Efforts to develop spiritual emotion (bhav)

Answer to the last week's experiment (Issue 220):

    Figure A was a picture of a chanting strip, which was attacked by distressing energies, whereas Figure B was a picture of the original chanting strip prepared by the Sanatan organization. One feels distressed and repeating (chanting) The Lord's Name becomes difficult while looking at Figure A, as it emits distressing vibrations. One feels pleasant and repeating (chanting) The Lord's Name becomes smooth and continuous when looking at Figure B.

    Figure A contains bloodstains, which were created by distressing energies. Through such bloodstains, distressing energies spread a layer of black energy around one. Due to such a black covering, one may feel dizzy, irritable, sleepy, forgetful, lazy, etc. One may not feel like doing any spiritual activities or even repeating (chanting) The Lord's Name as per the guidance given. One may also forget to take precautions and measures against distressing energies.

    Hence, to ensure protection from distressing energies and removal of any black covering that may be troubling one, it is important to take daily measures** against distressing energies, along with daily spiritual practice.

*Constant remembrance or repetition of The Lord's Name (refer to Issue refer to Issue 3, Clarification of Doubts section for details on what Name to repeat according to one's religion.) When done mentally, it can be done anywhere and anytime, as it does not need purity of body, time or place. However, in the initial stages it is recommended that one start by sitting in one place for at least half an hour daily.

** Refer to Issues 185 and 186, Science of Spirituality section for details on measures against distressing energies
