Whatever act you do, do it in the thought “It is the Divine’s command and therefore it is my duty to do so”
Without the generation of this love for Master it is impossible to reach the goal. To quote the Master again “Through thinking of the Divine, devotion and love develop. I will certainly say this development of attachment is your job, and your very important duty. If you do not do this, you do not carry out the duty imposed on every service minded abhyasi and the characteristic of a Fakir and of man consists in this, that your duty discharge gets completed.”
And the topic of our seminar directly addresses the question how to develop love.
By maintaining a feeling of Divine presence in our thought continuously we can develop love for Master.
Mind is a wonderful, pliable and mouldable thing. God has given us the freedom and capacity and will to generate thoughts.
Though it is true that our thoughts are a result of affects of past impressions, still God has given us freedom to change our destiny. Every single thought about Master will mould the mind towards our goal. Each thought is associated with a feeling. The more we dwell on a particular thought or idea the strength of the feeling increases and the more pronounced effect it has on the consciousness. As Master himself stated there is heat in the thought and any thought associated with Him ignites the love hidden deep in the consciousness for Him. I often have experiences of profound peace and complete forgetfulness and total loss of awareness while trying to contemplate and dwell on the thoughts of Master.
This, I feel, is a universal law, any body getting in touch with Sri Ramchandra’s consciousness and trying to dwell prayerfully in his remembrance will feel profound peace.
