe is inadequate and incomplete. In Reality alone there is perfect fullness. The inadequate world can only give you inadequate experience. From the adequate source alone, you can get adequate result. Man is not body and mind alone. His real nature is Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute. Hence, he can have a real sense of fulfilment in the Atman only. But as long as one is attached to one's body and mind, one cannot escape the world. Wherever one goes, even it be a remote cave in the Himalayas, the same world will follow. Give the world its due recognition. But do not lose the sight of Reality in the midst of diverse appearance. Do not expect permanent values from impermanent sources. Contd…


The Ishta Devata is neither inside nor outside the Universal because the Universal cannot have an inside or outside. The moment there is an inside or outside, it ceases to be Universal. The Universal is indivisible.
