One cannot enter this path (spirituality) with imagination and even intellect. One can enter this path only with Bhakti that is filled with knowledge. When there is this kind of expression of Bhakti, the understanding of the field of Life gathers speed and it becomes much deeper, subtler and original. One gets to know and understand Prakruti and Nature of many Swajans that come in our contact. It is our job to see that we do not get overwhelmed, entangled, dazed or we develop attachment and hate, from experiencing many kind of natures. We should think right away whether whatever thought, vruttie, feeling or tendency develop within us is helpful to us or not in the development of our life. If it is not helpful then we should rebuke and reject that thought right away and let it go with love. At the same time, we should make our mind aware about its being insignificant and small. Please know that we need to elevate the mind this way with Love-Bhava.
We should not behave in dealings of Sansar by its ways. We should also not keep or use our mind in the ways of Sansar. Bhakti of Prabhu is both, expressed and not expressed. We should keep Smaran-Bhavna and Dharana of Prabhu alive in any work that comes our way and at the same time we should consider the relationship of the Jiva as insignificant.
