THIS MARVELLOUS MIND

Swami Sivananda

The intellect is dependent on the Atman or the supreme Self and cannot work without its help. The intelligence of the Atman is always needed by the intellect. Just as a heated iron ball acquires the burning and lustrous qualities of fire, so also the intellect which is very near to Atman borrows the quality of intelligence from the Atman. The ego lives through the ideas of 'mine, doership and enjoyership. The veil of Truth or the Eternal is the mind itself. Satan is not outside. It is within you. Evil tendency is satan. Impure mind is satan. There is no difference between the supreme Self and the purified mind. The subtle body will persist till liberation when jnana or wisdom is attained.


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

Svadhyaya, japa and dhyana — holy study, chanting of the mantra and direct meditation — these are the essences of spiritual sadhana. There are many other accessories such as moral discipline, ethical practice, etc., which are, of course, necessary, but they are the outer court of spiritual practice, whereas the inner court is constituted of svadhyaya, japa and dhyana.
