Incorrect actions and Self-realization

    “Holy men do not look at your actions, They only see the intensity of the urge you have for Them.”

- The Sanatan organization’s publication, The Teachings of Saint Bhaktaraj.

Implied Meaning:

    Even if one’s actions are incorrect, Saints do not pay attention to them, as they arise from personality defects. Instead, Saints only see whether one has the desire to attain God, as that desire would propel one to do intense spiritual practice*, which sooner or later will also purify one’s actions. From this, the seeker also can learn to look beyond the personality defects in others.

*If one is not currently doing any spiritual practice, or to complement one’s current spiritual practice, one can begin with the simple, but powerful spiritual practice of chanting or constantly remembering God's Name according to one's religion. Chanting also acts as a useful complement to any spiritual path one may be already following. It is a practice recommended for the current times by Holy texts and Saints of all religions.

  • Seekers in the initial stages of spiritual practice (less than one year) can repeat The Name of the Lord as per their religion (refer to Issue 3 Clarification of Doubts section for details).

  • Seekers who have been doing regular spiritual practice for over a year or so can determine the appropriate chant for them from the experiment given in Issue 124, Message to Seekers section.
