When we are out of Reality we become Satan
we fail to behave so or be so. It may be sometimes due to the play of samskaras and many more times because of our undue involvement and also due to lack of clear and proper understanding of our Goal.
We should identify our problem and should make a sincere effort to get over it. In this process we should take the help of various parameters mentioned in several self evaluation questionnaires designed by IMPERIENCE in a most objective manner. For example, if the question is pertaining to Dana (sharing) quality, we should evaluate in a right manner whether the sharing is after foregoing some of our comforts or needs instead of fooling ourselves that we really have that quality and giving high rating to ourselves. This is applicable to all other parameters. Here the Satan always tells us that everything is fine with us. If we strengthen or encourage this out of self pity or lame excuses then we tend to support the Satan in us. It in turn governs us by not allowing us get into our Real Divine Nature. Satan encourages the evil tendencies in us. At such times we may feel disinterested in going to Satsangs, for individual sittings, we tend to participate in gossip, we tend to get biased, developing prejudice towards others, and not doing any work which is in tune with the Master’s work and many more things which tend to keep away from our Master. Our thinking gets overshadowed. If there is a repeated feeling of such type one has to observe and understand for oneself and make the necessary effort to get out of it.
During the meditations, the daily experience helps us in understanding God as Samavarthi and the common link we share with the entire creation of God. If this understanding comes then only we can develop true fraternal feelings. Unless this comes we cannot follow the twin principles of spirituality namely Sharing and Service
