Twenty Sweetest Drops from “Ambrosia”
Divine Life Society Publication: Thus Awakens Swami Sivananda by Gurudev Sri Swami Sivananda
-
Brahman is Immortal Wisdom, Eternal Beauty, Infinite Consciousness and Everlasting Peace.
-
The Pure Eternal Atman is Sareera Traya Vilakshana, Panchakosha Vyatirikta and Avastha Trayarahita.
-
The language of Brahman is silence. His law is harmony. His nature is abiding peace.
-
Love generates knowledge and knowledge leads one to love.
-
Behind the variety and plurality of objects there is an all-embracing unity.
-
Man is a subject and not an object. He is a seer.
-
Truth, Love, and Purity—these three constitute Divine Life.
-
God plus desire is man. Man minus desire is God.
-
Discrimination and purity are the hubs in which the axle of Truth is fixed.
-
Truthfulness and love are the wings which raise us to God.
-
There is no virtue higher than Truth.
-
Kanchana, Kamini and Kirthi—these three K’s are the enemies of wisdom. Embrace poverty, observe chastity, and practise humility; and you can be free from them.
-
A Jivanmukta is a Mahakarta, a Jivanmukta is a Maha Bhokta.
-
The causes of rebirth are desire and ignorance.
-
A Jivanmukta is always in Samadhi even during all sorts of action.
-
Hook the fish of desire by abstinence. Remove the darkness of ignorance by the light of knowledge.
-
Samadhi is the highest bliss. It is the experience of the light of the Absolute and the end of all relative existence.
-
‘OM’ is a guide for the knowledge of the Self and a key to unlock the door of Moksha.
-
Liberation is not merely the absence of all misery. It is a state of Bliss.
-
Moksha is the realisation of the non-dualistic, pure consciousness. It is a state of desirelessness.
