According to the law of karma, every action produces a result. So, any kar ma perfor med with the intention of it benefiting the departed, will definitely do so.

The whole universe is one, and the power of thought is great. No thought dies without any effect. So, any karma backed by a powerful thought, according to scriptural injunctions, invoking the deity’s power to help the jiva, will certainly bear fruit.

Any obstacle on the path of the jiva can be neutralised, minimised and overcome, by God’s grace, by the power of a mantra and good thoughts. The jiva will surely be benefited by the combined strength of all these.

Further, whether or not the result reaches the jiva, the one who performs the puja feels very happy. This is a direct result of having done something with sincerity for the other jiva , and this can be experienced immediately.

Life is mastered. 2.The second characteristic of the mind is constancy of activity. Never for a single moment is the mind still. 3.The third characteristic is...

Raga, Dvesha, Jealousy, passion, and greed are everywhere. You will find the same earth, the same sky, the same air, and the same water. And you carry with you the same mind. Imagination and change of place have deceived not a few. O man! Be contented. Live where you may, but discipline the mind and the senses. Meditate on the Inner Self, the Antaratman, ceaselessly. Here you will find the everlasting peace.

 ====================================================================== ====================================================================== Sunday, May 22, 2022. 20:30. An Introduction to Sadhana : (Spoken during the Sadhana Week held at Sivanandanagar in the year 1965.) ====================================================================== The Sadhana Saptaha or the Sadhana-week is a period in which we are supposed to recall to our mind the principles for which we live on earth and the way in which we have to conduct ourselves in life. This sadhana is not a programme for mere seven days but, as all of you are aware, it is the programme for human life as a whole. Sadhana is not to be segregated to a part of one's life. One is expected to be good always. The highest goodness is to aspire for Godliness. Spiritual sadhana is not one aspect of life but is the essence of life itself, because we cannot be something in one part of our being and some other in another part, just as we ca...
