Action and reaction

by Swami Dayananda Saraswati

This book which belongs to the series 'Moments with oneself' includes four short articles: Life is a role playing; the person is free; the person and the personality; Meditation. 

"When one reacts, one is not able to measure up to a situation in spite of the powers at one's command. Reactions crystallize themselves to create a personality out of a person. Awareness of oneself in every situation gives one enough inner space to play one's roles following the relevant scripts. Reactions, old and piled up, get neutralized. One is no more a personality but a person totally acceptable to oneself and others." 
Swami Dayananda

About the Author:

Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati likes to call himself a traditional teacher of Vedanta, a link in a long unbroken tradition, from Adi Shankara to the present day. Rooted in the richness of tradition, yet contemporary in his thinking and approach, he continuously edits his teaching style to ensure that the vision of Vedanta is communicated with clarity. Impeccable logic, brilliant analysis, erudition, precise use of language, together with a child like humour, make him the greatest living master of Advaita Vedanta. There is none to match his ability to make the audience see as clearly as he does.
