SADHANA
It is to be a steady practice all the time keeping in view
1. Our own worthiness and trying to improve the
same Regularity is the crux of sadhana and then only we will be in tune with nature. I request you to kindly keep Your restlessness to reach the goal constant. In our efforts to practice or do sadhana it might not be proper to seek help of the Master as effort we must do ourselves. The results are a different question which is decided by Him only. Surrender does not and shall not mean surrender of efforts. When we know our lapses we put in our renewed efforts more vigorously and that stands well in our sadhana. Studies are very important and sadhana is to be done without affecting studies so long as we are in college/school. The control of sensuousness is not something that can be achieved without pranahuti and the meditation on points A and B and more than anything else His grace is required. Awareness of one’s own smallness while looking at the Sky is enough reason to progress in sadhana.
For a man who is very busy there is always time
to meditate and do sadhana. It is not want of
time but only our sloth that does not permit us
to attend to our spiritual needs. But please note that one has
to learn to be grateful to Master for the moments
of Nothingness and Void that is granted to us
during meditation, that is the intimation of the
Divine that He is with us. On this only sadhana
should revolve. Irrevocable determination is
the only way to progress in the path. Master is
ever willing to help us, but that cannot and should
not be the reason for taking sadhana easy. It is necessary that sadhana
has to be assiduously practiced. That does not
mean we should always be doing the same. Balanced
life is the goal of life. All our spiritual and
material efforts should be such as to assist us
in reaching that condition. It is good you feel peaceful
and calm during meditation. This alone is the
main motivating factor in sadhana. Master used to tell me that women
have lot of responsibilities and it may not be
possible for them to sadhana strictly as prescribed
but they should always remember Him in everything
they do and think. I feel that Sadhana is not for
knowledge, but for wisdom to live in total harmony
with Nature of which we are but a part. Clarifications 1. After coming back
from Hyderabad, I had slipped in my sadhana a
little bit, I am not sure how it happened but
it did. 2. Also in last 2-3 weeks
there has been a lot of pressure from work side,
that has affected my Sadhana schedule and I have
had to adjust the timings of my meditation. 3. There is extreme impatience
at times to reach Master bordering on despondence. |
