Bodhayanti Parasparam Vol 6
out of the feelings of doership, knowership and enjoyership. These are easier said than done. When we do a bad deed, we can conveniently attribute it to the Master using this concept. When we do a good deed, it becomes very difficult to attribute it to the master. In the name of ‘acquiring Divine qualitites’, we feel happy about it, we feel that we have done something great and take pride in it. This boosts our ego and adds to our impressions. It is surely an impression that people in the society appreciate. When we talk of travel-light concept, any weight is a weight. It doesn’t matter whether we carry dirt (bad samskaras) or gold (good samskaras). It is worldly wisdom to get rid of the dirt and cling on to the gold. But in spirituality, good and bad samskaras could have a different meaning and the worst is, we do not know what is good and what is bad. We also do not know how much weight we are carrying. In such a situation, we are not left with any options other than yielding to the master. The bhog is undergone in real-life, in dreams and during meditation. We should be willing to get rid of the samskaras; yield to the master and accept his wisdom in the way he plans to remove the samskaras. We could undergo the bhog of enjoyable samskaras in dreams and painful samskaras in real-life or vice-versa or in any combination.
From our side, as an abhyasi
1. We yield to the master, with the faith and conviction that he knows what is best for me; that whatever happens, happens for my good; and the master is always with me. When Babuji Maharaj said that we should offer our heart as a gift to the master, I understand that we shouldn’t spoil it further; we leave it to the master to clean it in the way he wants and later use it the way he deems fit.
