    Self-Realization – A Sadhana of Refinement

    Rely fully on the same Supreme Power from now on. This reliance has nothing to do with That. But it has everything to do with your mind, yourself.

    Parents must grow

    Repeatedly saying the same thing, nagging, is to be avoided. Make the children respond to words and suggestions given once. Tell them not to make it necessary to speak to them on the same point several times. Keep quiet, and take to mauna (silence). More than repeated exhortations, mauna will be heeded.

    Noble Character – an Asset to be Cultivated

    Cultivate the habit of doing everything, when told just once. It should not be necessary to tell you anything more than once. Such sensitiveness and response makes one worthy, skillful.

    Be Relaxed and Fearless

    Now and then have a break from your study sessions. Come out of your room or place of study and have some good diversion – talk to your relatives in a friendly manner, with interest. Laugh or weep when you get an occasion to do so. By both, your system will get the needed relaxation and will be strengthened and purified.

    Need of a Guru in Spiritual Pursuit

    Any earnest seeker will not have a question on the need for having a Guru to lead him safely and fast to his goal. You want to reach somewhere. You do not clearly know the destination. If someone knows and is ready to help you, why think further about it at all?

    Understanding Ephemerality of Relationships

    Dear son, understand that embodiment itself is transitory. And all the relationships are also transitory. Everyone and everything is to be left – even the body in which you live, and for the sake of which you have courted all the relationships! So, do not worry any more about family, people and the like. You have done whatever they needed and was possible for you.

    Coping with Rejection

    Give everyone the freedom to like or to dislike you. But inwardly, in your heart, like one and all. Let there be no dislike-feeling within you towards others. Mind should make a provision for all kinds of people, including those who dislike you.

    The Right Focus

    Do not then look at thoughts or memories as disturbances, unfriendly or alien. Let them come or not, mind remains as Consciousness alone. Legs are legs whether they walk or run or sit. Think of this truth and allow all the mind-work to be on

    Motherhood enriched by Detachment

    Every look of yours, thought, attitude and aim, must be soaked in this note of detachment. See whether it is so, and improve every time. When the child grows, then also tell him about your attitude and bring him up in that light. The child is yours and you can mould him as you wish.

    All challenges are opportunities for growth

    If the insight or ambition fostered earlier does not fit in with the present situation, all that is called for is a patient re-examination of your own mind and its outlook, and then a timely correction and re-orientation, by which your mind will survive with what is the best and outstanding in it.

    Understanding Death

    Can you forestall your own death, and the resultant loss to your children? Why then construe unnecessary misery in what, through your father's death, has befallen your lot? Better wisdom lies in assimilating the event, understanding it in its own place, and developing a larger, deeper and higher mind and emotions.

    Realizing the Atma

    The existence of the Atma is always absolute. Its manner of expression includes that which you call ‘the world’. This is the truth. But this truth will remain a mystery until the seeker’s mind becomes crystal clear, desire-free and stable under all conditions. The least trace of impurity any time will impair his vision
