PEARLS OF DEVOTION

Swami Sivananda

When you take medicine, think of Lord Vishnu. When you go to bed, repeat the name of Padmanabha. When you take food, meditate on Janardana. When you marry, think of Lord Prajapati. When you fight either in the physical or spiritual sense think of Chakradhari, the wielder of the discus. When dying, think of Lord Narayana. When you are in difficulties, remember Madhusudana. When you are in the midst of forest, think of Lord Narasimha. When fire threatens, think of Jalasan the one lying on the water. When you are caught in deep waters remember Varaha. Think of Garuda. You will not see bad dreams. When you climb mountain think of Raghunandana.


In the presence of light, you cannot have darkness. In the presence of sensual pleasures Atmic Bliss cannot exist. Worldlings want sensual pleasures and Atmic Ananda at the same time in one and the same cup. This is an absolute impossibility.
