Whoever wants to experience that on one side there is strong desire for the development of life and on the side there is feeling that he is being pushed in the right direction, must direct mind, intellect, prana, chitta and ego in the direction of practicing such tools regularly and for a long time. On the other side, there must be awareness to be free from attachments-hate, sexual desires, anger etc.,
Without being free of insistences and attachments,
True knowledge will never be experienced.
This means, on one side there is expression of living, creative and conscious Bhava with heartfelt sincerity and on the other side we are engaged in the work of reducing Attachment-hate, work of progress of life speeds up.
So they mentioned Smaran, prayers and self-narration (Atma-Nivedan). We can use all these tools easily. In the beginning, we can start with Smaran, even Smaran is hard in the beginning. After a while, with practice we develop the awareness of the purpose in Smaran. From this, we develop understanding regarding the method of doing Prayers, as for example; When I woke up today or while working, "Prabhu, this Vruttie was an obstacle, these things happened." If there is difficulty in Sansar, I would pray accordingly. We can take the help of intellect to take care of the difficulty that may arise while working but with that we can also do prayers. What is the purpose behind the prayer? If we do self-narration or prayers frequently, we can create psychic contact with Him. It takes a while to create the habit, may be you can do it fifty- sixty time a day. This creates a link with Him. For this reason, prayer is a very important tool to create link with Him with awareness. Depth in prayers develop slowly and when there is increase in Bhava, we become worry less and relaxed after prayers. We feel as if there is no load on our head and prayers are done with Bhava. We get the solution of our problems and difficulties.
When there is heartfelt cooperation and engagement of our mind, intellect, chitta and prana, Bhavna of offering develops. Presently we just talk, but true offering is not done. Only when these become active and cooperative, true offering can be done.
