DO NOT SUPPRESS THE FEELINGS

 You can read the newspapers if you feel like it. It is not proper to suppress the feelings, at the same time it is also not proper and beneficial to be swept away in the forceful feelings. Please note that we have to find the middle way that also strengthens and benefits us. Nothing needs to be suppressed. Anything that is suppressed stays in the mind as garbage. This will resurface off and on and if we are not careful and aware, will knock us down from our path.

CONTINUE TO PRAY

 You should maintain the regular schedule to pray in the morning and in the evening. Even during the day, if you feel that you need to pray, certainly do so. You can pray with humility and include such things as ' we get good thoughts', 'we do not harm anyone', 'we always wish well of others'. You should also pray for your husband.

HOW CAN WE REDUCE THE OPPOSITION TOWARDS THE GURU?

 Surat, 

Feb 23, 1952.

There will be a mental struggle between the Guru and the soul during the initial period of the contact. During this period the soul should not speculate and make hasty decisions in this matter. Try to remind yourself repeatedly, the understanding gotten by the earlier experiences. Awaken the Bhavna (love and devotion) in the heart with sincerity. Definitely ask if you cannot understand something. Do not keep any reservations about it. By the grace of God, I wish that you stand tall and confront the worldly affairs. Read the books and when it is all done, read all of them again. Convey my greetings and salutations to Pujya Baa. Be in lots of happiness.

APPRECIATE ' THE HEART '

 This worldly affairs, world and the whole universe is created and contained in 'the heart'. Universe is so huge! There is no end to it. For this reason, we need to make our heart as wide and infinite as universe. The heart does not have duality and Gunas (human qualities). Even-though it is abstract, it not completely abstract. So the heart also can be considered at the level of Ishwar. Persons like I and you have no concept and understanding about it. If we want to achieve real progress (spiritually) in life, we must obtain the knowledge of recognizing the heart and experience it. Know that, whenever there is real awareness and knowledge of the heart, there is automatic understanding of everything and all happenings.
