Discovering love, Successful living - 98 pages
Arsha Vidya Centre - Research and Publication
ISBN 81-903636-2-X
|
|
◊ Summary
The second volume of 'Public Talks' series of Swami Dayananda, first discusses about 'Discovering love'. Love is one of the most sought after and yet elusive thing for every human being. Swamiji says that love is a profound word that needs to be understood. In the vision of the Vedanta, what one really loves is not an object or a person outside, but oneself. One loves oneself, the self that is pleased. One also loves others who invoke the pleased self in him or her. This talk is about the discovery of love for oneself that ultimately enables one to show love towards others in the form of compassion, sympathy, etc.
The second topic, 'Successful Living', shows that both success and failure are relative terms. When desires become demands, we think that unless we fulfill them we are not successful. Swamiji says: "When you do what is right even though you do not like doing it, and avoid what is wrong, even though you want to do it, you slowly change. Later, you find yourself in a position where what is to be done is what you like to do, and what is not to be done is what you do not like to do. That is, indeed, a successful life.'

The values of values - 148 pages
Arsha Vidya Centre - Research and Publication
ISBN 978-81-903636-7-9
|
|
◊ Summary
This book unfolds the definition and place of values in the teaching of Vedanta. Values such as truthfulness, non-injury, etc. have to be understood and assimilated by a person for him to become spontaneous. Twenty different values from the Chapter XIII of the Bhagavad Gita are commented upon by Swamiji which include absence of pretence, mastery over the ways of the mind, accommodation, etc.
It is not that these values are necessary only for a spiritual seeker, they are equally necessary for anyone who wants to live a life free from conflicts. That means, understanding and assimilating these values is essential for day to day living, and compromising them, due to a lack of understanding, costs us the happiness we are seeking.

Living versus getting on - 39 pages
Arsha Vidya Centre - Research and Publication
ISBN 81-903636-6-2
|
|
◊ Summary
"I consider that living begins when one contributes something that will bring about more joy, more happiness, more light, and more freedom. Until then one merely drags one's life through old age and on to the grave. Just 'getting on' is not really 'living'. To live is to be a positive contributor. Something happens to a person when he or she is able to do something for someone. It is not pride. It is something natural, an inner expansion that is an indication of growth because the essential nature of a human being is fullness, wholeness. This wholeness finds expression when one is able to help others regardless of whether the recipient is known to him or her." Swami Dayananda
It is not that these values are necessary only for a spiritual seeker, they are equally necessary for anyone who wants to live a life free from conflicts. That means, understanding and assimilating these values is essential for day to day living, and compromising them, due to a lack of understanding, costs us the happiness we are seeking.
