Sadhna -Q & A (contd)

[Guest guest]

(from previous post)<br>Q: Why did the

all-merciful God create pain this world ?<br>A: Pain is the

only belssing in this world. It is an eye-opener. Man

would never attempt to attain salvation if ther had not

been any pain in the world .<br><br>Q: How can I know

whether I have purity of mind or not ?<br><br>A: If you

have vairagya(dispassion or indifference to sensual

enjoyments) that is a sign of chitta shuddhi or purity of

mind. No sensual desires or vasnas will arise in the

mind.<br><br>Q: What is the purpose of God creating the world

?<br><br>A: This is a transcendental question or Ati-Prashna.

You will know the purpose when you attain

self-realisation. The finite mind that is conditioned in time,

space and causation cannot get an answer for a question

that relates to transcendental matters.<br><br>Q: When

I concentrate, so many thoughts arise in my mind.

How can I avoid them? Can I suppress

them?<br><br>Ans: Do not try to suppress them with force. The

thoughts will manifest with redoubled force. They will

rise up frequently also. You will tax your will and

waste your energy. Be a slilent witness of these

thoughts. Say upto yourself - I have no conern with these

thoughts. Be indifferent. All useless wordly thooughts will

die by themselves.<br><br>Q: How to prevent bad

dreams ?<br><br>Ans: Study any religious book. Meditate

for half an hour just before retiring to bed. You

will have no bad dreams.<br><br>Q: What are the signs

of a person who has no Ahamkara or ego?<br><br>Ans:

He will not identify himself with his body. He will

be free from pride, likes, dislikes, jealousy, anger

and hypocrisy.<br><br>Q: Why does evil exist in the

world ?<br><br>Ans: Change the angle of vision. All

evils will dissappear. Evil is negative good. Evil

exists to glorify good. It has a raison d’etre. What is

good at one time is evil at another time. What is good

at one time is evil at another time. What is good at

one time is evil at another time. What is good for is

evil for another. Understand this and become wise.

Behold the one Atma in all forms and beings. Evil and

good are mental creations. Transmute evil into good by

Atma-drishti. There is some good in evil

too.<br>------\
