TO BEAR WITH KNOWLEDGE IS LOVE.

 Everyone has their own way to reside, live and act. If we must mingle with the family, we need to behave according to their ways. If we want to stay with harmony, there should be happiness in tolerance with knowledge and awareness. Life gets wretched by bearing forcibly and against the will. There is lots of unexpressed unhappiness, hate and dislike in the mind. It never happens that our own person will always behave as we think or wish. When we are ignorant regarding our own faults, forbearance and high mindedness, to believe that our understanding is proper in all circumstances is wrong.  Also, there is ignorance in that belief. Some people have the mentality that whatever they understand is always correct and everything must be done according to their wishes. This is a kind of self-will.

HOW CAN THE BEHAVIOR BE LIKE THE THOUGHTS?

 "Mota ! Why is there a difference in thoughts and behavior? Many times the thoughts are very good but it cannot be put in practice that easily."

Pujya Shree Mota: Great souls behave first and think later; while we have it exactly opposite. Why can't we act even one Rupee's (currency of India) worth when we have thoughts worth one thousand Rupees? There is a need for inner inspirational strength to put a good thought in practice. We have not received such strength yet. This inner inspirational strength cannot be achieved without hard sadhana or sprouting of Love-Bhakti in the heart or without burning aspiration to achieve the goal; or if we have the lively, creative Bhavna in the mind, and rock solid intimacy (that we can keep in our mind all the time) with the Atma from whom we want to receive knowledge. Then only, we have good thoughts to achieve the goal and it can be put in practice.

IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS

 It is not that when a Jiva gets the knowledge and wisdom, he does not know the prakruti of the some other Jiva. We should be immediately alert and aware when a vruttie to see faults of others or understand others arise within us. At such times, we should straighten the mind. Try to gather the mind from such circumstances and push it in the right direction. It is impossible to do this without the knowledge and awareness. Yet imagination is one thing and Bhavna of puting it in practice is another. This means that there should be mixture of knowledge and behavior commiserate with our goal. We must be aware that we should do this with knowledge and devotion. Know for sure that everything will be all right while performing all and any work or interacting with others if the lively and creative heartfelt Smaran (remembering God) is going on in the mind.

DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE (SADHANA) IS DIFFICULT AND GET DISAPPOINTED

 Iy is absolutely harmful for the sadhak to say by mouth or harbor such vruttie that all these (sadhana) is very difficult and we cannot do it. It is best for the sadhak to get rid of such vruttie as soon as possible.

Sadhak must get automatic understanding whether the speech, behavior, code of conduct in society, all the deeds and other things like that, are appropriate for the progress in life's development. Only then, sadhak can save himself from such pitfalls.
