MIND CAN BE CONTROLLED BY SATSANG (1)

 Our relationships and contacts with many Jivas in Sansar remain Sansarick since all of us are with Jiva-Nature. If we want to follow path of development of life, we need to think and reevaluate that relationship. We can definitely experience peace and happiness in Sansar, if we can develop balanced mind (Tatasthata) and equanimity (Samata). We need to be alert, and with awareness prevent the mind from turning and acting in the direction of Sansarick interests where there is Raga, Moha (infatuation), Sensual desires, Ego etc;

MEANING OF RAGA (રાગ) - ATTACHMENT, AFFECTION

 Development of the heartfelt Raga in and within the heart, means coming closer for the two Jivas. As the two Jivas with opposite nature and directions come closer to each other, there will be upheavals, deep thinking, difficulties, opposite understanding and churning in the mind. At this time, if Raga in us that is expressed towards such a person keeps us to continue our goodwill and continue to have Raga for such a person, then only believe and understand that, it is true raga.

VERY DIFFICULT PATH

 This path includes many kind of turmoils, huge earthquakes, great scary storms, great revolutions and unimaginable changes. Know that, only the Jivas who have the readiness to welcome, accept, cooperate and face these calamities with love and complete heartfelt enthusiasm to progress in the path of development of Bhavna in life; will be able to follow this path. It is very difficult to follow and progress in this path. This path is very difficult and not all the Jivas are capable of doing it. 

For this reason only, our saints, devotees and wise-knowledgable people (Gyani) have recommended the path of keeping company with saints (સંતસમાગમ). If our mind, chitta, Prana, intellect and ego develop heartfelt affection - attachment (રાગ) for such a person; this affection - attachment that has developed in us because of him, always takes us to a higher level. At the same time, our mind, chitta, Prana, intellect, ego and heart must be full of love, devotion and knowledge. There should be no impurities in it. Nothing should be mixed with it. Then only there is a real possibility for us to develop such affection - attachment.

NEED FOR SATSANG

 Even the faeces  can be useful and it can be converted into fertilizer, but you may need to come in some contact with it. Recently it is possible to use machinery and there is no need to come in its direct contact. There will be no fertilizer if we keep the faeces where it is and not do anything about it, but if we remove it from there and mix it with certain things that can hasten the process to convert it in fertilizer, in due course it will be transformed into fertilizer. Similarly, if Jiva develops heartfelt understanding about the necessity and importance of becoming SHIVA FROM JIVA, then he develops the understanding about the kind of help he needs and with whom he needs to be one with. If he makes an effort at such times with love, devotion and knowledge, there is a possibility for him to become Shiva. 

Just as Mango tree takes many years to bear fruits, the results of the Sadhana are not seen immediately. If you want to get early crop from mango tree, you need to learn the special art to accomplish it. Grafted mango tree bears fruits earlier than ordinary mango tree and the mango is also of better quality. This means if the grafted tree wants to have the best results, it needs to be cut and become one with the main tree. Similarly, if we want to have the best results in our Sadhana, we need to completely immerse and be one with such a person who is our idol and we want to be like him spiritually. It is rather impossible to find such a person in this world. So, we need to merge completely with the Atma who is nearer to such Chetan-Bhavna with knowledge. But how can the Jiva merge? Here, only the Jiva-Nature is an obstacle for the Jiva.
