Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
spirituality and divinity did not distract his consciousness from severe loss of the results of 20 years of intellectual labor.
The above example highlights the characteristic of the state of mind when it is swayed by the emotion of love. i.e. the consciousness or the feeling faculty of a person has no control over the compelling attraction of the object of love or relationship.
Here the major departure comes. Rev Babuji says the object of love be Reality which has no form or name as opposed to mundane or earthly objects or relationships.
II) Now coming to another significant point which should engage the attention of all sincere seekers is “Inner awakening” .
That means when the word awakening is used we should become aware of its opposite which is a sleepy state.
Let me elaborate this point further.
Majority of humanity is in a sleepy state. We are more like automatons or Zombies or computers who are programmed in a particular way . We don’t have real freedom but think that we are free individuals who are conscious and independent.
But we have a vast reservoir of subconscious with strong likings, dislikings , particular predilections , certain view points, caste prejudices, notions of God, Master, Reality etc. etc. which influence our thinking and behaviour.
When we question somebody why you behaved in a particular way the individual very quickly rationalizes and explains the behavior and justifies it, but the fact is his programmed subconscious is responsible for his behavior and the mind gives an explanation to justify that
