Question: How to let our spiritual practices be free of doubt?

 

Answer: Yes ! it is important to let the spiritual practices be pure

i.e. free of doubt. If there is any doubt, remove it through books,

questions, inquiry etc. Even if you think that the world is real,

then it is no problem to stick to that view. But if you have any

doubt about it, then remove that doubt by thinking over it,

discussing until the doubt is clarified. If you believe in the

existence of God (Soul), then without any doubt stick to this view.

Being free from doubt is essential in one's spiritual practice.

 

You may follow any spiritual practice, but follow it without doubt,

it will be very beneficial. But when one has doubt, he perishes. The

Lord declares - " The man who is ignorant and who is of a doubting

nature, perishes " (Gita 4:40). The Lord declares, " the doubting self

has neither this world, nor the world beyond, nor any happiness. "

(Gita 4:40).

 

We doubt that some people may have attained God Realization. In fact

we doubt and do not even accept that we can attain God or Self

Realization. When we ourselves have doubts, how can we ever attain

God Realization?

 

Do not create obstacles. Do not close the door by doubting. Open all

doors today. Accept that the same God is present in an exalted soul

and in us. Acceptance will open all doors. Open the gates of your

mind and self. Nothing new needs to take place or needs to be

learned. When we say - I cannot accept, without first having complete

understanding or without making logical sense, we are closing the

door. Accept it first. This is my sincere request to all of you. All

are born of God and all are dear to Him. He loves all. His Grace is

equally on all. Just accept without any doubts and the rest will

happen by itself.
