Sadhana In Our Daily Life - An Approach For Beginners-III
Thus we save time and energy which can be utiljzed for a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In the course of time we shall notice a strong urge in us to study the spiritual scriptures and meet like-minded people. When we are sufficiently prepared. we shall meet a Master who gives us instructions for our spiritual life. We have not to search for Him, He will come to us.
But preparation is necessary. Therefore we start with Self-discipline and learn to discriminate and control our activities, become aware of what we are doing, talking and thinking. Since the mind is very powerful and will tend to revel in the vast field of our objective world, we kindle the thought of the divinity in us and thus develop in us the power of concentration without which we can never hope to gain victory of our lower nature in us. We must root out the negative thought that we cannot do anything. We are a part of God because God dwells within us and all things are possible. unto Him. We learn to believe that we can do even what seems impossible.
If
we
conquer
the
notion
to
possess
individual
power,
we
try
to
practice
it
constantly
and
will
notice
that
our
ability
and
intensity
to
do
so
increases.
Along
with
it
an
inner
peace
and
happiness
will
be
experienced.
The
thick
compound
wall
is
of
no
use
any
more
since
the
external
conditions
cannot
disturb
this
peace
and
happiness
within
us.
The start is not easy and it may happen that we did not succeed to remember the Lord even for a split second during the whole day. But we should not despair. never give up our attempt. Endurance is one of the greatest assets in life.
Before we are going to sleep we make it a habit to think over our day's activities, in deeds and thoughts. Even there we will be surprised how little we remember as most of our actions were done as a reflex not to speak of the thoughts passing through our mind. But practice makes the master. Let our last thought before sleep be directed to the Lord. We shall find out that this last thought will be the first thought the next morning when we awake.
We have thus started our new day in a beautiful way.
Let
us
keep
in
mind
that
religion
in
its
essence
is
not
a
matter
of
belief
but
of
experience.
Self-mastery
is
a
keynote
to
it.
