Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Finishing Past Accounts with the Fire of Yoga (God's remembrance) God is so peaceful, He is so loving. He is the Teacher who gives us love, not who tells us off. First He makes us His child and then teaches us so well that we become Satopradhan.(More Pure). When we study, our intellect becomes clean. Check to what extent my intellect has become clean. Each one has to examine their own intellect. God is making effort to clean our intellect. When it is clean, it is very light; it is aware of what is truth. God is truth, the soul is truth and when I understand that, I bring that truth into my form. If I start to go anywhere else or think of anything else, those things will go inside of me. If I listen to other things, even if they have to do with someone else, it will affect me and I begin to think about those things. I have to be careful that my thoughts are only of the things that God is telling me. I have to churn these things and bring them into my form. God writes a beautiful 3-page letter to us every day. He writes with so much love; sweet children, sweet children. He cares so much, don't even ask. God gives us so much happiness and so much joy. Do I have the feeling to experience joy and happiness in the way that God is giving it? How much time do I give myself to experience how fortunate I am? When it comes to study, we are good, we can grasp things, but when it comes to practice we are weak; we are not cheerful and content all the time. God says, remember Me and your sins will be incinerated, but we forget to remember Him during the day and instead of decreasing our sins, we forge new accounts and these new accounts don't allow me to stay in remembrance. We have to give time now to finish our sins. Service will happen anyway, this is not my responsibility; God will do that. But my past sins have to be incinerated to such an extent that even the ashes don't remain because from ashes evil spirits can take birth and rise again. When they are really gone, there will be lightness inside and all that will be remembered is 'God I am Yours and You are mine'. People, situations and things all take us into a jungle, whereas God is making us into flowers. When I start to count the things that God is giving me and think about those things, the soul will eat and digest that and will take power from that. If we keep absorbing what God is feeding us, we will increase our energy. This fresh daily food becomes the basis for our service, actions and dharna. Why do we love God? Because He teaches us how to be detached. If something from the past comes into my awareness, it will show on my face, in my actions and in my expression. From my mind, it will move into my subconscious mind and then it will be difficult to remove it. When it is in my subconscious mind, I won't be able to concentrate. Once it is deep, I will remember it again and again, it will show up in my words and then it will become my nature. When old sanskaras come to life again it is as if the fire of yoga (remembrance) has become cold. That deep love to stay in the fire of remembrance has to be raging to such an extent that no sinful thoughts can enter. When there is deep love, attachment will finish, they cannot co-exist. To finish any trace of past accounts in an instant, I need sense, wisdom and honesty so that within a second I can put a stop to it. Put a zero and finish it, it shouldn't take two seconds. Ask myself, can I remain equal in front of happiness or sorrow, victory or defeat, praise or defamation? If someone praises me, does it increase my happiness? If they insult me, do I feel it? The more I check myself in this way, the more God's attention is drawn toward me. The first part is to let go of the feeling of being insulted and the last part is to finish the strings of attachment. We should have this drive inside of us. The occupation of a lawyer is the most harmful. This happens when I take one person's side and disregard the other's side. Many of us are making judgments throughout the day, but who gave you this job? Instead of this, focus on the self, spin the cycle and have thoughts of the original self and my remembrance will remind others to be in remembrance. Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
