Study carefully, go for the prescribed path, marry with love

The only alternative is the 'mind'. Kriyakarma originates from the senses-karmendriyo. This is how the mind is produced by the senses. And is nurtured by many sacraments.

The implication is that in this way the true-false samskaras accumulate in the mind or in the mind of a human being, from births for a long time, according to this kind of lustful karma. That is, the mind cannot concentrate on walking the path of God. It becomes a state of "mind blowing ... in pleasure".

The mind needs to be kept constantly awake with caution. The ephemerality of the subject-matter has to be explained by making the mind a "friend". As the understanding arises, the mind will move away from the lust of the senses, and will become calm.

At the same time, devotion to "Ishtadev" has to be increased. Leaving selfishness from selfishness-work-raga-greed-infatuation, one has to increase love in Ishtadev. That is to say, great men-Mahatmas, saints, constantly form close ties with God. He constantly cries out, "Lord, it is mine - I belong to God, not to anyone else ..."

I accept the path that is most dear to the Lord. 'Maya' is not related, neither 'mind' is related or 'world' - such determination will bring success.

Stay awake at the time of sadhana to remove useless sankalpa-vikalpa. When the mind goes into an inauspicious instinct, immediately challenge the mind, O mind! I am your lord! Such a "roar of lions will make you fearless, so Vivekanandaji has said ....... don't be afraid, don't be afraid, ...... get up ... wake up ... keep on reaching the goal."

Three things are important to move forward on the path of sadhana: -

(1) Continue the daily program for 'Sadhana' at regular times, as a rule, with regular determination. Neither carelessness nor laziness should stop in between. Extremely patient. It should be studied with confidence and 'concentration'. A nut running on a rope can create miracles with a concentrated regular effort. For a long time, regular concentration can lift the manhood. It is frustrating to change this tool from time to time. Digging 'pits' in different places does not make 'wells' and water cannot be obtained.

(2) 'Sadhana' should be done with interest. Should be lovingly-emotional. Should be done with strong interest. Doubting the sadhana we have chosen hurts. Doubt-disbelief creates obstacles. So beware. The desire for divine life will prevail with strong faith, spirit, enthusiasm, restraint, self-confidence. Abstinence will increase. The fickleness of the mind will go away. With the growth of asceticism will begin to be sanctified. If the value of devotion to God is strong, then "Prabhukrupa" will make the sadhana successful and achieve high steps.

(3) Those who move forward on the path of sadhana, by cultivating "self-observation", to cultivate constant awareness, to increase contemplation, we should focus only on eradicating our own superstitions. Don't criticize, criticize, condemn by looking at the faults. Abandon the instinct of Pardosh Darshan completely. Forgive the offender. Always be Sattvaguni. Confirming forgiveness-compassion. With complete surrender to the Lord, the faithful manhood succeeds, having faith.

The importance of sadhana lies in not giving space to a single mood and the beauty of sadhana lies in the absence of disease and hatred towards all living beings.
