Daily Readings from the Works of Swami Venkatesananda


Venkatesa Daily Readings Volume I — March 04

What is un-divine life? A life ruled by the petty ego, a life full of selfishness, lust, anger and greed. A life of ignorance, this is un-divine life. It is not life at all. It is living death.

Look - are you alive? Are you alive to the purpose of life? Do you know the purpose of life? Do you even care to know the purpose of life?

Flesh decays, weapons rust, wealth is reduced to dust. Empires crumble. The life and death struggles of heroes are dismissed with the few brief sentences in a history book. Open your eyes and see. Who is happy in this world? Deluded man, arise, awake. Go to the men of God and learn to walk the straight and narrow path called yoga.

Yoga is not a mysterious cult. It is the path of at-one-ment with the Lord here and now. It leads you to the grand goal of self-realization or God realization. It leads you to the realization of God's indwelling omnipresence.
