SATSANG SADHANA - SHREE SATGURU (3).

 SATSANG — (3).

No matter what kind of bad atmosphere is affecting us; if by the grace of God, we feel the waves of good Sanskaras and if we catch and learn the art of catching such waves of good Sanskaras, we can create new life for us. Moreover, even if we are surrounded by bad atmosphere and if we take advantage of Satsang (company of good and holy people) because of good Sanskars, it is always beneficent to us. We may be under the effect of old bad atmosphere for a while but it does not take long to create beautiful new atmosphere if we do not have attraction of the old and have removed our mind and heart from old atmosphere (by doing heartfelt Naam - Smaran with Bhava). When our mind and heart start enjoying Naam-Smaran, there is nothing that can change that new atmosphere. Just as there are attractions of bad things, attraction of this is lot more attractive, if we have intense and constant desire for it. In fact, human being's inner vruttie is to turn to Bhagwan. This way, atmosphere plays a major role in our development.

 SATSANG — (2)

Staying with holy people also provides good effects on the atmosphere. This happens only if we have expression of faith, trust, great respect, love and devotion within us towards such holy people. This heartfelt relationship cements itself automatically since there is Bhava of goodness mutually, and if we do not separate from them because of our ignorance, (meaning we fail to make constant efforts and our Bhava of goodness - respect do not disappear for some reasons) this relationship stays for life and we continue to be affected with it, even if our mind agrees or disagrees with it. 

This requires more purity and holiness of Gunas (good qualities) than required in the path of development of life. For this reason, measures of the Sadhak are somewhat different from other human beings. It is very necessary for him to see that there is absolutely no presence of any thoughts or feelings of lack of faith or the absence of Bhava of goodness in his mind towards the person who is his guide. Such vision and purity can come from only such good atmosphere. To create good atmosphere, it is an easier path to increase the strength of good than trying to remove bad. There is no doubt that whoever has the strength can create good atmosphere, the reason being evil tendencies cannot defeat or compete with his mind. It is not that, there is no interference by the evil in the efforts to preserve good atmosphere. In the fight between good and bad, good always wins and it lasts for longer time.

SATSANG SADHANA — SHREE SATGURU ( 1 )

 SATSANG — 1

Most easy Sadhana — Satsang. There is one more Sadhana that is even easier than this and this is to make our mind and heart meet, know and become one with the same interest, with the heart of the person who has realized his own self.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere can shake the human being. He is being built by the strength of the atmosphere. Strong Atma creates the atmosphere from itself. So, atmosphere cannot affect such strong Atma. This subtle atmosphere may not always lift human being higher. Many times, it is such that we should escape from its effects. One of the ways to be saved from the effects of such atmosphere is to constantly help or think about helping others. If we can keep our mind busy constantly in Satwik activities, it is not affected by other kind of atmospheres." Actively involved in Satwik ways" means mind does not have interest in any other kind of activities. Even if, activity is least important, there should be Bhava of Bhagwan constantly present in such Satwik activities." 

Our mind is the most subtle thing amongst all our strengths. Atmosphere can easily disturb it. Also, mind can be easily disturbed by the physical touch of the sexual organs. Mind also takes lot more beating in subtle atmosphere. Closeness to good or bad people creates impacts and snatching on the mind and this creates more good-harm to the mind, the reason being such impacts and snatching on the mind has more effect on the mind. For example, even when the senses are withdrawn from its object of interest with intense efforts; interest of the mind in the objects of the senses; atmosphere and restraint that is created with intense efforts become useless and false.

DO NOT JUDGE ANYONE

 Almost all Human beings have their own measure and they evaluate everyone with that measure. He considers some people good and some people bad. So, the same person may appear to be 'good' to one person and 'bad' to other person. We see this in dealings with the people in Sansar. Such standard is determined by the untrained, dirty and impure tendencies of the mind, and intellect that is only half trained. So it is narrow and not worth to depend on it. Therefore it is entirely improper to judge anyone with these standards. Not only that, when we do that, it is our own biggest defect. Bhagwan Jesus Christ has said that 'do not judge any one, otherwise you will be judged.' Know this for sure.
