SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS OF THE WHOLE FROM ITS PORTION (1)

 Sadhana of the life is not separate from the life itself. Just as we cannot separate certain period of life from entire life or we cannot completely separate certain mood or any other aspect of life from entire life; we cannot separate Sadhana from life. 

It is a fallacy to believe that we have nothing to do with world, and world will take care of its own problems. Every person or Jiva is associated with other Jivas of the world. Practically, no one can be separated from others. Even though, it can be understood that we can be absorbed in Sadhana-life and may seem to be not connected to others. It is due to nondevelopment of the vruttie of settlement of the solution (even at this time, we cannot deny that any such situation may arise in life). It is also not proper to believe or imagine or understand that world is separate from us. We must stay aware that we are in the world and we are one part of the world.

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF EXTERNAL SADHANA?

 I consider actions performed with understanding that helps us in the practical dealings with Sansar as a part of Sadhana. Just as inner Sadhana is authoritative and reliable, external sadhana is also authoritative from the view point of practical application in Sansar. So, we need to behave in society accordingly. 

Whenever you receive any kind of suggestion from others, divide it as essential and non essential (useful or not useful). Whenever something is told or suggested, if there is no gain (meaning there is no lessening of our Bhavna) or objection, accept it right away and perform the task right away. Ordinarily there is visualization or expression of mind's insistence, likings, attachments, possession etc., in deciding to do the work or not to do the work. If you want to get rid of all these, you must have heartfelt enthusiasm to believe and accept directions from others. The result of the particular work truly depends upon our attitude and purpose while performing the work. It also depends on our understanding and awareness while performing the work.

SADHANA WHILE LIVING IN SANSAR.

 IN THE BEGINNING, START THE SADHANA FROM OUTSIDE. 

Whenever we do something or when something happens, its effect is felt internally or externally. Nothing is not related. Everything is connected with one another. So, sadhana needs to be done both ways, within and externally. It takes time to do such sadhana within. We cannot just sit around till that time. We need to do sadhana from outside so that it has effect within. Mainly, we need to be alert and aware in the mind with mind, and weed (remove unwanted) thoughts, vrutties, feelings and sentiments that are contrary to the central aspiration of the goal of our life. We should not encourage them and do weeding with knowledge. Such weeding is very necessary.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF EXTERNAL SADHANA?

* I tell to anyone who comes to me 'Be faithful to Karmas (work) that are received by you. If you cannot be faithful to the Karmas that are received by you, if you cannot love or create Bhava for the people - Jivas that surround you in Sansar; how are you going to love or create Bhava for Bhagwan? Impossible. 

* It is a fallacy to believe that, we have nothing to do with the world and the world will take care of itself. For sure, every individual or Jiva is connected to other Jivas in the world. 

* We solve the problems of the world, in proportion to the manner in which we accomplish our work. 

* We have to remember that we are indebted to the world, world is not indebted to us. 

* How can we ignore the Sansar (worldly affairs)? Sansar is the expressed Bhava of Bhagwan. For this reason, we should never hate anyone. 

* They all meet us in different forms in Sansar-world, for experiencing love of ए. People who meet us because of Karma- destiny are also different forms of Him. 

* We definitely should not mix completely or be swept away with people related to us or people who have come in contact recently. At the same time, we have to interact with them in such a way that they are not offended and interact with us appropriately. This will make our lives easier. 

* It is one kind of Sadhana and Bhakti (devotion), if our lives are shaped by developing heartfelt Bhava of Goodness and Bhavna of heartfelt Harmony towards the Jivas who have come in our contact.
