We will find many examples of help from Bhagwan when we are open to Him with even half open eyes. The real problem and defect is that our eyes close repeatedly. We get the spark and the effect lasts only for a while. We stay the same as a result. So we have to be aware (mindful) repeatedly and start the process again and again. When this is practiced repeatedly awareness starts staying continuously and with same intensity.

My two cents -- The next blog will explore naam-smaran and how it helps to keep this kind of awareness and change our prakruti as a result.
