Description
Life is Divine in its origin, content and meaning. There is a Divine spark in everyone. Bliss is indeed, thy essential nature. The obstacles to bliss and Divine nature are in the mind. To be a slave of mind is ignorance. Nothing, therefore, can bring you bliss but the conquest of mind. Lead the Life Divine, track back your innate Divinity. Bliss, then, is yours.
This book shows to the seekers, a clear-cut, well-defined open path free from all mystifications and ambiguities. The essays are Powerfully charged with the dominant Spiritual knowledge. For, Sri Swami Sivanandaji says, every activity in life can be transformed into a Yoga of Divine, by acquiring the requisite knowledge through study and contemplation.
An understanding of these essays, will inspire and uplift the readers heart, sanctify the Spirit, and a deep reflection will reveal the secret of Bliss and Divine nature of the Soul.
We hope this presentation proves as an invaluable guide to all seekers, sadhaks and aspirants. May Lord bless all with eternal Bliss, everlasting Peace and Spiritual illumination.
The Glory and the divine nature of His Holiness Sri Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, one who was universally acknowledged as a Saint, Sage and God-Man, worshipfully epitomized as a Light Fountain, are beyond description. He was a seer of great repute, a teacher, a reformer and founder of a great organization. His spirit of Universal Love attracted aspirants and devotees from all walks of life, from all parts of the world.
