Dear Brothers,
Is it good to avoid answers in order to protect a false feeling of safety of ones own beliefs. We will be really safe only when we have conquered lust.
What is not possible through practice? The subject of purity is even before Yoga “Be holy, be yogi” Both complement one another. This subject makes one worthy of worship. Here effort lies.
What will be the evidence of conquering and transforming lust? One would have become master over the self, and lust would have become a slave. Now when there is influence to the sex organ the mind becomes crazy. That’s why we practice concentration and control over the mind, then along with this organ, eyes /which are so difficult to control/ and all other organs of the body come under control. Practical proof will be that even in the company of others, with whichever bodily organ it may be, one’s own mind will not be influenced and will be stabe and under control, organs will be under control, ones own energy will not go down. I don’t know how this can be seen from outside. I believe anyone can say for himself or shivsena Bhai can say, because he is an expert in noting the percentage of the stage.
I know monks practice purity, but why do I don’t like to become a monk. How it is that I have never taught I will like to lead a pure life but I do. It is because all the religions (spiritual paths) pass through stages and reach degradation. Only one soul does not pass.There is no power in any religion now. There is only power in the generator ShivBaba.
This new knowledge is new, it is contemporary, it is for us, it is given in these circumstances to live like that in this modern world and it is very easy and natural, because there is effort and hard work involved in doing something that is not natural to us. Purity is the eternal form of every soul. Now we just get back to where we started.
And it is different. It is said that one has to become pure through God. The monk who does he become pure through. Or in the BK? They give a promise in front of an institution or a bodily guru, so the reward is accordingly. The monk can receive a status in the hierarchy of the church or one can receive a high vision from the guru or society. But if one promises in front of God, that I’ll remain pure ... if the monk brakes the promise ... he'll have to leave the church I guess, nothing more. Then in front of God the benefit and loss is more.
It is this matter where there is victory and defeat. To be king means to not be influenced. Our aim is to become free from desire. It is possible. In the scriptures Shankar is said to have burnt the deity of lust. This is an old aim given in the old Gita of bakti too /Oh, man Arjun, lust is your greatest enemy, conquer it/. Till this time no one could have reach it, because it is only the deity Shankar that does it and the rest does it numberwise and this deity is created only when the Supreme Soul Shiva comes, and till this moment He had not have been come and now He had come. The test is for becoming nashtomoha /detached/. The souls belonging to the sundinasty will have these qualities. Vishnu also is shown lying on the snake.
It is good to practice purity because peace comes out of it and happiness that is not happiness of the bodily organs but of the mind and intellect like soul. If anyone can show me a method or a place where I can learn how to control my mind ... there is no such other place, because in order for the intellect to control the mind it needs the reigns of Shrimat and there is only one ShivBaba who gives Shrimat. If we follow this Shrimat we succeed, otherwise we always have our own intellect to decide, that has now become degraded.
That's why I believe first we have to accept for ourselves that we are now impure. People, wonder why should one study and practice. I wonder whether they think for themselves they are perfect, whether they have an aim in their efforts, in their life, whether they see a reason to improve. When we conquer this one enemy all other weaknesses we have already conquered and there is no other effort.
And for this practice there is only one practice to consider oneself a soul. It is better even not to look others as souls but to look oneself as a soul. We have to become introverted.
In order to practice, one does not need any tools or to go anywhere. Everything is already present, the soul, the body, ShivBaba, ShivBaba’s knowledge, time, what we need is courage and enthusiasm. We do have these too that we use in useless, side matters. Тhе matter of conquering lust is of utmost importance. The world will be renewed with this practice.
It is said that we should race. Off I go ... meet you at the final.
Maybe it is not correct to say he controls our power, but steals our mind.
