LIFE'S VISION AND VIEW POINT (1)

 All of us are trying to experiment with our lives. This is not a matter of being laughed at. Still, we have not really understood the importance of life in its true sense. Presently we are being drowned in trifle matters. We may behave in that way since trifle matters are also not useless. It also has presence of Chetna-energy and it is also one of its forms. If we keep our Bhava  with consciousness even in trifle matters, it does not stay trifle at that time. Similarly if we believe with Bhavna that this Sansar belongs to God, and behave accordingly, then only, Sansar does not stay as Sansar. Any Vruttie or Bhavna as such do not cause downfall in Sansar. Downfall is caused by our mind, chitta, intellect, prana and ego. All the vrutties are different aspects and expressions of the supreme and auspicious Chetna-energy of Shree Prabhu.We keep twisting the Bhavna behind it with contrariwise accusations due to our nature. We see the Bhavna in its twisted form instead of seeing in its beneficent form. In fact it is present in everything in the form of Chetna. Our inner instruments-mind, chitta, intellect, prana and ego want to evaluate and understand it in their own ways. How can a human being able to grasp its true form? On one side we will have to let go of earthly understanding of our inner instruments and on the other side we need to practice implementing the Bhavna of Chetna-energy in our interactions, relationships, thoughts, vrutties, Bhavna, and works with knowledge, devotion and persistence.

MEDITATION (DHYANA) - WITH FORM AND WITHOUT FORM

 'Shree Krishna Sharanam Mama' (શ્રીક્રુષ્ણ શરણંમમ) is a prayer and there is no objection in reciting this prayer. It means, O God, you are my refuge and sanctuary. There must be constant Bhavna (concept, sincerity, desire) in the heart with living awareness while reciting this prayer. There should not be an image of idol or imagination arise in the mind while mentioning the word 'Shree Krishna'. Instead there should be presence of a kind of Bhava (love, affection, faith) in the heart. As soon as they utter the word Shree Krishna, many people have the vision of Shree Krishna with many cows or Shree Krishna playing the flute and many such forms due to old impressions in the mind from seeing such photographs or hearing about it previously. This is not good for us. Heart is the place where Bhava is produced and if we want to experience that state without the support of any kind, then we should not be indulging in the game of imagination. If such thing happen to someone, it is helpful to such person. We should not confuse such person and such a step is not proper for us. For that reason, 'Shree Krishna' is abstract and as soon as we utter the word, our mind, intellect, chitta, prana, all our major and minor limbs and heart, we should have the living and creative Bhavna that all these are taking refuge and shelter in Shree Krishna. We should live in such Bhavna. When we utter the word 'mama', we must have living and creative awareness and knowledge that this is my-our duty. We must practice this while reciting the prayer with heartfelt sincerity.  Prayer is a kind of Dhyana only. Prayer is with form and Dhyana is without form. There is no support in Dhyana but we take the support of prayer to increase the Bhava as a sadhak. The result is same for both. We must be in meditative condition. The secret of Prayer is 'Bhavna is transformed into Bhava'.

STRENGTH OF THE PRAYERS IS LIKE AN ARROW OF THE GOD RAMA (રામબાણ)

 Whenever there is any kind of intricate problem or difficulty in the heart continue to do prayers with the Bhava of the heart. Prayer has great strength. If the call of the heart comes out from the depth of the heart with the cry of the heart and Bhava of urgency, it is always heard. Continue to do prayers with as much peacefulness as you can and being open to Him. He is our mother and father - everything. Ask for whatever you need. You don't have to keep any separateness from Him. We need to act in such a way that our relationship with Him becomes alive in our life. To achieve this, we need to carry out our conversation with Him by creating the Bhava of heart at that time in all the circumstances. He cannot but hear the call and cry of the devotee. We have not experienced that such a call and prayer done with sense of urgency and humility is not heard by Him. I would like to hear such prayers done by you when I come there. Please collect all these prayers.

LET EVERY THING FLOW BY

 It is also good to let thing happen as it is happening in worldly dealings and in the path of sadhana. Many times we speak and interfere abruptly. It is best for us if we remain quiet, cultivate the virtu of being aware as witness at such times and let things happen as it happens and unfolds. Brother, we need to be forewarned by our sense of discretion. It is true that we should not be afraid of the society. 'This soul' is never afraid of the society. I have experienced that you are also brave in certain items.

MEANING OF 'ACCEPTANCE'.

 Appropriate understanding regarding 'what to say, how much to say, where to say something and where not to, and where to keep silence is not achieved without first experiencing the heart of the sense of discretion (Vivek). I know that sometimes you keep quiet where something needs to be said. At the same time if the mind is disturbed and refuses to accept your decision, it is not good for us. We must accept everything whatever it is with knowledge and devotion, and make sure with awareness, that later on we do not have any thoughts and opinions regarding it. Blessed are the souls who have appropriate  understanding at the time of such incidence. Such souls are the ones who live the life in its true sense.
