KNOW YOURSELF (4)

 HYPOCRISY

Hypocrisy plays a major role in every person. It can give rise to such incidents in life that we cannot even imagine. It can convert falsehood into truth. Such are the plays of its tricks. There are immense mental turbulences and conflicts when we see through our own hypocrisy. This is lot more difficult to handle than our usual belief and understanding.

It is not that, there is no hypocrisy in the life of people who have true and intense longing. It may be that there may be even more hypocrisy in their lives. If we want to remove hypocrisy from within us, we need to have longing for the development of life, hard work to achieve it and prayers to get help of Prabhu-Krupa with humility. We also need to keep Prabhu-Bhavna in all our efforts, all our daily activities and our interactions involving feelings and emotions. When such living and creative habit is created with these efforts, the power of hypocrisy starts to become less. When we live with such Bhavna, there is no easy way for the hypocrisy to enter and take hold of our life.

KNOW YOURSELF (3)

 If we develop real longing to follow this path, we must change our living habits, communication skills, understanding of our behavior and level, right from its fundamental base. Shree Bhagwan can be our close friend if we have the genuine longing to flow towards Him. Just as a stick to the blind, He inspires and guides us. This can happen only when our mind, intellect, chitta, prana and ego are following Him. If we show heartfelt enthusiasm, faithfulness and honesty in taking right steps of this path, we will definitely succeed. It is not much important if you took half a step or full step. The most important thing is whether we had enthusiasm and honesty of heart and mind, faith, sincerity and understanding of the purpose of taking these steps. We must pay attention to all these while we follow the path. 

There are three Gunas Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. We must understand clearly which Guna is predominant in our nature. If we feel we are slowing down, then we must find the ways to be active. We will never progress if we continue to be the same. We will definitely feel our enthusiasm and happiness within, if we really want to try and progress. 

There must be strong determination and that means, we act as we have decided. Acting in any other way, we may lose our life but should never go wrong way. We cannot progress in this path without firm determination. We may use our intellect to think about it but its superficial understanding never gives us any forward movement. Its understanding is like constantly changing witch. For this reason, we do not need understanding of intellect. We will follow the Bhavna with heartfelt enthusiasm. That is the right way to win.

Other thing is, if we are faced with circumstances where right steps need to be taken towards development of life, we must possess enthusiasm, eagerness and stage (level of understanding) to accept it in its true sense (Swikaratmak Bhumica).

KNOW YOURSELF (2)

This path has only one way traffic. We have to keep Bhava of Goodness towards everyone, meaning develop it. No matter how much injustice someone does to us or spoils our reputation, we must wish that someone goodness and success, and have longing for his well being. Moreover, if we accept that whatever happens to us, fundamental reason is within us and if this is accepted as true fact with heartfelt enthusiasm, and our mind and heart have longing for behaving accordingly, then victory is assured by the grace of Shree Prabhu. All this is easy for the one who has developed true longing with honest faithfulness and enthusiasm. If we have true longing and desire to follow this path, the first symptom is that our vision that was focused on others now is turned within and observing ourselves. If we can experience this transformation by the grace of Shree Prabhu, then we can definitely understand and believe that we will definitely progress on this path.  

If we have awakened true longing, the factual result must be our waking up and taking actions. If we cannot wake up and take actions then understand that we have not awakened true longing within us. We cannot start or progress in this path without awakening heartfelt true longing.

PATH OF SHREE PRABHU — COMMON WAY OF SADHANA — KNOW YOURSELF (1)

 First we need to analyze and examine the roots of our own Prakruti, Nature, Thoughts and Vrutties. If we develop an awareness about present status of our nature and what we need to do in future, this difficult path is not that difficult.   

We must continue to observe and analyze ourselves clearly with balanced mind (Tathasthata). We are definitely capable of thinking about ourselves. We can understand our own Jiva-Condition by observing action and reaction as they develop within us from the contact with different individuals.   

We will have to know our real nature, what kind of Prakruti we have, and what kind of understanding, deadlocks and prejudices we have in our intellect. We need to analyze our mind and other inner implements (like Prana, ego etc.) without mercy. 

There is a need for removing all kinds of illusion for the one who wants to tread the path of Shree Bhagwan. Bhagwan lets one to experience by many ways. One will understand whatever way one wants to understand. As a matter of fact, one will have to understand what kind of soil one is standing on. There is no need to be sad, get angry, dislike or ignore someone. Only we need to understand clearly that this path is vastly different. 

In this way' traffic is one way.
