Continued from last blog --
All aspects of prakruti has divine consciousness but there is a difference in it. All works and circumstances of sadhak does not have complete descent of the divine consciousness. It is intermingled with his own lower prakruti. It is very important for the sadhak to find out the part played by his own nature and prakruti. Because of this it is very dangerous for the sadhak to imagine or imitate realized soul before he reaches the level of experiencing the real truth himself.
He will have to derive appropriate inference from the new and different circumstances, people, relationships and thoughts. He needs to do this even after mistakes and stumbling in the process. It is apparent that no body can correct the mistakes unless it is brought to their attention. He has to be ready and aware to figure out the changes he needs to make to transform his prakruti. To see the deficiency in his behavior, thoughts and speech he needs a new vision to evaluate these incidents. Only with this new vision he will realize the need for the change. True surrender (and hence the true experience that God always takes care of everything ) is not gained easily and it requires great effort. It is to be developed with love, devotion and knowledge. This surrender with love and devotion increases as the nature and prakruti of sadhak becomes worthy of the descent of the divine. He then realizes that earlier surrender was just the belief and not a matter of fact in life. At the same time he must realize that this divine energy is responsible for the fruits of his labor and avoid the ego that tends to believe that it was his effort that was responsible for this surrender.
