NAAM-SMARAN AND NATURAL TENDENCIES

It should pain us tremendously  if we miss even an instant, without remembering Him. If you feel that way, then know for sure that one day you will experience Him. Also know and believe that you live in fools paradise if your expectations are of highest order, but your efforts and behavior are opposite. You in fact do not care for your ideal if you find yourself devoid of the efforts to express love and devotion for your ideal in your day today life. We are not ready to express this ideal ( remembering Him at all the times ) yet. The soul that wants to fulfill this ideal  has to decide very clearly and with great determination. It does not matter what kind of nature you have, but to talk about praising God while continuing to stay in the same old nature, is like cheating your self. So I am telling you with all the humility and prayerful heart to alert the swajans ( close friends ) regarding their inner tendencies. If you want to be awake then act accordingly in your daily works. Fight and oppose unwanted and conflicting natural tendencies with great awareness. At that time call on to God almighty and pray with all your heart for help. Do not get stuck in the muddy land of natural tendencies of the worldly life. God does make us aware off and on when we get stuck in this kind of mud. He makes us experience this in real life but we refuse to accept the purpose and meaning of the experience and that this experience is for our own benefit. It is all right if we do not accept it, but we get mad at Him and then reject Him. What can be the fate of this kind of soul? So if you can wake up and move somewhat in this direction then it is very good. Again it is meaningless if you are going back to the same slumber of natural tendencies after some movement in this direction.
