We must see the depth and strength of any thought that arise in our mind. It is true that when putting that thought in practice, there should be sincerity, honesty, love and devotion. At the same time we should not be guided by the thought. It is true that we should follow a certain thought that keeps us goading constantly, does not leave us even if we are busy with something else and disturbs us all the time. At the same time we should understand the basis of the thought and reasons behind the goading. There is a kind of "absorption in thought" even in inspiration. But the genuine inspiration does not have any kind of choice, one way or the other. It is a kind of guiding force. Some times this guiding force can be misguiding force too! Since sadhak is always trying to surrender to Bhagwan, he is saved from this debacle. His conviction that no misunderstanding, tendencies or any thing else is going to change his path keeps him worry free. Even then he keeps the eyes of his heart open.
These eyes are equanimity and sense of discretion. By developing the equanimity we need to awaken our spark of divine within us and make it govern our lives.
