Brave all trials

BRAVE ALL TRIALS

 

by Swami Sivananda

 

Trials, difficulties, troubles and sufferings are necessary for your

purification and to strengthen your will and power of endurance. Face

them bravely and come out triumphantly. Press on. Strive on with all

your will; only then is the grace of God bestowed. God helps those

who help themselves. If bad thoughts enter your mind, simply ignore

them. Offer a prayer to the Lord and substitute divine thoughts by

studying the sacred books. The spiritual fire should be generated day

after day. Hold fast to the ideal. Keep the flame of aspiration ever

bright. Scorn mundane delights and strife. Dedicate your life to God.

Meditate. Scale the spirit's steepest height and reach the peak of

eternal wisdom and bliss divine. Nothing is able to daunt the firm

and resolute aspirant or turn him from a course which he considers to

be right, or which he holds to be his duty. Be brave and courageous.

You must pass with one breath over the mountain of difficulties. The

atman cannot be attained by a life of weakness and error.

 

You have infinite strength within you. Be strong. Look within.

Meditate. Tap the source. Have an indomitable will, backed by an

abiding faith. You are bound to succeed in everything. God is the

light of lights. He is knowledge. He is the knower. God is the same

from age to age. God never changes; he is ageless. God has no

opposite. God is truth, beauty, goodness. God has no religion; He is

the source of all religion. God is one. God is peace. God is

universal harmony. God is love and law. As a lamp cannot burn without

oil, so man cannot live without God. Creation reveals that God is

dharma (righteousness). God is the bestower of grace which is

boundless and inexhaustible.
