INTROSPECTION -- (1)

In spite of being attacked by his lower nature, sadhak with care and awareness, tries to observe and act to prevent inappropriate behavior by him towards others. He has to understand his actions at every moment and have the real understanding of his inappropriate behavior. If he has recognized himself correctly then his vision, tendency and inclination is always to look for mistake in his thought process, speech and actions. Anyone who sees or tries to look for the fault of others when one is in sad circumstances or faces unjust behavior of others is not a sadhak or at least for the time being that soul is in delusion. As he progresses in his development he will notice that his lower nature tries hard to keep him in her control, at times like the tricks of a magician. When this lower prakruti sees her power lessening she does not keep quite but tries harder with more strength and vigor to rule over sadhak. These attacks takes different and changing forms with different garbs. Introspection is the weapon of defense against this illusory attacks of lower prakruti.
