About This Book
With great delight we place before the aspirant-world, the present work ‘Adhyatma Yoga’ by Swami Sivanandaji Maharaj, the world renowned sage, who needs no introduction. This book contains over four hundred highly illuminating, and inspiring poems on a variety of subjects connected with religion, philosophy, etc., and will serve as a happy companion to the author’s other poem-books published already, viz. ‘Wisdom Sparks’, ‘Waves of Bliss’, ‘Jnana Jyoti’, and ‘Wisdom in Humour’.
Coming as it does from the pen of a realised sage, this book is rich in sagely wisdom and wit, and should prove an invaluable asset to every seeker in his onward march to Godhead. We hope the aspirant world will take advantage of this precious boon, study it, assimilate the wisdom contained in it, and practising it in their everyday life, expedite their march to Perfection, Peace and glory.
Introduction
The attainment of God-realisation is the goal of human life. Great seers, saints and sages have been from time immemorial voicing this truth and striving to spread the gospel of God-realisation in different ways, through books, speeches, heart-to-heart talks, etc. And exactly it is to remind man of his Goal, and to show him the path that leads to it that this book ‘Adhyatma Yoga’ is dedicated.
The first chapter of this book deals with the nature of God. The second chapter throws light on the concept of religion. Various subjects connected with philosophy are discussed in the next chapter. The fourth chapter raises the clarion call to Sadhana, pointing out to man the false, perishable nature of the world, and the glory and sublimity of a life in Spirit. The fifth chapter is rich in profuse instructions to aspirants on their path of Sadhana, and will be treasured by all earnest aspirants. Formulas for Vedantic meditation are given in the sixth chapter. The seventh chapter, containing a series of addresses made to the mind and senses will be found highly useful by all Sadhaks, as it throws much light on how to coax and cajole the riotous mind and senses. The path of devotion is dealt with in chapter VIII, and the glory of Divine Name is described in chapter IX. In this age of hatred and dissension, the message of love alone will be the saving factor, and a full chapter (viz. chapter X) is devoted to a discussion of ‘Love’ and its infinite potencies. Sadhana, to be successful, has to be done under the guidance of a Guru. The glory and need of Guru are dealt with in chapter XI. Chapter XII gives out the experiences of a Sage of Realisation,–the experiences which are the Sadhak’s ideal. A description of the characteristics of a saint is given in chapter XIII. Chapter XIV is a highly interesting treatise on a wide variety of subjects, and thinkers and intellectuals will immensely like the thoughts contained in this chapter. Definitions, from a spiritual angle, of different things and phenomena are given in chapter XV. A description of woman, the spiritual helpmate of man, is given in chapter XVI. Chapters XVII and XVIII respectively convey valuable lessons through humour and stories. The concluding chapter deals with the means of acquiring health and long life, so very essential for attaining God-realisation.
It is hoped that all aspirants will make the best use of this book, by studying it and putting the teachings into actual practice.
May Lord bless you all.
Essence of Swamiji’s Teachings
“Eat a little, drink a little, talk a little, sleep a little,
Mix a little, move a little, serve a little, rest a little,
Do Asan a little, Pranayama a little, Reflect a little,
Do Vichar a little.
Do Japa a little, do Kirtan a little, write Mantra a little,
Meditate a little,
Serve, love, give, purify, meditate, realise,
Be good, do good, be kind, be compassionate.
Be bold, be pure, be truthful,
Be patient, be tolerant, be obedient.
Be simple, be humble, be noble, be gentle,
Adapt, adjust, accommodate,
Bear insult, bear injury, highest Sadhana.
Enquire “WHO AM I”; know the Self and be free,
Be still, be quiet, know thy Self,
Find the Hearer, find the Seer, find the Knower,
You are not this body, not this mind:
Immortal Self you are.”
–SIVANANDA

Chapter Eighteen–Wisdom Through Stories
1. Story of Two Disciples–I
A Teacher said to his disciples,
“Here are two pigeons,
Take one each and kill it
In a place where nobody sees you.”
One took it to a forest
And killed it in a place where there was none to see him.
The other was wise enough
He saw the pigeon seeing him through its eyes
He returned back to the teacher with the pigeon.
He felt that Aham is always there
To witness the act.
He said to the teacher,
“I cannot find a place where anybody does not see me.
The silent witness is everywhere present.
I felt the law’s presence everywhere.
2. The story of Two Disciples–II
A teacher said to his disciples
“Here are two plantain fruits.
Take one each and eat it,
In a place where nobody sees you.”
One took it, closed the room
And ate it.
The other was wise enough
He felt the omnipresence of God
He returned to the teacher with the fruit.
3. Raja Janaka and Pundits
Some Pundits criticised Raja Janaka.
“Raja Janaka is a worldly man
How can he be a Jnani or a sage?”
Raja Janaka wanted to teach them a lesson
He called all Pundits
And gave them a very good feast
Many tasty preparations were served
All the Pundits were rejoicing.
They saw a sword hanging above their heads
The sword was tied by means of a hair.
They all trembled
They all mixed everything and ate hurriedly.
They came to the Durbar
Raja Janaka asked
“O Pundits, what all things you ate today?”
Were they all nice according to your taste?
The Pundits replied,
“Our minds were on hair only
We do not know anything
We did not relish anything”
Janaka said,
“O Pundits! Similar is the state of my mind
My mind is fixed on Brahman alone
I do not know anything of this world.”
The Pundits put down their heads in shame
They now realised the state of a Jivanmukta.
4. Compare Ramayana and Bharatam
A teacher asked the students
“Compare Ramayana and Bharatam”
One student said,
“There are 4 brothers in Ramayana,
There are 5 brothers in Bharatam”
Another said,
“Each brother had a wife in Ramayana,
The five Pandavas had one wife Draupadi.”
A third said,
“Book Ramayana has a black cover
Bharatam has a blue cover.”
A fourth said,
“Sri Rama lived in the forest for 12 years
The Pandavas lived in seclusion for 13 years.”
A fifth said,
“Ravana was destroyed through Sthree Ishana (desire for woman),
Duryodhana was destroyed through Land Ishana. (desire for land)”
The teacher praised the fifth student
And gave him a gold medal.
Annihilate the Ishanas three
And attain Bliss Eternal
This is the essential teaching of all scriptures.
5. A Poor Man and Kubera
A poor man went to a forest,
And met a Rishi.
The Rishi gave the poor man Kubera Mantra,
For attaining wealth.
The poor man repeated the Mantra.
Kubera appeared before the poor man,
And said “Ask me any boon”
The poor man said,
“Give me four seers of bran for my cow”
The poor man ought to have asked
“Give me Moksha, give me great wealth.”
Even so some devotees who meditate
Ask God to give petty things of the world.
O man! Ask God to give you devotion,
Wisdom, Light and Moksha.
Care not for trivial mundane things.
6. A King and the Court Pundit
A king said to his Court Pundit
“Bring a man who is blissful here and there also.
Bring another man who is miserable here and there also.
Bring a third man who is happy here and miserable there
Bring a fourth man who is miserable here and happy there.”
The Pundit was in a great dilemma,
His intelligent daughter helped him
“Take this sage before the king
He is happy here and there also.
Take this beggar before him
He is miserable here and miserable after his death also.
Take this wicked rich man before him
He is happy here but miserable in hell after his death.
Take this ascetic before him
Who has emaciated his body.
He is miserable here but happy there in heaven”
The Pundit gained strength now
He took the four people before the king
The king was quite satisfied now.
