FINDING THE WAY FROM DIFFICULTIES (3)

 You wrote me that, leaving the activities of Prakruti leads to inertia and instead of developing the art of the Karma it leads to no karma or dullness in the Karma; but as long as there is Prakruti, human being has a body and as long as there is Prakruti, the body continues to perform the Karmas. Only the form of the Karma changes when one advances in Sadhana. Even then, one continues to perform physical Karmas as long as one has a body. Of course it is possible that such Karmas may appear trivial in the eyes of the world. Otherwise why would Pujya Gandhiji say, that in his eyes the work of Prime minister and the person who cleans the streets have same value if the work is done appropriately? So, even if the Sadhak is using all his energy in performing the work in a very small field compared to the field earlier, it affects the world effectively and its totality. It is possible that the world may not be able to appreciate the results. This is because he uses all of his energy that is produced as a result of his concentration and focus in the work. The work of the Chief of the army affects the whole army but it may not be appreciated as much as the work of a soldier that is more visible but affects only small area of action. Our views about the meaning of expertise in the Karma, value of the Karma and the ideas about inertia will change. Know that this will surely happen.

FINDING THE WAY FROM DIFFICULTIES (2)

 It is written in Gitaji that even the experts get confused to define Karma (action) and Akarma (inaction or evil action). We may make mistakes but if we have enthusiasm and honest intention, all pervading Shree Prabhu will teach us from our mistakes and show us many different and better ways to deal with them. We will get the clarity regarding our actions and realize that most of our actions and activities are done to satisfy our ego and fulfill the demands of the prana. We need to 'go within' to visualize and understand this happenings. Just as the scientist gets intently involved in his work, we must 'go within' for exploration with constant intense attention and focus. Then only, you will understand the real meaning of 'insistence of contampletion of Shree Prabhu'.

FINDING THE WAY FROM DIFFICULTIES (1)

 HARI OM

February 17, 1954.

People who wish to live or already living in Sansar, will always encounter difficulties, troubles, weariness, etc., in their lives. For the people who wish to turn to Sadhana or people who have already turned to Sadhana, these difficulties do not disappear. By the grace of God, solution of the difficulties is always found (one or the other way) for the people who get focused on one aim. For example, Pujya Mahatma Gandhiji accepted the aim to achieve freedom for India and had to endure lots of difficulties and problems. He always found the answers for very difficult problems by following his aim with one pointed divine faith (Nistha) and heartfelt Bhava. Similarly, while traveling on this path, if we determine to let go of all our insistences other than the contemplation of Shree Prabhu, by His grace, we will definitely get the solution of our problems.

PURITY

 When Shamata (સમતા) is fully expressed not only through Bhavna but with understanding (that also with knowledge and perceptible experiences) and with heartfelt sincerity, whatever impurities are not purified so far, disappears soon. None of the impurities of the Jiva-Nature can survive in such condition. When someone asks, how can we start such purification process? One can surmise from this question that the person has not felt its utmost necessity. If there is a firm determination to achieve purity, one would turn the head as soon as one notices impurity. For sure, one would do at least this much. Actually any negative tendency of the Jiva-Nature can be classified as impurity. Purity is not just to be measured by morality, as the standard of morality is very low. Human being with determination and help of the intellect can stop the forces of prana for a while. But this is not enough for sadhana. It is an exaggeration to believe that, just by the thought and its execution, one can achieve the purity. Such thought as 'the measure of the morality is the highest standard in spirituality' has not originated by the experiences of life in sadhana. It is not born out of such experiences. With purity, power and strength are established. All the senses and inner instruments like mind, intellect etc. become knowledgable and aware of its potential. They start expressing and behaving with reality and appropriateness. Morality looks dry and incomplete when compared to intense and expressed Bhava of sadhana. It does not mean that morality is not necessary. It is just that purity required for the sadhana cannot be achieved by just morality. Purity needed for sadhana goes lot farther. For this reason, we need to be alert and careful about the games played by mind, prana, and intellect and cultivate the practice being separate from the games with knowledge. In spite of doing all these, with the Grace of Shree Prabhu, we must continue to give utmost importance to the heartfelt Bhavna of the sadhana. Only with that, everything expresses in proper and appropriate manner.

NEED FOR ACTION (KARMA)

 We must live in the beginning, middle and end of the karma by expressing the heartfelt living and creative  Bhavna that whatever karma is done is for the love of Shree Prabhu. For us the Karma as such has no significance. It is a 'Yagna' to develop and solidify such Bhavna that work is done to develop and solidify such Bhavna that work is done for the love of Shree Prabhu. Karma is an invaluable opportunity to give shape to that Bhavna. Sadhak needs to practice watching his mind, intellect, prana, and ego regarding its reactions and behavior while performing the work. If he can practice this with knowledge and awareness, he can understand himself clearly and appropriately. He can also know how and where to guide them (mind, intellect, etc.).
