Whatever act you do, do it in the thought “It is the Divine’s command and therefore it is my duty to do so”
goal quickly. Getting rid off the already accumulated samskaras to bring out the Divinity hidden in our hearts so that our acts are in tune with Divinity is itself a very big task. Further we cannot afford to add more samskaras through our thoughts and actions. Hence the statement of
this seminar assumes significance in this regard.
Hence The Revered. Master suggests that every work we should perform as duty to God in His remembrance. For this, one should understand the concept of trusteeship given by our Master. Otherwise we develop undue attachments in our acts which further adds to our samskaras.
In this regard The Revered. Master says, ”It does not mean that we should become unmindful of our worldly responsibilities and neglect our duty in that respect causing trouble and misery to those depending upon us for support. We must remain alive to our sense of duty to them as much as to God but without any undue attachment”. (Page 85&86 of DR)
For developing this condition The Revered. Master explains that we should pray to God (at bed time) with a heartful of love and devotion for His guidance and support on path of duty. Hence we understand that bedtime prayer is very important for understanding our sense of duty.
Our way of life should be moulded according to the commandments given by our Master. This is the only yardstick by which one can evaluate one self of the sense of duty he is having. Hence all the efforts of the practicants of PAM are only to follow these commandments in both letter and spirit to express the Great Master and live in tune with Nature to bring happiness to oneself and also to others.
