Live now. Know now. Realize now. Be happy now.</div>
<div align="left">Every death is a reminder. Every bell
that rings says, "The end is near". Every day robs off
from you one part of your precious life. Therefore, you
should be very earnest in plunging yourself in constant
Sadhana.<br>
</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">"Waver not. Fear not. Doubt not. Do
something substantial in the path of Sadhana instead of
wasting your time in idle pursuits and lethargy. You
have infinite strength within you. There is a vast
reservoir of power within you. Therefore, do not lose
heart. Obstacles are stepping stones to success. They
will develop your will. Do not allow yourself to be
crushed by them. Defects remind you of perfection. Sin
reminds you of virtue. Chose the positive
path"............ <br>
</div>
<div align="left"><br>
</div>
<div align="left">Sadhana is spiritual movement
consciously systematized. Sadhana is the purpose for
which we have come to this place. Abhyasa and Sadhana
are synonymous terms. The object of Sadhana is to
release life from the limitations with which it is
bound. Sadhana is a lifelong process. Every day, every
hour, every minute, is an onward march. Obstacles are
innumerable in this great voyage. But, so long as you
hold God as thy guide, there is nothing to worry about.
You are sure to reach the other shore."</div>
<div align="left"><br>
<div align="left"> Sadhana -The secret of Success.
Persevere. Plod on in your Sadhana. Through
introspection, analysis, discrimination, vigilance,
enquiry and prayer, you can understand the tricks and
jugglery of the mind and escape from its deception. To
make the mind obey you, is Spiritual discipline. Still
the mind. Here in lies freedom and bliss eternal.
Where there are kindness, humility and purity, there
spirituality springs up, saintliness shines, divinity
descends and perfection manifests itself.- Swami

<div align="left">"When You Wake up In The Morning" <br>
<br>
"Waking up in the morning should not merely mean waking
up into this maya-bazaar, waking up into this temporary
world of pain and death. It should not only mean waking
up into this little, confined, outer earth awareness. It
should also simultaneously mean waking up into the
awareness of your divinity which has been temporarily
suspended in sleep. And keep up that inner wakefulness
along with your outer physical wakefulness of the senses
and the mind. Keep up the inner wakefulness of your
svarupa. That is the great thing needful. That is what
will make your life divine. That is what will take you,
day by day, higher and higher towards the Goal Supreme.
And this you have to do for yourself, with wisdom."<br>
<br>
"When you wake up in the morning, what do you wake up
to? When you come into a state of awareness, what is
that state of awareness? What is its level, what is its
plane, what is its content, what purpose does it serve?
Think deeply about it, and be a true jijnasu, a true
mumukshu, a true seeker, a true devotee of the Supreme.
Be a true part of Divinity, a true amsa of paramatma,
and make your life divine. This is the greatest way in
which you can bless yourself." - Swami Chidananda <a

Spiritual Sadhana. Omkar is the best Pranayam."<br>
<br>
"The practice of Omkar destroys Tamasik thoughts and
converts the Rajasik thoughts into Sattvik thoughts. In
long term if the people living in all four directions on
the earth start practising Omkar regularly, the mental
conflicts can be eliminated. Selfishness will retire.
Benevolence will be originated. The whole world can
become a family. The contradiction will decrease and
smooth conversation will be possible. The wind of pure
selfless life will flow. Omkar is the highway of world
peace and welfare. Let us practice Omkar and make our
life successful".......- Swami Adhyatmananda <a

On one occasion I went to Swamiji and told him that
with so many base thoughts I was unfit for the Ashram
life, and as such, I must be permitted to go back
home. To this Swamiji replied, "Because you have got
all these drawbacks you are eminently fit for the
Ashram life. When you are sick, what will you do? You
will go and consult a doctor, join the hospital, take
the prescribed medicine and follow the dietetic
restrictions. Once you join the Hospital, you must do
whatever the doctor says, and having faith in him, you
must completely free yourself from all worries and
anxieties. In a like manner, the moment you detect
such base thoughts in you, you must go to a Guru, take
his advice, do whatever he says and, above all, have
faith in him and surrender to him completely, and the
recovery is bound to follow."<br>
<br>
"Veternary Doctor" <br>
One day Dr. Raoji noticed a dog lying near the office
room of the Ashram. It was full of sores and worms. It
was clear that it had been in agony for some time. The
tender heart of Rao Swamiji bled at the pathetic
sight. He gave some medicines and injections and
dressed its affected parts with proper bandage and
slept near the dog tending it the whole night. When
the Ashramites saw this in the morning they were
simply dazed. Gurudev remarked that Rao Swamiji was
not a man but the very embodiment of compassion.<br>
