THE ART OF YOGA --- (2).

The heart that is simple, easygoing, worry free from all aspects and free from duality is needed to immerse in meditation. We need to train the tendencies of our mind with awareness in our daily lives (interaction while performing our works) to achieve this. This is only possible if we conduct our karmas-relationships-interactions with awareness, knowledge and with the sense of discretion or the bhavna of bhagawan (god) is constantly alive and expressed in all the worldly works.

There is tremendous flood of the bhavna (heartfelt sincerity) due to devotion (bhakti). This bhavna creates an unbreakable castle like living and creative cover around us to stay in its own world without any disturbances. If it is not possible to maintain balanced mind with awareness at this time, then it is possible to be satisfied with this achievement. So there is a need to develop balanced mind. We need to train the mind to feel separate from everything in-spite of being in everything so that we are not attached or stick to the qualities of other souls; we have to make sure that there is no effect on our mind and are not influenced by the them in anything.

We have to carry out our duty towards all people that are connected to us in our lives. It is to be carried out in such a way that helps us to progress in life and also others as well. We have to be sympathetic to people who are not aligned to our way of life and activities of the heart (sympathy, love etc). Our mind should not be involved with them. Sometimes our response with heartfelt sincerity is construed by them as our consent in their actions. So we cannot condone the ignorance and approve it. Not only that the response to our love should make them aware of their ignorance. There should never be any sorrow, anger or any kind of contrariwise feelings from us.
