mind. Then stop chanting and look at the following boxes and note
your perception. The details of how to assess one's subtle

Answer to the last week's experiment (Issue 224):
Figure A had a picture of subtle region
(bhuvalok) seeker Kashinath after commencing spiritual practice
whereas Figure B had a picture before he commenced spiritual practice.
One feels pleasant looking at figure A and distressed by looking
at figure B. Figure A emits positive vibrations whereas Figure
B emits negative or distressing vibrations.
Seeker Kashinath is a seeker from the
subtle region called bhuvalok. Prior to becoming a seeker, he was
under the influence of distressing
energies such as evil sorcerers from bhuvalok and used to trouble
other seekers as per the instructions of those sorcerers. When
he manifested in a seeker he was explained the importance of surrendering
and worshipping God by a seeker from the subtle department of The
Sanatan. Once he understood the importance of surrendering to God,
he immediately started his spiritual practice to develop divine
qualities. He broke away from the sorcerers’ influence and
instead started helping seekers of the Sanatan organization. The
positive changes in seeker Kashinath, amply highlighting the importance
of appropriate spiritual practice, are evident from this experiment.
*Constant
remembrance or repetition of The Lord’s Name. 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 and repeat (chant) The Name of one’s Kuldevata or
per their religion (refer to Issue 3,
Clarification of Doubts section for details on what Name to repeat
according to one’s religion.) Those in the advanced stages
and who have been doing regular spiritual practice for over one
year are advised to determine The Name appropriate for them from
the experiment given in Issue 124,
Messages to Seekers section. |
