(Continued from Issues 126
and 127,
Practical Guidance)
|
In the initial stages, as a seeker commences spiritual
practice (for example, chanting*) he emanates pleasant (sattvik)
vibrations and one feels good in his company. As he advances to the
next step in spiritual practice (for example, takes up some satseva),
he emanates even more pleasant vibrations. But as time passes, it
may so happen that though the seeker has increased his spiritual
endeavors quantitatively, he emanates negative vibrations. This
negativity can be the result of taking doership for the spiritual
practice. Thus, one should make every effort to get rid of doership,
which is the major obstacle in spiritual progress.
How to get rid of doership?
This can be achieved by implementing the guidance
given on saying a prayer before every activity, as explained in
Issues 126 and 127,
Practical Guidance.
Guru's (God's)
grace is the key to success
 |
Given the extremely subtle
nature of doership, the effort to overcome it is difficult to
make and persevere in. In fact, overcoming doership is
possible only by God's grace. However, God will grace only
those, who show sincere motivation, through untiring effort to
overcome doership. Hence, however difficult the effort, one
has to make it. |
|
Thus, ultimately when one
succeeds in overcoming doership, one should remember that it
is not because of one's own effort or doership, but only
because God has willed so and graced one with the ability to
succeed in it. Then one will experience that the doership of
everything truly remains with The Lord. |
