REALISE THE TRUTH (Sri Swami Sivananda)
Thou art Divine! Live up to it! Feel and realise thy Divine nature. Thou art the master of thy destiny. Do not be discouraged when sorrows, difficulties and tribulations manifest in the daily battle of life. Draw up courage and spiritual strength from within. There is a vast inexhaustible magazine of power and knowledge within. Learn the ways to tap the source. Dive deep within. Sink down. Plunge into the sacred waters of Immortality, the Holy Triveni within. You will be quite refreshed, renovated and vivified when you realise: "I AM THE IMMORTAL SELF". Understand the laws of the universe. Move tactfully in this world. Learn the secrets of nature. Try to know the best ways to control the mind. Conquer this mind. Conquest of mind is really conquest of nature and the world. Conquest of mind will enable you to go to the source of the soul-power and you can realise: "I AM THE IMMORTAL SELF". Do not murmur. Do not grumble when troubles and sorrows descend upon you. Every difficulty is an opportunity for you to develop your will and to grow strong. Welcome it. Difficulties strengthen your will, augment your power of endurance and turn your mind towards God. Face them with a smile. In your weakness lies real strength. Thou art invincible. Nothing can harm you. Conquer the difficulties one by one. This is the beginning of a new life, a life of expansion, glory and divine splendour. Aspire and draw. Grow. Expand. Build up all positive virtuous qualities, the daivi sampat, viz., fortitude, patience and courage that are dormant in you. Tread the spiritual path and realise: "I AM THE IMMORTAL SELF". Destiny is your own creation. You have created your destiny through thoughts and actions. You can undo the same by right thinking and action. Even if there is an evil or a dark antagonistic force to attack you, you can diminish its force by resolutely denying the existence of evil or resolutely turning your mind away from it. Thus you can disarm destiny. The one thought: "I am the Immortal Self" will neutralise all evil forces, the evil influences of all malevolent planets and will infuse in you courage and inner spiritual strength. Wrong thinking is the root cause for human sufferings. Cultivate right action. Work unselfishly in terms of unity with atma bhava. This is right action. The right thinking is when you constantly think: "I AM THE IMMORTAL SELF". There is no such thing as sin. Sin is only a mistake. Sin is a mental creation. The baby soul must commit some mistake during the process of evolution. Mistakes are your best teachers. The idea of sin will be blown in the air if you think: "I AM THE IMMORTAL SELF".
