Now I will come back to original subject. We need to do naam-smaran, read holy books and learn the art of behavior so that there is no friction when we come in contact with others. To achieve this we need to make an honest effort with faithfulness, love and devotion. Together with this we also need to learn to be our own observer. We will need to see our mind and other inner instruments. By doing this we develop the strength and understanding that we are actually different from them. We do not become one with them because of this understanding and become the witness to them.
Realized soul (person) does not have any difference in his mind, intellect, chitta, prana and ego. If we make an effort to merge with his heart with heartfelt sincerity then we can experience some of the natural virtues of his heart like peace and happiness. It requires an effort from our side though.
Divine consciousness has many characteristics and all these prevail at the same time. These characteristics are experienced by the realized souls. Start with watching the mind without becoming one with it and keep praying at the same time. We will definitely reach our destination with this kind of effort. Help is around the corner if we pray with humility and heartfelt emotions. This kind of condition is achievable with an effort. If we can do self observation (introspection), merge with the heart of the realized soul and pray with humility; it is possible to maintain peace and happiness. Further directions for progress open for us then.
