Suffering is the root and results are flowers
to undergo the samskaras and how it helps us march towards the goal.
There are samskaras which we have been carrying with us for a long time and it is difficult to shatter them with our own effort. Pranahuti will help us in this aspect.
We have to do our evening Purification process regularly so that we reduce forming further samskaras.
The bedtime prayer will help us repenting for our mistakes and in resolving not to repeat the mistakes. Since we repent for our mistakes, the element of guilt is reduced. Guilt is one of the major factors in forming samskaras.
So, we have to do the meditational practices as suggested by the Master, take master’s support through Pranahuti and follow the Ten Commandments. All this will help us in developing the proper attitudes towards Life in general and towards sufferings in particular and keep us going on our march towards our goal.
The book towards Infinity by Babuji Maharaj, The path of Grace by Rev KC Narayana garu and the Game of Life by Rev KC Narayana garu gives us the roadmap and also the attitudes that we develop along the way. When we develop the qualities of forbearance, fortitude, and endurance towards miseries and also qualities like Love, Devotion, Karuna and Maitri we can say that we are moving towards Surrender to the Master. As these qualities develop and our surrender develops then the sufferings will loose its sway on us.
When the flowers are in view, the sufferings don’t hurt us much. Let us look upwards towards the flowers and not look down and depressed towards the roots of sufferings which are inevitable for the person to live with meaning and purpose.
