REMOVE OPPOSITIONAL TENDENCIES FROM OUR THOUGHT AND INTENT (BHAVANA, ભાવના)

                                                                    HARI OM
Karachi,
February 16, 1939.

We have to make a consistent effort with awareness to live according to our thoughts and intent that we have earlier decided to follow. There should never be inferior thought or imagination afterwards. We can do all needed thinking before fixing our intent and following it. We have to be consistently aware that there should not be any tendency or indecision creeping in afterwards. This needs to be done with all our actions otherwise we will be wandering all over according to our nature. We must stop and examine ourselves when such inconsistencies cause oppositional tendencies to our intent. Well, it is ideal if we think according to our intention that is fixed earlier but we should never be swept away in the currents of contrary thoughts and emotions. So please train yourselves to be aware when such situations arise. If we fail to remove such inconsistencies that is not appropriate with our intended thoughts and intention, there will be great reduction in the force to carry out our intended actions as determined earlier.  Such an event causes sudden pull and hesitation leading to explosion that destroys the force of our original decision and intention. It is like a turning wheel with presence of a large nail causing friction and noise. This friction and noise can upset us and occasionally can break the wheel too. This is exaggerated due to motion of the wheel. So know for sure, that just like this nail causing severe damage to the wheel, the contrary thoughts becomes treacherous to fulfilling our intention.
