OUR DEFECT AND THE REMEDY

 Even though there is a desire to implement certain things between us, for some reason we fail to implement. The main reason is the lack of intense desire within us. If there is presence of such desire within us, it will not allow us to sit around without taking action regarding that matter. So what should we do to develop such desire. Such a desire already resides in our inner instruments like heart, mind, intellect etc., but it cannot break the the external layers that surround it. Certain things need to be done to break open these layers that surround our desire. We should cultivate goodness towards everyone with contemplation and prayers. At the same time there is need to stop thinking and acting with attachments and hate towards others. We must work towards keeping and maintaining this Bhava with steadiness. If we can do this there is no reason for our desire not to develop wings to fly high in the sky. Once that happens it becomes natural to develop higher life and keep it.

INTELLECT AND RESTLESSNESS

 Since this is the time of science, people have developed intellect with strength and force. At the same time there is no focus in it. The result being development of restlessness in intellect. If there was development of focus with strength and force in intellect, there would not be restlessness in the intellect. There is lot of hoopla as soon as there is some change in the situation or the prevailing standards.

SELF NARRATION

 There are nine kinds of devotional practices. Among them self narration is the best. It means telling God everything that happens to you. With self narration intellect becomes peaceful. This leads to easiness in solving the problems and making the decisions. By this process we become aware of His help and support.

WORK TO BE DONE BY SADHAK

 As the attraction of the sadhak towards the Guru increases, he needs to take support of many Gunas (qualities). This support is taken as a tool only and not by getting involved and attached. Otherwise it would be considered as being sentimentalism of the sadhak. Sadhak makes efforts with heartfelt sincerity to develop Guru-Bhava in his vision for the totality of his life. If he keeps in his mind the idea to sublimate his negative nature by any means and lays around in the Sharan (refuge)-Bhava of the Guru with heartfelt intense Bhavna with awareness, it is much easier to sublimate the Jiva Nature. Such sadhak who has taken refuge in Guru-Bhava with love, devotion, awareness and knowledge only needs to offer everything. He continues to offer oblation in the Yagna of offering with Bhava of heart continuously. In this way he continues to be purified. It is possible that the the tradition of offering (physical or subtle) at the holy feet of Guru may be one of the many methods of offering. It is not proper if sadhak does not keep in mind, the purpose of the development of his life behind such offerings. It is an illusion if sadhak believes that he will be benefitted since he has offered many things to Guru. Sadhak can never be benefited in this manner. It is possible that the ego of Jiva-Nature may increase in sadhak if the he does not keep subtle meaning of the offering in his within with knowledge and awareness. It is also possible that sadhak may be lured into believing that Guru belongs to only him. It is only proper if the purpose behind the Bhavna of offering is to increase the attraction for the Guru and heartfelt Bhava of refuge in the Guru, and sadhak experiences the expression of such Bhava within him.
