BHAVNAS OF FRIENDSHIP, COMPASSION, JOY AND FREEDOM FROM DESIRES
As the Bhavna of friendship matures, feeling of rivalry becomes less. As the compassion is being developed and expands with knowledge, we experience diminishing ego. When all kind of happiness and joy develops, jealousy gets to be less. With freedom from desires; diminished greed, conflicts, Moha and attachments are experienced. For this reason, sadhak should not give lots of attention to remove all kind of habits of Jiva-Nature but instead focus on developing Satwik bhavnas like friendship, compassion, joy and freedom from desires with attention, awareness and knowledge.
When this kind of Bhavna is expressed, there will be development of appropriate Calx (Matra). In Ayurvedic medicine, to prepare the Calx they give example of Bhavna as a put (Process to increase the concentration of medicine). All of you may have knowledge of this matter. We should give many put of Bhavna with knowledge to elevate our Jiva prakruti to a higher level. Without expression of such Bhavna, it is not easy to remove Jiva-Nature.
Insults, too much Sleep and gossip are detrimental for Sadhak and we should get rid of it with knowledge. If we find that our heart is in all these things, understand that we have not developed appropriate level of Sadhana in us.
