See the whole world within yourself :

-




To,


All Members,


A Sage sees the supreme Atman in all beings.

He beholds the imperishable amidst the perishable.

A Sage has equal vision.

He never think of nobility or lowness.

He is above love or hate.

He never has actions to do or not to do.

A Jivanmukta or a realised sage is above rules.

He may live as he likes.

A moral behaviour is spontaneous in him.

There is no external restraint for him.

This does not mean that he can lead an immoral life




The world has disappeared for a sage.

He works for the welfare of the world but gathers no fresh Karma.

A sage has realised the mirage of the world.

He is no longer deluded by it.

The world may come back again to a sage, but no more as the same world of pain, sorrow, and misery.

A Sage sees the whole world within himself.


Swami Sivananda

In the same way, there is a very dire and demoniacal tradition called vendetta in a part of Italy called Sicily. If one member of a family has been injured or killed by a member of another family, the first family will not rest until they have taken revenge. Then the other family retaliates; it can carry on from one generation to the next—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is also continuing perseverance, but it is dire, destructive in nature, tamasic. It is the same principle—never give up—but its results are destructive in nature. Again, in the same way, the human too can also be persevering—in the pursuit of one’s desires, the circumstances one wishes to create for oneself. And they may say, "Whatever the gurus may say, whatever our ancestors said, whatever illumined sages and seers may have said, that may apply to some antiquated age, but now it no longer holds good. At that time it might have been very wise, but times have changed. Things are d...

  Chinmaya Mission: On the morning of 28 June 2025, Chinmaya Vibhooti came alive with divine festivity as it hosted Jeevan Hai Sangeet, a grand celebration marking the 75th birthday of Swami Tejomayananda, fondly known as Guruji. The atmosphere, blessed with cool rains and lush greenery, beautifully mirrored the devotion and joy that permeated the three-day event envisioned by Swami Swaroopananda, Global Head of Chinmaya Mission. Devotees from across the globe gathered in love and gratitude. In the inaugural session, Guruji humbly acknowledged the outpouring of affection, urging everyone to extend that love to one another, echoing the Chinmaya Mission pledge—“We stand as one family…” He reminded all that Self-Knowledge is the most precious wealth, fulfilled through Bhakti, and expressed deep gratitude to “2G”—God and Guru—whose glories must be sung with devotion. The first day featured a powerful story-theatre performance Avatarana by Ramaa Bharadvaj, exploring the divine origins o...

============================================================================== Wednesday 23, April 2025, 06:30. Article: Philosophy: An Analysis of Our Perception of Historical Personalities: 6. Swami Krishnananda (Discourse given on the occasion of Dakshinamurthy Jayanti in 1966) Post-6. ============================================================================== Ishwara, the Creator, God, the incarnations of God like Krishna,  etc., our own selves, individual jivas here, all exist from one point of view, but are non-existent from another point of view. We all have some existence. “Do we exist from the historical point of view?” is a question you may put to me. Now I will put a question to you: What is history? A student in high school has one conception of history, a professor in a university has a more profound conception, and a farmer in a field has some other conception of history. Therefore, one's concept of history is, to some extent, responsible for the nature of the ans...
