SAMATA AND PURITY IN INTELLECT BY GOING WITHIN (ANTER-MUKHATA, અંતરમુખતા)
Sadhak needs to cultivate going within more and more so that he gets the solutions of the problems in life from his heart rather than intellect. All of us are in Jiva-Nature and act accordingly. Our senses, mind, intellect, chitta, prana etc., are always looking outside for the solution of the problems. They rarely go within, get concentrated and focused to find the solution of our problems. Going within means all our senses and inner implements like mind, intellect etc., get free from all aspects of outside objects, and start thinking about within, by going and staying within. As, the going within is maintained, becomes creative and lively, there is expression of Samata and other virtues in Intellect. Only when such going within becomes lively and creative, there will be purifying of all the aspects of mind, prana and intellect etc., It is never possible to achieve this without going within. For sure, all kinds of purifying is needed in Sadhana but no one seems to pay any attention to it. If there is expression of love-devotion towards Chetan of Shree Bhagwan and development of Bhava, such Bhava can also purify all our implements automatically.
Our work of Sadhana will progress if we continue to remove our attention from outside world and practice continuously to stay in the Bhavna of Naam-Smaran with love-devotion-knowledge, be the witness of the activity of senses and inner implements and be aware of its improper tendencies and practice, to offer them at the lotus feet of Shree Prabhu, and pray with heart and in heart to keep senses and inner implements in its appropriate nature.
It is not possible to express complete purity and holiness in intellect without being free of the tendencies and desires of duality, getting rid of ignorance, being free of attachments-Hate and completely being free of the ego.
