    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?

    Old Age and Mental Health

    You should develop an austere temper as a result of which, even under physical sickness – of course, you should give proper medical attention to it – your mind is not subdued by it. Let not any physical sickness paralyse or weaken your spiritual mind. If the body suffers from ill-health attend to the physical condition medically, but for most part rely on the virtue of your mind – its strength and inspiration.

    Mind, meditation and the goal

    It is only to inculcate purity that all the religious and spiritual practices and disciplines have been evolved. Through all these practices, once purity is attained, meditational absorption will become easy and spontaneous.

    Theory of rebirth?

    Birth and rebirth are tentative propositions, one visible and the other invisible, to help man think about continuity of existence. When his sense of enquiry grows and deepens, this continuity will be probed, dissected as it were, to take him to the nonobject, the Subject entity,

    Influence of Gunas–Are we helpless?

    Everything is the effect of guṇas. Work, cessation, dream, sleep, wakefulness — all. But within these, the guṇas alone make you think, enquire, seek etc. See all as guṇas and flow with them. Do when you feel like doing. Stop and leave when you feel so. Be natural.

    Fulfillment will be had when the mind is properly treated to become pure and the hindrances to fulfillment are removed. And, when the mind is properly developed to have fulfillment, will it need any of these external objects, situations or possessions?

    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.

Better wisdom lies in assimilating the event, understanding it in its own place, and developing a larger, deeper and higher mind and emotions.
