This is a pocket book meant for daily use. It
contains 365 topics of interest and help to spiritual aspirants for the 365
days of the year, date-wise. Author of this book, Srimat Swami Chidbhavanandaji
Maharaj, is a disciple of Srimat Swami Sivanandaji Mahraj, second President of
the Ramakrishna Order. He founded Sri Ramakrishna Tapovanam at
Tirupparaithurai, near Trichy in Tamil Nadu. The swamiji attained ‘Mahasamadhi’
in . I had been to Tapovanam three times when the swamiji was alive and had the
good fortune to receive his blessings.
A few lines from the Introduction of this book:
“The search for Reality is inborn in man. Ceaselessly it is going on.
Geographical limitations and traditional upbringing are no barriers to it. The
quest would stop only with the attainment of Union with Reality.
Tenets belonging to all the four paths (Karma
Yoga or the Path of Action; Raja Yoga or the Path of Self-control; Bhakti Yoga
or the Path of Devotion; and Jnana Yoga or the Path of Knowledge) are
interspersed in this little book. Their being mixed up is a psychological
necessity. As the change of diet is relishing to the tongue, change of theme is
refreshing to the mind. An ardent daily pursuit of a page in this book is bound
to enrich the spiritual caliber of the aspirant. Pursuit is to be followed by
reflection.”
As a sample, I am giving below the entry for
today, the 19th July:
THE AXLE
The wheel turns having the axle as the basis. The
axle is not only the basis, it also keeps the movement of the wheel under control.
Such is also the structure of nature.
Motion is relative. A moving object requires an immovable basis to move on. The moving planets have the fixed space to move on. The perishing things have the persisting Consciousness as the axle or basis. Nature rests and moves on Consciousness.
In man Consciousness is the axle on which the body and mind move and evolve – Vedanta”
