We should continue our activities in worldly affairs and Sansar, while continuing to think or behave appropriate to the thoughts regarding what we want to do and what kind of person we want to be. We should engage our mind repeatedly in this kind of thoughts. With the grace of Shree Prabhu, we should interact and behave with our related Jivas creating least amount of discord and friction. We will need to create a level of understanding within us to keep peace, genuine happiness, patience and equanimity in the mind. To be successful in this, there should be such active and creative tendencies in our hearts regarding these matters. There will be many kind of instances in Sansar. Since there are many Jivas in Sansar with different kinds of prakruti, there will be incidents of conflicts. All these happenings are for our test and evaluation. These are the Grace-happenings and we should keep and practice such awareness in our heart, and remind the mind repeatedly.
When attacked by his own Jiva-Nature no matter how powerful it is, he who struggles and refuses to be guided by the attacks with care and awareness, and behaves appropriately with others at that time, is a real Sadhak. He will need to completely understand and evaluate his behavior at every instant and must realize when and where he is wrong. If the Sadhak has understood his own self completely, he would always direct his vision, vruttie and tendencies to evaluate his thoughts, speech and actions to find his fault every-time. Any Sadhak who tries to see or finds someone else's fault when something bad happens to him or an apparent injustice to him, he is either not Sadhak or Jiva in great illusion, at least for that incident.
When the Sadhak advances in Sadhana, he realizes that his lower kind prakruti tries to control him by encircling him from all sides in an amazing way (like a net of magician). Like a living animal, this prakruti does not just sit around and do nothing when it sees its hold being loosened. It continues to fight by all the means and with maximum strength to maintain the complete hold on Sadhak and rule over him. It takes various newer forms and ways for these attacks. These attacks are done in secret like the attacks of Indrajit. In the war between Rama and Ravana, Indrajit was the most menacing fighter against Rama. The reason being, he could change his true form into illusionary form, hide behind the clouds and throw the arrows from behind the clouds.
