PRAKRUTI ( પ્રકૃતિ ) AND EFFORT -- PART 1

You have written in your letter " who am I to confront and stay tall against the forces of prakruti? ". In the end Prakruti has to bow down if we have determination and infallible firmness. We have to get an upper hand over prakruti. We can not go much further if prakruti is kept as it is. There is no alternative but to keep naam-smaran alive with determination and a firm resolve.

Even though our daily activities is needed, importance needs to be given to naam-smaran. We have to live with harmony in society. We will never make it if we constantly think of bad qualities of other people and make an excuse of it. Bad qualities can be present in others as well as in us also. We need to develop an eye to ignore the bad aspects of other people even if others may not do so. This is true penance (તપ). I have confidence that you will adopt this path (as told by me) with love and devotion. Soul that gives more importance to bad qualities of others and ignores his own can never produce harmony and we want to have harmony. It will never work in this world, society or life if the path of confrontation is adopted. We want to perfect the way of harmony. This is a message to you from my heart and follow it lovingly even if you are alone. I know that you may have to bear a lot to follow this message. I have nothing else to give it to you. So love me regardless.
