 The Philosophy of
Voluntary Simplitudes

When we simplify we attain the gift of

being able to give of ourselves more, as
well as gaining the time to do it.

material things must be put into their
proper place. they are there for use.
all right to use them;
but when they have oulived their
usefullness, be ready to reliquish them
and perhaps pass them on to someone
who does need them.

anything that you
cannot reliquish
when it has outlived
its usefullness
possesses you, and
in this materialistic
age a great many of
us are possessed
by our
possessions. we
are not free!
from steps toward
inner peace

Simplification is a choice that can only bring good to
our life.
When we choose to simplify all aspects of our lives we
soon begin to live with purpose and truth.
The realness of our lives appears and not only can we
get on with doing what is really important but receive
answers on what we are truly meant to do.

dr.sarma 6
When you simplify you are in a sense
purifying, which in turn leads to clarity.

You are suddenly free from negative

thought patterns, habits and unnecessary
rituals, which consume your time and
money.

dr.sarma 7
Simplicity will not only affect us as a whole
individual but our spiritual, environmental,
and financial areas as well.

Once we have brought your living to your

own basic need level we can begin our
journey.

for you,
"Living in a way that is outwardly
simple and inwardly rich."

dr.sarma 9
Simplicity means taking charge of a life that
is too busy, too stressed, and too
fragmented. An uncluttered simplicity
means cutting back on trivial distractions,
both material and non-material, and
focusing on the essentials -- whatever those
may be for each of our unique lives. As
Thoreau said, "Our life is frittered away by
detail... Simplify, simplify." Or, as Plato
wrote, "In order to seek one's own direction,
one must simplify the mechanics of
ordinary, everyday life."

Do you have enough money?
Are you spending enough time with your family and friends?
Do you come home from your job full of life?
Do you have time to participate in things you believe are
worthwhile?
If you were laid off from your job, would you see it as an
opportunity?
Are you satisfied with the contribution you have made to the
world?
Are you at peace with money? Does your job reflect your
values?
Do you have enough savings to see you through six months of
normal living expenses?
Is your life whole?
Do all the pieces -- your job, your expenditures, your
relationships, your values -- fit together?

3) Non-cooperation: All the senses must be
withdrawn slowly from their respective
centres of pleasure. If you go on denying all
the desires, then they will die a natural death.
So continue this incessant process of
dynamic self-denial and become a
conqueror of all desires. Thus having
washed clean the mind of all Vasanas, the
aspirant ultimately rejoices and sports in the
pure consciousness, bliss and self-delight of
Atmic awareness. --Sri Swami Chidananda
