The tools like Tratak, Meditation, Naam-Smaran and Dharana, do not give quick results when used in sadhana. These tools lead the mind in a higher state if we are open with the vision and Bhavna of the heart. If we have the creative understanding with awareness, for the real purpose of using these tools, there is no disappointment for us. In the initial stages, we see lots of difference in Sadhak, Sadhana and the one who directs the Sadhana, due to the lack of the confluence of the these three. I have taken a bath in Prayag, where there is confluence of the three rivers. There is confluence of two rivers Ganga and Yamuna (third river Saraswati was there millenniums back) at this place. Here, these two rivers embrace each other and are intertwined like the braiding of the hair. Even then, the color of the their waters are different to some extent; but it is not the same as they flow forward. Their separate colors become one as the rivers move forward. Similarly, in the initial period of sadhana, there is no harmony between sadhak, sadhana and the one who directs the sadhana. By the grace of God, heartfelt devotion and awakened inquisitiveness, there is harmony, in the later stages of the sadhana. With that, there is harmony of the hearts and confluence of each other. Then there is the real joy and intoxication. So, we have to keep patience and courage, and keep making an effort as much as we can. Do not get involved with the other stuff. Take care of your body and take appropriate measures; there is no need for any shyness.
