INNER SADHANA- FIRST STEP OF LADDER IS TATASTHATA (તટસ્થતા, IMPARTIALITY) PART 4.

 Continued from part 3. 

Tatasthata has three characteristics - (1) feelings and sensibility (સંવેદનશીલ) (2) creativity and action (ક્રિયાત્મક) (3) motion and force(ગતિપ્રેરક). It gives rise to sensibility, makes us take action and put it in practice. It also provides the force behind it. This kind of Tatasthata provides success in life. The art of analyzing cannot be done truly and completely without all these characteristics of Tatasthata. We may have superficial knowledge about ourselves but it is not up-to par to help us. When there is expression of Tatasthata with action and force, it cannot stand or let go any kind of negative element or vruttie within us. Many vrutties arise in mind and they are not to be suppressed. When there is expression of Tatasthata with action and force, when such vrutties arise we can deny these vrutties if it is not commiserate with the goal of our lives. Ordinary human being cannot deny such vrutties. Sometimes it is not possible to deny such vrutties even when there is expression of Tatasthata with action and force. It requires presence of great inner strength and intense desire for the fulfillment of the goal of life. All these are not expressed one by one, they are all interconnected. 

When such Tatasthata develops, our karma-attachments becomes less and with that non-attachment (detachment) becomes lively within us. At this time it is possible to separate from the karmas by the force or nature of the inspirational push of all our elements.  Only then we can comprehend or it is possible to comprehend its wonder and game.

We are affected and bound by many things. There is always effects of the atmosphere and surroundings. Similarly we are also gripped and affected by our own understanding. In all these we need to create the atmosphere and tendency for the Tatasthata to see and experience all these while being separate from them. All these is not possible for us without the presence of certain intensity in sadhana. Bhava of Shree Bhagwan is present in all the elements within us in the form of their nature and as a result we get pushed around according to their nature. For that reason, we cannot experience being separate from them.
