CONTINUOUS SADHANA OF LIFE
We need to gain and cultivate the knowledge and wisdom from real life experiences and our behavior in Sansar, that we are not the body, we are not the Prakruti or its nature and we are not the mind, intellect, Prana and other inner instruments. Sadhana of the life is not isolated. It is continuous and intermingled with many things.
WICKED GAME OF MIND, INTELLECT, PRANA, CHITTA AND EGO
Mind, intellect and Prana will show many strange things, place its attention on weird stuff and will be catalyst to many quarrels. It will create fire where there is none, will create unrest, quarrels and fights where there is peace. At such times, if we develop heartfelt, complete and true understanding that all these are the games played by the lower mind, intellect and prana to involve us, we will be definitely saved by the grace of Shree Prabhu. If we let ourselves being swept away in the whirlpool of the Jiva-Nature or Jiva-Vruttie even by accident, such incidents will keep on happening again and again, without an end. All of us need to decide whether we want to live in Sansar with peace or with misery and unhappiness.
PLAY OF INNER FORCES
When provoked, we must turn our mind, intellect and prana inwards with constant awareness and not let them express outwards. There is no reason to believe that they will not try to involve themselves in the matter of dealings of Sansar, even when they are interwoven with the Bhavna (intent) of Sadhana. Just as the determination of the sadhana is firm, the opposing forces are also equally firm to disrupt the sadhana. We get trapped in their plot knowingly or unknowingly. So, we need to be extremely alert and cautious. The play of inner forces is very subtle and we have no clue about it. So do not get trapped in its game. We need to keep our vision, vrutties and tendencies higher by any means. If there is any situation where we feel shame in seeing, thinking or understanding something, believe that it is the foul play of mind, intellect and prana. We must stop thinking, seeing and understanding in that manner. Please be aware of it.
