“A few are so born who confuse dhal for boiled rice and take great pleasure in this confusion”
In spite of a clear cut laid down method given by Revered. Master and His continuous support, still there is confusion in the understanding of the system and there is ignorance on our part. This attitude of some of the abhyasis and trainers is disappointing Revered. Master and that is what He expresses in the above message.
The following are the points mentioned by Revered. Master which requires improvement on the part of the abhyasis/Trainers:-
•Character development : Revered. Master mentions that every abhyasi should have good character which has a special importance in the area of spiritual development. He further advises in this connection that "No word should leave the mouth which is likely to be objectionable to any one nor any such act be indulged in as likely to be unpleasant to others”(Page-175SDG). Words/acts of persons which cause objection to others come only out of ego or arrogance. Eg: when a person follows a system he tries to criticize or pass unnecessary comments on other systems. We think we can convince others with our words or debate. It will only be a failure causing negative impact on others. But when we are able to communicate to others with humility and soft words it touches their hearts. That too only when we practice, we can convince others. Our behavior also should not be unpleasant to others. For improvement in the character, regular practice of meditation on points 'A' before bedtime prayer helps to check/get out of improprieties of conduct & indulgences of mind and moulding of behavior in day to day life according to the commandments given by Master will help.
