"Serve Humanity  And  Seek Divinity" by Swami Sivananda

"Life is Sadhana. Living is spiritual process. All actions---mental, 
verbal and physical---constitute Yajna. Yajna or self-giving is the 
fundamental principle and Paropakara (doing good to others) is the 
Mulamantra (the basic sacred formula) of this life.

The Message of Divine Life is: 'See God in all faces. Serve all. Love 
all. Be kind to all. Be compassionate. Feel everyone to be your own. 
Serve your fellow beings in the spirit of worship offered to the Divine 
which indwells them. Service of man is truly the worship of God.'

Live with understanding and wisdom. Understand the meaning and purpose 
of life. Understand your real nature and why you are here. Here on earth 
you are but a passing traveller. Here all things are temporary. All 
things pass. Therefore seek the eternal. Your real nature is not 
earthly. It is spiritual and deathless.  To realise your Reality, your 
eternal identity is the purpose of your life. While you strive 
diligently for this inner experience cultivate Ideal Relationship with 
the world around you. To all beings relate yourself with nobility, 
sympathy, kindness, love, selflessness and the desire to serve all". -

Early Morning Meditation Talk from "Ponder These  Truths" of Swami 
Chidananada

Create Opportunities
Radiant Divinities! Beloved sadhaks and seekers! An intelligent person 
makes use of every opportunity that God provides him or her in this 
upward ascent towards perfection. An intelligent being is ever upon the 
look out for opportunities to elevate himself, to improve himself, to 
move forward, progress and to work inwardly for an unfoldment that will 
enable him to put forth the maximum abilities, faculties and talents 
that he knows are within him.

Look out for opportunities. Make use of every opportunity. Create 
opportunities for self-improvement, to progress, to become a better 
"you," and thus make the world happy that you are in it. This is the key 
to move towards perfection, slowly and steadily, day by day. -Swami

On Health Topics  from  a book "Yoga and  Health" by Swami Adhyatmananda

Anemia What is Anemia ? What Causes of anemia?  How Yoga  treatment 
helps Anemia ?
Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy 
red blood cells. These cells are the main transporters of oxygen to 
organs. If red blood cells are also deficient in hemoglobin, then your 
body isn't getting enough iron. Symptoms of anemia -- like fatigue -- 
occur because organs aren't getting enough oxygen.
There are many types of anemia, which are divided into 3 broad 
groupings: Anemia caused by blood loss, Anemia caused by decreased or 
faulty red blood cell production and Anemia caused by destruction of red 
blood cells.
Treatment :  Proper Nurtition, Treatment directed to cause and the 
practice of Pranayama, Manily Sitali & Sidhkari  --- these three have 
proved very valuable for the production of hemoglobin and necessary 
elements in the blood in the pure form. Sitali & Shidhakari Pranayams 
performed in the early morning before sunrise give good digestive power, 
hunger increases and blood gets purified. - Swami Adhyatmananda <<

Gitamrutam

He who performs actions, offering them to Brahman and abandoning 
attachment, is not tainted by sin as a lotus leaf by water. (5:10)

Having abandoned attachment to the fruit of the action, ever content, 
depending on nothing, he does not do anything though engaged in 
activity.(4:20)

For, verily the true nature of action (enjoined by the scriptures) 
should be known, also (that) of forbidden (or unlawful) action, and of 
inaction; hard to understand is the nature (path) of action. (4:17)

Verily, it is not possible for an embodied being to abandon actions 
entirely; but he who relinquishes the rewards of actions is verily 
called a man of renunciation. (18:11)

Therefore, let the scripture be the authority in determining what ought 
to be done and what ought not to be done. Having known what is said in 
the ordinance of the scriptures, thou shouldst act here in this world. 
(16:24)
