The Master Said ...14. - Swami Sivananda
(Speech delivered by Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj on the 26th December 1954, at Sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh, for the celebration of the 34th birthday of Sri Swami Venkatesananda.)
14.
The Atman is fearless.
There is no anxiety, no worry, no misery in the Self, where there is neither east, nor west, neither south nor north. In the Self there is neither hunger nor hotel, no old age or death; no Tuesday or Monday.
He is Sat-Kama and Sat-Sankalpa.
Only if you attain this Atman will you be free.
That is your essential nature.
Tat Twam Asi, you are That, my dear children.
But the realisation of this Truth, Tat Twam Asi, is not so easy.
By selfless service you will have to purify your mind of the dirt which has accumulated in it; and then steady the mind through Upasana, and through the Grace of the Lord the veil (Avarana) will be removed.
This, our Venkatesanandaji has done.
To be continued ..
