This physical world, though necessary to our evolution, is the embodiment of impermanence, of constant change. Thus, we take care not to become overly attached to it.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiSelf Realization is finding That which is beyond even superconsciousness itself, beyond the mind-timeless, causeless, spaceless.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiYou don't discipline yourself to attain the feeling of love. You attain the feeling of love and then you want to discipline yourself because you love the discipline, because it brings more love.
Sivaya SubramuniyaswamiKarma is not fate, for man acts with free will, creating his own destiny. The Vedas tell us, if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Karma refers to the totality of our actions and their concomitant reactions in this and previous lives, all of which determines our future.
