Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering ~ Atman Nityananda

Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering  

Enlightenment is not only the end of suffering, but the unobstructed experience of peace and bliss Divine

Bliss, which is identical with, peace, it is not the absence of suffering, but Is what we really Are.

When someone, wants to have sex pleasure, he doesn't seek this pleasure, just to get rid of the anxiety, restlessness and uneasiness, that are caused by the manifestation of desire and passion in him. 

He wants to experience a positive joyful experience of sex pleasure and happiness. 

And, in many cases, humans are willing to pass through some kind of pain or suffering, in order to get the pleasure and the happiness they aspire to live, (through, sex or any other achievement).

Similarly, a seeker of truth, is willing to pass through pain and suffering,  not only to be free from suffering, but to experience the Peace and Bliss Eternal of the Divine, that passes all understanding !

Salutations to the Divine Mother ~ Swami SIvananda

Salutations to the Divine Mother

Salutations to the Divine Mother who exists in all beings in the form of intelligence, mercy and beauty, salutations, O Sweet Mother, the consort of Lord Siva.

O Compassionate Mother! I bow to Thee. Thou art my saviour. Thou art my goal. Thou art my sole support. Thou art my guide and the remover of all afflictions, troubles and miseries. Thou art the embodiment of auspiciousness. Thou pervadest the whole universe. The whole universe is filled with Thee. Thou art the store-house of all qualities. Do Thou protect me. I again and again salute Thee. O Glorious Mother! Salutations to Thee. All women are Thy parts. Mind, egoism, intellect, body, Prana, senses, are Thy forms. Thou art Para Shakti and Apara Prakriti. Thou art electricity, magnetism, force, energy, power and will. All forms are Thy forms only. Reveal to me the mystery of creation. Bestow on me the divine knowledge.

O Divine Mother, Thou art my only support. My silent adorations unto Thee!
