Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 SADHANA If a person speaks ill of good people, he is a mean and despicable creature. If the mind is not pure, the man may hear the Truth expounded a thousand times but the Truth itself will not dawn upon him. Devote yourself to that external Truth. A devil in private, a saint in public, at home a slave of the senses, outside a yogi; internally a fool, externally a sage - he is a most despicable creature. Mind control that leads to the acquisition of siddhis, and the purity of mind that secures the vision of God are different. Repudiate the sinful conduct of the sinner, but honour the sinner like the Supreme Self. What is essential is to understand correctly the principles of religion and put them into practice with full sincerity. Pranayama, practiced without a spirit of dispassion, is just like the control of breath practiced by fishermen while divine into the sea to catch fish. Action is said to be the dynamic operation of cause and effect, as it matures it naturally produces either pain or pleasure. Heated debates only to breach of peace and can never led to the discovery of the Truth. Attachment remains unaffected even when this body shrivels up or gets destroyed, the trick is to cast off this attachment once and for all. It is possible to transform every evil into good. The Tamasic nature has its origin in meat eating. The attempt of really good people is to find the good in other people. Divine qualities are the means and Godhood is the end. To the worthy aspirants, who approach them in the proper way the Great guides, in their infinite mercy, impart instructions on the Truth. All true aspirants, should concentrate their minds upon the hidden and noble Self and continue their efforts unbroken like the flow of water.
