Fwd: Benefits of Spiritual Discourses

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna. There is one vital fact. The extent of fears experienced by a person, before attending spiritual discourses (satsang), to that extent those fears do not remain, after listening to spiritual discourses. A seeker experiences a major change in his tendencies, conduct, habits, attitude and behavior after listening to discourses. Also agitations of the mind, harmful forces and other flaws are wiped out on their own. But this only happens when we honor, pay attention to, and give importance to the messages of these spiritual discourses (satsang) and translate them into our lives. On giving importance to spiritual discourses, a seeker will definitely experience the following three things in his life - 1) The force with which desires for sensual enjoyment and anger etc., used to come at one time, they do not come with the same degree of intensity, as earlier. 2) Such desires and instincts do not stay for as long as

they used to remain at one time. 3) The desires and instincts do not appear as often now as they used to appear earlier. By observing these things, the enthusiasm of the aspirant should increase, because the tendencies are decreasing over time and with certainty will eventually be completely wiped out. In business, a person can encounter gains and losses, but in spiritual discourses, one only reaps profits. There are never any losses. Just as a child grows naturally in his mother's lap, without any conscious effort, in the same way the spiritual development of an individual takes place naturally, unconsciously and automatically. If eagerness, enquiry and desire to know God is very strong and if the slightest flaw (defect) becomes intolerable, then realization is attained instantly.
