DISCRIMINATE AND BE WISE

Swami Sivananda

Vichar, Vairagya and Sat-sang are the protective armour which will enable you to achieve the ideal. Spiritual opportunity is a rare privilege. Do not lose such opportunities. Birth, education and wealth do not have anything to do with God-realisation. It is easy to develop intellect, but how very difficult is it to develop Vairagya, ethical perfection. Reason or intellect is incompetent to know God. Your intellect is an expert in framing rea sons to support your evil conduct. Trust not this intellect. Live in intuition. This world is the biggest university. Learn your lessons well and pass in the final examination. The meshes of Maya are widespread. Beware, Sadhaks! What a strange world! How powerful is Maya!

Caution: Fraudulent Website

This is to caution all the devotees of Gurudev that some fraudsters have launched a website impersonating the official website of The Divine Life Society, in order to mislead the public and collect money in the name of booking rooms, joining Yoga Courses, etc. Devotees are advised to beware of the fake website with the address https://sivanandaashram.co.in/, email Id info@sivanandaashram.co.in & phone number 9668461538 and take necessary precautions from falling prey to such scammers. It has never been a practice of the Ashram to let the devotees book rooms or register for Yoga Courses through phone or Whatsapp.

Those who are devoted to the Ashram and Gurudev know very well that the Ashram does not charge anything for any Seva at the Ashram. Please take note that the official websites of The Divine Life Society are https://www.sivanandaonline.org and https://www.dlshq.org, email Ids are generalsecretary@sivanandaonline.org and gs@sivanandaonline.org and the online donation portal is https://donations.sivanandaonline.org

The term 'Atman' really means the character of subjectivity in consciousness which refuses to get related to anything outside it. God cannot be related to anyone else. The Absolute cannot be connected with relative particularities because the relative is inside the Absolute itself, so how can the infinite be connected with something else?
