~Swami Sivananda
Blessed householders! Remember that ignorance is always the root-cause of fear. Wherever there is duality, there is fear. In Advaita (non-duality) alone, there is no fear. Who is to be afraid of whom, when one beholds oneness everywhere? The spiritual journey is long and weary. There is much to be done by way of spiritual Sadhana.
Life is very short. Time is fleeting. There are many obstacles on the spiritual path. One should apply oneself diligently in spiritual practices and discipline the senses (Indriyas), in the control of mind and lead the most regulated life. Concentration and meditation are the two essential wings of the spiritual Sadhak. With these, he can simply fly round the entire world. Realise this and rest in your Satchidananda (Existence-Consciousness-bliss) Swaroopa (nature). Know thy real Self and be ever free.
