succeed. This is the minimum thing that you should have. I use specifically the word may because that is what comes to most of us but may has got this difficulty of a wish, it’s a wish. Pranahuti is not a wish, Pranahuti is a will. If you distinguish between the words wish and will, I don’t know whether how many of you have at any point of time tried this. Will is - this person who is sitting before me is developing this particular characteristic is a will. May he develop this characteristic is a wish. So when you sit in meditation particularly the cleaning processes also, if you will that the dirt and disease that you have got is being washed away it gets washed away but if you sit in a pious attitude then say to the Divine, may your grace wash me of all these things it is still only a wish, it will not succeed. Will succeeds, sankalpa succeeds. Master’s grace is flowing through me is a positive sentence, it is cleansing me is another positive sentence if these two you have got, it will get cleared. Master’s grace is flowing through me, may it clean me, it doesn’t help, you have not willed it. It’s only in the realm of wish. This is one of the defects of bhakthi cult because we do not say that this will happen, we always say may this happen by the grace of God, we got into that particular mould, bhakthi has diluted yoga. While it is absolutely essential that you should feel a serf before the Divine, you are devoted to him all the time, it is absolute must there is no doubt about it but your actual process is always willing and not wishing.
Similarly the man who does Pranahuti to you does not say ‘may the grace of the Master flow into him and may it cleanse it’. No, he does not say that, if he says it, it will be most ineffective. He will say that now by the grace of God this man is being blessed with the Pranahuti and he is getting cleared of the following defects which he complains of and you tell him. What is it you tell him? ‘Sir, in spite of my trying to meditate, in spite of my sadhana, in spite of my doing everything that is in my hands to do somehow or other, I feel that the thought relating to such and such thing haunt me’. That is your problem putting it very very clearly. Now this person says, ‘No,No, it’s alright you think about the Master everything will go’. Suppose he says it, he is not giving any remedy to you, he is only sympathizing with you, he is kind to you. Please note it he is very kind to you but he is not discharging anything, it is just like a person you know who feels sorry for certain things of somebody else’s needs, he is incapable. A person who is capable, what he will do is alright sit down let us attend to this and he will give a thought and he will request you, think that this
