Attention Towards Our Goal

An abyasi's transformation can be seen in his/her etiquette, actions, character refining, way of life,... all this reflecting his spiritual advancement. The attitudinal changes or the behaviour pattern is in the right path,conductive to spiritual advancement.

I feel that it is upto the expectation, hence the need for the induvidual 's introspection, modification and moderation.I would therefore touch a few essential aspects of practice which require your immediate attention
For advancement in spirituality an abyasi should develop love towards divinity.
How does one develop it? Though it seems easy,practically it is difficult. 'Love' is not created, ti develops in a natural way.It begins naturally when the feeling of 'self' or 'ego' diminishes, in an individual.Here, i'am reminded of a few lines of Saint kabir's poem.

" kabira yeh ghar prem ka, khala ka ghar nahin,
Shih utare bhuin dhare,tab patha yeh mahen".

Implying, our inner is the real place of divine love and it is not one to be contented with acquisition of worldly wealth.
To acquire a way to love, and to get completely drowned in it, can be attained when you shed 'self' or 'Ego' from your mind and heart. When this is transcended, divine love will naturally develop in your inner, and babuji maharaj will reveal himself, then your living will be in 'the light of divinity' replacing the darkness of ego'.
Sri babuji said that abyasis requested him to remember them,to which he replied that he had descended to remember them,but they did not provide him and opportunity to fulfil his wish.He simply meant that they were deeply engrossed in other issues and they could not feel it though he remembered them.
Babuji said, 'if you aspire to realise me, live in me". He always emphasised that sahaj marg was a way of living,and not a mechanical system.

Dear sister's and brother's i can let you know certain hints in the form of do's and don'ts though the practise of which you can accelerate your spiritual progress and attain god.

1. Develop love towards Babuji maharaj, the divine personality.
I advise you to first devlop love towards the member's of your family.Treat elder's with affection humility, simplicity, tolerence,submission and affection instead of prejudice, anger, hatred,fear,discourtesy.
Your behaviour with abyasi brother's and sister's should be as expected by Babuji. Feeling of superiority or being a junior based on your being in sahaj marg should not arise. Every abyasi is assessed on the basis of his depth of devotion,sensitivity, aletness and the overall transformation of his/her personality and living.
Whenever you feel any spiritual experiance share it with others. Motivate them, and help them to progress.

2. Your behaviour with non-abyasis, genral public should be so moral,virtuous,simple, ostentious,impressive and conspicious like that of a true abyasi of Sri babuji maharaj.
Bringing about this change in self may look difficult ,to make it simple i advise you to get rid of the habt of finding fault in other's. Be it member's of the family,abyasis, preceptor's,non-abysis, who ever it might apply to.
If this habit is left unchecked, and is habituated, it leaves an impression in your inner and retards your spiritual progress.
Dr. K.C Varadachari once asked Babuji why, he was taking all of genral public into the mission, without any discrimination of being good or bad?.
To which master replied, if i'am to take all of them to be good and perfect why in the first place do they need to come to him?.
Moreover,babuji maharaj, has descended between us to take us to the Ultimate. All being his creation, he could not discriminate.He was not looking at the abyasis defects and weakness to take them. His system is to transform them to the best provided they are sincere and
cooperative.
We should learn to forgo the habit of finding fault with or criticising others.I have observed not only abyasis but also preceptor's making complaints to babuji, for instance, a preceptor complaing that an abyasi has not come to him for sittings. Babuji replied that instead of complaining, he should find the reasons for his attitude, what qualities of the other preceptor attracted the abyasi, and to try modify himself so they come to avail his duties as a preceptor too.

3. Do not waste your time. Utilise every moment for attaining your goal.Though Babuji has prescribed time for meditation, prayer and cleaning, he has also emphasised the need of Constant rememberance. It is very essential because the flow of divine power/transmission is constant.Through Constant rememberance, we can maintain a constant connection with him.It also acts as self regulatory awareness for all thoughts and actions which might cause drawbacks in your progress,all this is will be nullfied and it will not effect you.
During Bhandar's and Utsav celebrations,after genral meditations, preceptor's used to give sittings so as to furthur install the feeling of divinity in the abyasis,to drown them in divine grace, with the thoughts of the abysis towards divinity, they experience their spiritual benefits. In absence of which, abysis would indulge in worldy affairs depriving themselves of spiritual advancement.
Sri Babuji maharaj, also adviced the preceptor's to keep the abyasis busy in discussions of matters pertaining to divinity, in order to devolp devotion to divintiy inthem and to attain their goal.Through constant rememberance, alertness will be bestowed, by which they can feel spiritual experiences, being in constant divine flow.
Otherwise they maybe creating obstacles through worldy thoughts,losing spiritual benefits.

4. Instead of attempting to change externally, aspire to entertain right thoughts,involve yourself in the right actions,in order structure the mind to sustain the divine qualitites in daily life as expected by an abyasi of Sri Babuji.
Here i'am reminded of Sri Babuji's message in Ahmedabad." so far you have been doing as directed by your mind,now your mind should follow your directions.
Hence, dear brother's and sister's, i wish that for your speedy spiritual advancement and to bring about your quick transformation in personal and social life, you should devlop yourselves and let other's devlop spiritualy.Every induvidual abyasi's spiritual devlopment will be a contribution towards qualitative devlopment of Sri babuji's work.
