PRACTICING GOODNESS (SADABHAVA, સદભાવ)

We get many opportunities to train ourselves to develop many good qualities in dealings with the world. The condition required is the turning of our attention, vision and natural tendencies towards that goal with complete understanding. How can we utter even single bad word about any soul in front of the other soul if we are convinced of the above matter? We should know that if we utter any negative of any soul then our idea of practicing sadabhava and not talking negative of others is all imagination. The soul that has started practice for developing sadabhava and started to put in practice even on a smaller scale, increases its importance personally as he goes forward with the practice. The reason being the development of peace, equanimity, happiness and simplicity in his life as the sadabhava is practiced with understanding and knowledge. Mind does not get flung around in all the directions. With this practice of goodness mind never gets worried, impatient, conflicted, suffocated, distressed or anguished and that is experienced by the soul that practices goodness. As a result soul feels appropriate to stay in that condition.
