All Members,

 Respected family members of this great holy Nation.

* Initially, Parents are responsible for the character of Children !

** Next,  Educational institutions, and Teachers are responsible !!

***Next, Society is responsible ( TV, MOVIES, etc., )

**** Overall, State and Central Governments are responsible !!!

***** Politics & Political parties have no roll and  should be avoided!!!!

Chapter-2. THE GIFT OF THE 20 IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS -2

(Talk given at Sri Samadhi Mandir on 27/12/93)

This is Gurudev Swami Sivanandaji at the end of his compact, concise, yet comprehensive 20 Important Spiritual Instructions.

Beloved Sadhaks, what will be your resolution in regard to these instructions as the old year is fast concluding, and the New Year 1994 is soon to be upon you?

Blessed Atman! Blessed Jijnasus and Mumukshus, Yogis, devotees of God, lovers of righteousness, O you all assembled here, Bhaktas, Jnanis, Raja-yogis, Karma-yogis, Japa-yogis and Sankirtan-yogis, how will you relate yourself to this quintessence of all scriptures? In what way will you receive this gift of Gurudev, the 20 Important Spiritual Instructions, as you are concluding one year of spiritual living on the sacred banks of Divine Mother Ganga in Gurudev’s Ashram?

What will be your attitude?



When this supreme blessedness has been bestowed upon you and you have been given this great gift from the all-loving world awakener and enlightener in whose presence you are sitting at this moment, what will be your attitude?

In what way do you wish to relate yourself, and how are you going to utilise this precious gift, the fruit of  his labour, of his deep study, the fruit of his
earnest desire to benefit you and take you up to illumination and liberation?

What will be your attitude towards this golden gift, this divine gift?

Ponder this, decide, and upon your decision will depend your fate and ultimate destiny.

Lord Krishna concluded his Gita Jnana Upadesha by this amazing remark, “O Arjuna, having reflected over it fully, act as you wish.”

It is this supreme love that gives freedom for the beloved one to do as he wishes.

I do not force, I do not compel. I have given of Myself.

Now as you wish, you decide and do.

That was Lord Krishna.

That too is Swami Sivananda.

You must be keenly eager to raise yourself by your own effort to the highest state of divine perfection and blessedness.

That is what all your life is about, and in this there should be no hesitation; there should be earnestness, sincerity and serious aspiration and determination.

This is the sign of a Yogi, a Bhakta, a true devotee of God, of a Sadhaka.

I deem it a great good fortune that during this concluding 50 day period of glorifying Lord Vishwanath, it has been my privilege to bring to you in a vital manner
the quintessence of Gurudev’s practical spiritual teachings for your consideration.

For this privilege, for this great good fortune I thank the Supreme Being.

I also humbly offer my thanks to Beloved Gurudev and to all of you who, by assembling here morning after morning, have been instrumental in granting me this privilege.

Life is short, time flies away. It is wise therefore, to make use of what we have now and here and not to postpone that which is the most important.

All other things may be postponed, but not that thing for which you have come here as a human being.

That is what endows life with a purpose, without which life is but an empty dream.

Gurudev used to say, “It is like the bellows of a blacksmith. It means merely life-repairing through the lungs, inhaling and exhaling and being alive. Even the
bellows of a blacksmith puffs air in and out.”

Life becomes significant, precious and lofty when it is utilised for the purpose for which it has been granted to us.

You are all intelligent people.

You are all people with understanding and knowledge.

It is therefore enough to say this in brief, and you will be able to grasp and bless yourself.

God has blessed you.

Gurudev has blessed you.

Receive this blessing and benefit yourself and become blessed.
