BE SEPARATE FROM VRUTTIES.

 We do not need to ignore expectations, thoughts and wishes that arise within us but we do not need to give them space with love. We must separate the mind from outer pleasures and minds vruttie of its right and ownership. We need to consider tender feelings, vrutties, thoughts, Bhavnas, interests, desires, expectations that are within us or arise within us; separate from us and act accordingly. We should understand that all these belong to mind and sense organs (indriyos), and not only that we need to be constantly aware that they do not guide us. There should be an attempt by us to stay above it and develop balanced mind towards them. With all that, we should constantly remember Bhagwan and offer everything at His lotus feet.

OUR TENDENCY TOWARDS NEGATIVE VRUTTIES

 Roughness of nature (Swabhava) means awakening of contrariwise feeling towards others. If we believe that we should not care about it at all, it is like falling in the ditch with eyes covered with bandage. Just by ignoring negative vrutties of Jiva-Nature it does not disappear. As a matter of fact, such rough corners of our prakruti or nature should sting us a whole lot. Until we feel that it is our weakness or fault and it is great hindrance in our Sadhana, we will be not able to get free from it. We can be alert about it only when such vruttie stings us. 

Some people say that we should not show any interest in such thought, vruttie or feeling when it arises. Presently for me and you this is not possible. They should tell us this truthfully and give us true understanding about it like,' brother when thoughts and vrutties arise, it continues in the form of chain and if there is fault of anyone, it is our own fault. The reason being, we have attachment and interest in certain thoughts or vrutties, and until this attachment and interest is removed it is not possible to ignore such thoughts and vrutties. For this reason, we should continue with our main activity that we are handling at present. If there is no interest, enthusiasm and liking for it, we may not be able to attend to that activity wholeheartedly. In reality, we will not be able to do anything, unless we become aware, alert  and rise up. Nothing will happen unless we become active and alert.

SAY GOOD BY WITH LOVE TO NEGATIVE VRUTTIES.

 We must master the art of saying good by to the negative reaction that develops within us from the tendency and behavior of the other persons. This may happen many times in the beginning. Moreover we should also master the art of saying good by with love to whatever is going on in the our mind. This means we should not make any chain of thoughts with understanding from any thought, vruttie, feeling or Bhavna that spring within us. We should be alert with awareness to see that the vruttie passes by on its own. When this is practiced for a while, reaction and counter reaction will go away completely and there will be expression of 'going within' in increasing strength in life. We need to step back from the disturbances in life. This cannot be achieved with artificial pressure. Know that this is possible only if we rekindle the strength of our ultimate aim in the heart and realize its need in our life. For example, some people used to tell me lots of unpleasant things during my Sadhana period. To make sure that this does not leave bad imprint within me, I used to say good by with love to such vrutties and I used to write poetry to achieve this aim.

WHAT IS VRUTTIE (PENCHANT, TENDENCY)?

 Human being is very careful to spend money in Sansar, but he mismanages the free gift given to him naturally, and hardly any Jiva is even aware of it. The capital of the vruttie of the Jiva is in the form of energy (Shakti). We can experience in the worldly affairs that new creation is done by vruttie. The kind of creation depends upon the kind of vruttie. So, the Jiva who wants to follow the path of Bhagwan must observe the kind of vruttie and thought commiserate with his actions. The Jiva who tries to observe his vrutties and thoughts with impartiality and knowledge, and tries to keep vrutties and thoughts of  higher category at that time, experiences that Vruttie is a form of energy. 

Vruttie plays major role in whatever happens. Vruttie is shaped by vruttie. Nothing happens without the expression of vruttie, and vruttie is always expressed while in Jiva-Nature. No one can stop it. So, it is in the hands of the human being to keep alertness filled with awareness,  knowledge and devotion in the vruttie. Jiva will act according to his habit only. Jiva who desires to go higher or lower will definitely go higher or lower. Karma can be good or bad, and  human being will get all kind of karmas in life. Every Jiva understands the karma according to his understanding. Many people who are good at dealings with others use subtle methods to get their work done. Others may not have any understanding of their methods. So the karma gets done according to intensity of the awareness. For this reason, we always understand what was our level in past, what is at present and what it would be in future from the development of the vruttie. Whoever tries to understand himself thoroughly, will definitely understand himself, and if he understands, he will definitely wake up. 

When we develop vruttie at certain level, we can experience that this vruttie will move us in the other subjects at similar level. As for example, if we develop vruttie of hunger, it will engage our mind in eating. When there is a vruttie of taking a bath, it will definitely engage the mind and body in that topic. If a developing vruttie makes us enter in the similar subject vruttie, then only we can know it as a vruttie of similar kind of topic. It is not easy to keep vruttie without expression. There is natural measure of the vruttie, like it will guide the mind in that particular topic, it is different matter if it is fulfilled or not. So vruttie always guides the mind in the subject of vruttie. Thus Vruttie is movement, it can never be elastic.
