Just as we need to be tested when we understand, observe and analyze ourselves with equanimity, testing is also necessary to propel us forward. Lots of people have mentioned that times are hard to bear when one undergoes testing. Just as one fights in the battlefield with vigor and intensity and develops a kind of focused attention, there develops similar focused attention in the deserving sadhak who is undergoing the testing. Nothing gets sharpened without this testing. It is necessary to test the appropriateness of the development in one's life. It is not possible to judge the strength of one's life without these tests. It is a measure of the real worth of the sadhak when life becomes luminous, bright
and full of energy at the time of testing. Testing is a step for the progress in the life. It is also true that the testing is a time for the examination, struggle and mental gloom. It is never a period of repentance, sorrow or infatuations. In fact true sadhak becomes more alert and aware. Testing is not a maze but an eye opener, developer of love, devotion, bhavna and force for development. It is also an instrument to propel us forward in the path. If we accept this times of testing with love and devotion and act with the awareness of its purpose, we will definitely shine.
