INTENSE AND LONGTERM PRACTICE ( ઉપાસના ) OF NON DUALITY ( અભેદ)

 Nothing happens independently in our lives. The root cause of whatever happens is mainly our Karmas; if we can express this in our experiences with knowledge and Chetna-energy, then only it is possible to experience that Bhagwan is omnipresent. 

In this world, every element is in the form of non-duality. So whatever happens is because of us only. We need to understand that root cause is within us and we need to deal with the work with that in mind. Then only this work does not become our bondage. The Karmas will not touch us only when we keep Bhavna, vruttie, awareness and knowledge according to that work and offer it to Bhagwan. We should not behave according the direction and kind of work. That is not our duty. We have to swim in the opposite direction. 

Sadhak needs to add Bhavna in all his Karmas. As he develops energy, inspiration and Bhavna from Sadhana, this Bhavna must be suffused in all the Karmas. As for example when Sadhak has increased Bhavna of devotion, there will be increase in Bhava of Love; he needs to extend this Lova-Bhava in the people that have come in his contact on their own, because of circumstances of his Karmas, destiny or with purpose. Then only we will have the gauge of the strength of this Bhava of love. Sadhak just cannot stay uni directional, he has taken up the work to bring omni present great Prabhu within him. If he wants to touch the expression of Maha-Prabhu, he must be inspired to express the Bhavna that is generated from his Sadhana, towards everyone that have come in his contact because of destiny, with Love-Bhava. This means, he should not keep vision and vruttie as if they are only for the relatives. They are already there. He needs to embrace everyone with knowledge and awareness while keeping his gorgeous Bhavna. He needs to do everything in his work, devotion, knowledge and meditation, for the success of the aim of his life. He does not need to take care of anyone. By keeping such Dharna, Sadhak has no possibility of any kind of disappointment. The reason being, he will try to find the root cause of disappointment within himself. This is called practicing non-duality. Know that, with this Upasana, Sadhak gets the experience that he is the root cause of the problems of life. Sadhak has no time to find faults of others. At this time, we get concentrated in the Bhavna of Sadhana.

PURPOSE OF THE EXTERNAL SADHANA

 1) Even though we feel that we are different, we are one with everyone; anyone who keeps such Bhava constantly is the experienced one. 

2) Whenever something (especially not likable) happens he will try hard to look for the cause within himself. This process is the practice of non-duality. Know that, constantly practicing this for a long period of time, Sadhak experiences that he is the root of the world. 

3) Whatever we thought, gave a shape, experienced and stored as Sanskars before this birth,          takes shape and are expressed. They are of many varieties. This is due to the varieties of Sanskars. 

4) All the Sansar is because of us, it is within us and whatever is outside is also not separate from us. If we have such living, lively and heartfelt awareness within us, then our Swajans and relationships in Sansar are not separate from us, but are the factual forms of our own Karma's relationship. 

5) Whole Sansar is stuck in the relationship of being separate from each other (ભેદ). By the grace of God, we need to forget being separate from each other. Genuine happiness is possible only when there is no difference in each other (અભેદ). We must feel heartfelt uneasiness when we see or feel separateness from others. Wherever there is separateness, there is death of the life. 

6) Love-Bhava of heart leads to unification of the hearts, and there is expression of Bhava of Oneness.

7) Whatever happens in Sansar, we are the base of it. It is not in others. Others are just the  Nimitta. 

8) Sansar never attaches us, we get attached to Sansar.

9) Out side Sansar and events are only the expressed form of within. 

10) We can not let go of given Dharma. Sansar is the boat of salvation to float (and not sink) from Vrutties.

WORKS IN SANSAR AS SADHANA

    Sadhak should not let go all the activities of Sansar and at the same time not accept any work for no reason. We need to accept the work, only to the extent of our relevance, need, consultation and advice. 

Other work is treated as if it does not exist in our mind, meaning we need to keep separateness with balanced mind. Looking from another angle, everything is present because of the mind only. If we examine ourselves with balanced mind, without attachments and infatuations, we will realize that we got interested in many items with which we had nothing to do and were meaningless to us. We need to engage our mind minimaly in dealings of the world, only to the extent of the need and appropriate responsibility; and that also till the completion of the work. Minimal use of the mind does not mean that the work is considered with the Vruttie that the work is not important. It is best if we do the work as if we are doing the work for Bhagwan. We also need to be careful that we do not impose our ideas on others forcefully. We should continue doing the work that is our responsibility with our best viewpoint and our understanding at that time.

SANSAR — EXPRESSED BHAVA OF BHAGWAN (2)

 Since Sansar is an expressed Bhava of Prabhu, it is an element of Sadhana.

Remember this Vahaalo (Dear one, Bhagwan) constantly by any means while doing any and all kind of works. I consider Sansar as the expressed form of Bhagwan. Just as our Home-Sansar, children is our own reflection, whole universe is the expression of Vahala Prabhu. By His grace, we have received body, Sansar etc., as tools for better understanding Him. 

Prabhu-Bhava in everything

He meets us in different people in different ways and forms, so that we can experience His love for us. Whoever meets us because of karma-destiny, are also His different forms. So, know that we will be able to get free from the clutches of vrutties of duality only if we keep awareness to consider them as Bhagwan and interact with them with such attitude. For this reason, we should never interact with them negatively since all of them are different forms of Bhagwan. If we feel contrary about someone because of our Jiva-Nature and feel that we have ignored Dear Bhagwan and feel grief and repentance, know that it will be possible for us to develop Bhava of refuge in the lotus-feet of Shree Bhagwan. Such a thing does not happen at once. It is not possible to do this without long and constant practice.
