TREMENDOUS SUPPORT

Bhagawan gives us support in many ways if we continue to remember Him. Since we live in this world, there is going to be puzzles, problems and difficulties. It is the characteristic of the worldly affairs and we cannot change it. That is why we tell you that if we keep on remembering God, there is tremendous support from Him. It is really very strong support and help. This help is lot more than provided by any human being. Whenever our mind gets restless and agitated, if we keep close relation with Him and ask for support all the time; at such times He gives us lots of help, reduces stress resulting in relaxed life style.

WHEN DOES INTELLECT (બુધ્ધિ) GETS ENLIGHTENED (પ્રજ્ઞા)?

Intellect is the nearest part to the divine consciousness (God). Knowledge and illumination are the characteristics of the divine consciousness. Intellect makes us understand variety of relationships in this world but sometimes it does not illuminate like the light of the sun. The reason being, intellect gets covered by the Karmas and Prakruti. Many times our intellect is directed by our desires, wishes and covetousness meaning it is not Satwik (virtuous). It is not evenhanded and balanced. These are the reasons, intellect fails to solve the problems. Otherwise the nature of the intellect is always light, knowledge and understanding. If there is balance and evenhandedness in intellect, it can illuminate and solve any problem. As long as it is directed by attachments and jealousy, it does not give us clear answer.

We need to cleanse the intellect if clear understanding and answers are expected. How can that be done? When one becomes without attachments, selfishness and infatuation; intellect becomes evenhanded, balanced and enlightened.

UNIQUE MAUN MANDIR (ROOMS FOR SILENCE AND SOLITUDE)

I also felt that nothing is going to come out of the lectures. I thought this arrangement is the one, where if I make them sit inside the room, they may think about themselves and may turn toward God even to a small degree. There are lots of difficulties, puzzles and worries in the world. There is no problem laying in bed for 1 week when sick but lot of qualms to sit in Maun Mandir. What if I get sick in Maun Mandir? Some people even ask me "Maharaj, you do not have anybody to worry about, we have families". This is a unique way in India. I am not telling you this because it is my method. It is true service to people if their minds turn towards God even if little bit and there is lessening of attachment, jealousy, desires of all kinds, anger, greed and ego. I do not take credit of this, it belongs to my Guru-maharaj. He inspired me to do this and told me that this is true service.

WHEN THINGS DO NOT GO OUR WAY

July 5, 1963

Swajan: I get disappointed when things do not go my way. Sometimes there is social conflict and there is bad feelings even among brother and sister. What kind of bhavna (attitude, emotions) we should ascertain at such times? 

Pujya Shree Mota: In this world the events do not go according to our assumptions, the reason being different self interests in different people. For that reason, we should not get disappointed. We should make efforts to create harmony, at the same time we need to be careful not to be disappointed in the process. We need to maintain enthusiasm. If we are the ones who get totally disappointed when things do not go our way, we are the losers. Things, incidence or getting what we want, totally does not depend only on our efforts. 

The good feelings amongst your brothers and sisters is unique considering the lives of other human beings in this society. In my mind it has great value. I have also observed that there is lots of hurt feelings and emotional pain experienced between them, from inconveniences and troubles. This is the weakness of human life. There are very few souls who can collect good elements experienced in life for the longest time and enjoy the fragrance of the such goodness. This life is for happiness and life has no meaning without happiness. We have met each other for happiness. If we understand this, we will not give any importance to such insignificant matters that may arise between us. Our lives are well lived with a purpose when we give importance to the happiness and get this joy and happiness from His inspiration.

PURPOSE OF DUALITY

Jan1,1963.

Swajan: I know the defects in my nature and yet I cannot go above it. I feel like turning towards God, but it is forgotten often. Why does that happen? Where is my defect?

Pujya Shree Mota: The purpose of being aware of our defects and its acceptance, should be to get above it. It is not possible to go above it without such awareness, resulting intense pain and heartfelt repentance. We should act with clear understanding and purpose.

We are in the field of duality and governed by it. It is the greatest grace for the human beings to develop inspiration, liking and will to know the divine consciousness. One who lives by it, knows the real importance of the grace. One who has heartfelt excitement to achieve something; such soul gets bliss (ananda) from such creative and lively efforts. The soul that experiences such bliss can make persistent efforts and stick with it. If there is excitement and enthusiasm from our effort, then believe that effort is in the right direction.
