To day's blog concludes the writings on anusthan.

It is possible to have another question like " how can the impressions of a saint, express and benefit the soul, when it ( soul ) keeps on adding worldly impressions, as a result of karma and fate?" These worldly impressions gets stronger and more powerful over a period of time. With deeper analysis it becomes apparent, that the present contact with the saint is a result of his past association according to karma and fate. So he has achieved at least that much of a qualification in some mysterious way. This contact will definitely be fruitful, since it is the result of past favorable circumstances. It may appear that he is living his life, in old routine way. But because of this contact, there will definitely be some stirring of movements deep in his mind. This may be small and insignificant at the time. It is also inappropriate to believe, that this undeveloped soul does not make any effort for development of his life. He may live his life according to effects and impressions from his karma and fate. He will also act in a similar fashion, to the higher impressions from a saint to some degree. These higher impressions will get stronger with saint's blessing and anusthan. These new impressions from the saint, unlike old karma and fate impressions, will not go to waste. In effect, two opposing kind of impressions are registered on his mind. Impressions from the saint are definitely stronger than that of karma and fate. This is not some kind of imaginary tale. It is based on true incident and can be explained and supported by higher intelligence.

Worldly impressions are full of infatuations, jealousy, sex and anger and it has deep attachment. Soul with these impressions, may be attracted to the saint. In return, he will always receive higher impressions without any attachments, from the saint. This is because the saint does not have any attachments. Life of the saint is full of greatness, brilliance, vitality and God's energy. It is so powerful that once soul is attracted towards him, the saint will remove the force behind the soul's attachments to worldly impressions. And at appropriate time, will make his own impressions manifest in soul's life.

In this fashion, tale of anusthan is a subject of only experience.
