Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Om Namah Sivaya 'All agree that the one aim which man has in all his acts is to secure happiness for himself. The highest as well as the ultimate end of man must, therefore, be to attain eternal, infinite, unbroken, Supreme happiness. This happiness can be had in one’s own Self (Atman) only. Therefore, search within to attain this eternal Bliss. Real happiness is within. You will have to get it through control of mind and not through money, women, children, name, fame, rank or power. Man only can reason, reflect and exercise judgment. It is man only who can compare and contrast, who can think of pros and cons and who can draw inferences and conclusions. This is the reason why he alone is able to attain God-consciousness. That man who simply eats and drinks and who does not exercise his mental faculty in Self-Realisation (Brahman) is only a brute. Just as fire burns a heap of dried leaves, so also the fire of Union (Yoga) burns all (negative) karmas. The sum total of knowledge of this universe is nothing when compared to the spiritual knowledge that is obtained through Self-Realisation (Brahman).' ------- Sri Swami Sivananda Namah Sivaya _________ Messenger - NEW crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail http://uk.messenger.
