OUR MISTAKE OR FAULT MUST STING BY HEART
When there are many kind of thoughts and emotions spring up in mind, if the eye of the sense of discretion (Vivek) can be kept open, it can provide us with justice. Then only it is worth and does not become a lost moment. We have heard many people saying that, we understand by the intellect only after the inappropriate response is given. In such cases they have not experienced by heart, the real sting of the inappropriateness. It is possible that they may have experienced such explanation by intellect. Such repeated incidents must deepen the wound of inappropriateness and fault in behavior. These incidents must lead us to the development of the Bhavna that alerts us before our action. It is worthless if we are not alerted by such Bhavna before such incidents. If any kind of Bhavna alerts us or awakes us, awareness automatically develops in intellect. When such awareness develops in intellect, the eye of Vivek opens.
AWARENESS IN INTELLECT
When there is awareness with knowledge in intellect, we get the instant comprehension (સુઝ) and solution of the problems of life right away. Just as heat is felt near the fire, the awareness in intellect works in a similar way. When intellect starts to function in similar manner, know that things are functioning properly. The moment there is awareness in intellect regarding progress in life, know that these are the first steps of purifying the intellect.
