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 !

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.

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.

PEACE IS OUR ETERNAL ABODE & OUR TRUE IDENTITY ~ Swami Sivananda

PEACE IS OUR ETERNAL ABODE & OUR TRUE IDENTITY

Quotes of Swami Sivananda about peace

Desire is the greatest enemy of peace. 

Desire causes distractions of various sorts. Therefore give up all desires.

Eternal spiritual life cannot be attained without the renunciation of the petty sensual life. The secret of renunciation is the renunciation of egoism and desires.

Attain that peace that passeth understanding by silencing the bubbling thoughts and eradicating all desires, cravings, or sense-hankerings.

What is wanted is the renunciation of the tiny ego, lust, anger, greed, petty-mindedness, name and fame and such other negative qualities that stand in the way of one's perfection, self-evolution.

Nothing can bring you peace but the victory over your lower self, triumph over your senses and mind, desires and cravings.

Cultivate peace first in the garden of your heart by removing the weeds of lust, hatred, greed, selfishness and jealousy. Then only you can contribute peace to the world.

Reach the kingdom of inner stillness or domain of infinite peace through spiritual meditation.
