v For sadhaks who have taken
to yoga this being the only mission, the work is well cut out.
v The above topic is meant for
the devotees who seek to be better devotees.
v The various ways in which it
can be done are,
v Trying to solve unsolved
problems.
v Availing of hitherto
unavailed opportunities.
v Raising the thinking above
the head.
v Taking the centre of feeling
behind the heart.
v Removing one man who
represents one undesirable quality in you from the environment.
v Attracting a new person into
your circle who will represent a new desirable trait you are trying to acquire.
v Reversing the negative, evil
traits in us.
v As the whole life can be
capsulated into ONE act, to choose an act and
execute it thoroughly with success to bring the infinity out of its finite
appearance.
(The girl Erin in the film Erin
Brockovich fights for survival and wins the case against the chromium
company, which is an excellent example. Her determined effort against rearing
children, unemployment, divorced life, social disbelief, lack of co-operation
all around and finally against her own
low behaviour is as good as the perfection seen in producing the film Pride
and Prejudice)
v The devotee meets with the
revolution of being ushered into the subtle plane by an accident which nearly
kills her.
v Subtle plane emerges to
destroy wilful folly by a hundred nightmares in one night.
v The physical is shaken by an
earthquake.
v Vital stupidity is often
characterised by the loss of capital, loss of market or tyranny by others.
v How crude or symbolic the
shaking of life is, depends upon how thick is our consciousness, how wilful is
our folly, how lazy one’s habits are.
v Since one started the
effort, every event that happened to her scrutinised in the light of the goal
which summarises her goal, will reveal
v the gains so far
v the wide opportunities
v the stark resistances
v the deep superstitions
v the mental reservations
v the silly clinging to a shallow personality
v the refusal to avail of those opportunities
v the aspiration in the depths and
v GRACE that persists.
v One can see HOW
inconceivable events occurred in one’s life as opportunities.
v Events closely, directly, or
remotely indirectly connected with him show that.
v opportunities meant for him
sailed to another.
v the atmosphere is more than
ready to over fulfil his unfelt aspirations.
v his own attitudes STRONGLY resist luck and grace.
v one wants to go higher
through the lower.
v how one feels like giving
while receiving.
v how BLIND
one loves to be.
v the social appearance, the external FORM are of greater importance than the spiritual contact.
v the atmosphere moves with
lighting speed
v his own movement is like a
snail.
v HOW
organised she is in clinging to her own misfortune that permits vital
influences to preside over her life.
v in the name of discipline
one cancels all the disciplines all the time.
v He can see the unpardonable attitudes after the opportunity materially
opened up.
