Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Dear Suraj, The very fact that you are trying to realise God places you within the ambit of the Lords active grace. Everybody faces difficulties and obstacles in this path. EVERYBODY. When I go through the letters of sannyasins written to their Guru or brother devotees I realise that even lofty souls have difficulties. What are these difficulties really? They are our own samskaras, our own karma acquired over many births. We have nobody to blame but ourselves when we come across such obstacles. What is the way out? The following steps may help; 1. Acknowledging that these difficulties are results of our own Karma. 2. Asking for forgiveness from the Lord. 3. Seeking courage to overcome the difficulties. Practicing the above gives us humility, self surrender and also the courage to stand up against the negative forces. For Brahmacharya or celibacy; 1. Take up some physical exercise like Yoga etc. 2. Read positive literature. 3. Avoid exciting food, take plenty of water, don't meddle with skin problems. (The skin eliminates toxins from the body). 4. Mix with like minded souls and avoid bad company. 5. Whenever you see a member of the opposite sex, see your mother/father within him/her. 6. If the problem persists consult an ayurved or a homoeopath. Always remember that to stay on the spritual path you have to be extremely positive and optimistic. Don't harbour any negativity or pessimism within you. Be cheerful. Be kind and helpful towards others. NEVER GIVE UP. God bless you, Jagannath.
