Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
instruction my opinion changed. I would like to share some of the feelings which I imperienced because of doing yatra in knots 1 and 2
1. I had the feelings of the transitory ness of life. Had the feelings that the body is temporary and the consciousness is permanent. All attachments related to this body are temporary. Every thing in this world is consciousness.
2. On one occasion while doing yatra had the feeling that everything is only one consciousness. This feeling continued for 3-4 hours after completing the yatra. On contemplating on this condition I understood that I am nothing and Master is everything.
3. There cannot be any comparision between people. Each soul is unique. There can only be sharing and co- operation amongst all the souls.
When we get these feelings on our own the feeling is really great. Now I understand the need for doing yatra repeatedly in all the knots. We have to make these feelings as part of our consciousness.
Rev.Sir told us many times that without service there is no progress in spirituality. 9.00 PM prayer is an opportunity given to us by the Mater to serve others. Initially it is not easy to maintain the thought during 9.00 PM prayer. But as we start progressing on the path this gets better.
Demolition of the past is possible only by serving the Master. My little experience shows that we receive His grace when we think about good of others. We become pure by receiving His grace. So thinking about good of others helps us in our progress. The more we get purified the more effective is our service to the master. Hence service to the master helps us reduce our load.
