Messages to Seekers
Messages for the week ending October 29, 2005
Seekers must check whether the difficulties faced by them are due to their personality defects (PDs) or due to spiritual reasons and accordingly carry out remedies
Presently, as the troubles undergone by seekers are studied, it is observed that 70% troubles are due to the distressing energies (DEs) and 30% are due to seekers’ PDs. The increase in the ‘raja-tama’, owing to reactions and negative thoughts generated in the mind due to the PDs of seekers, are used by the DEs for their benefit and DEs attack seekers; for example, due to the PD of ‘blaming self’, a seeker was getting negative thoughts about himself. This resulted in physical symptoms like headache and pain in his neck. When he gave auto-suggestions for the basic PD, the trouble reduced.
Seekers must go to the root cause of their problems and if the problem is psychological / mental, give auto-suggestions for the cure. If the trouble starts without any reason or while doing ‘satseva’, first try spiritual remedies.
Stages in spiritual practice (sadhana)
The spiritual level of an embodied soul born on the earth is about 20%. At that level, he does not do spiritual practice as he does not have the necessary capacity. Later, as per his accumulated destiny and his destiny in the present birth, when he comes to know about spiritual practice, he uses his wilful action (kriyaman) to overcome destiny and do spiritual practice. His progress depends upon his spiritual practice. As he progresses spiritually, if his intense urge (talmal) to attain God increases by carrying out Guru’s mission with earnestness, he attains liberation in a short time.

Seekers unable to do the experiment of the seven deities
chant,
should chant Shri Krishna’s Name (Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevay)
until
the year 2012
Till now we have been doing the experiment to find out our negative energy chant to overcome the distressing energy trouble. This is, however, the last phase of battle through subtle and within a few months, the battle will start in gross. Therefore, those who are unable to do the experiment to find out their negative energy chant, should chant Shri Krishna’s Name until the year 2012, instead of consulting seekers from the Subtle Department.
*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.
