Rev. Lalaji’s Letters To Pujya Babuji
1. Master’s reply (Rev. Lalaji Maharaj)
Gairat And Repentance
My dear brother,
With blessings for your development I have to say that what you have described in respect of your progress and stages of development, may God make auspicious. They are not manifestation of ego rather they are encouraging. You should be thankful for them. They will then disappear. If they are attributed to God then there is no conceit. Since they are from God one has no hand in it This boon is not got by the might of arm if it is not bestowed by God, the bountiful. Condition of conditionlessness is good, and this is lasting. It is good to be tormented. Home is the school for tolerance and meeknees. According to one way of thinking, patience in such things is considered to be penance, and is superior to other kinds of penances. So instead of sorrow and resentment one should resort to ‘Gairat’.
Repentance is that emotion when one, being abused and chided by others, feels as if one himself is at fault, and then one has to resort to patience. For others, jungles, seclusion and solitude are the ways of achieving patience, endurance, and freedom from the turmoils of the world, while for us the scoldings, taunts and scoffs of the family members, friends and worldly persons are true penance. God willing submissiveness and surrender also shall follow.
(NOTE: Gairat is a feeling that a person himself is at fault although, he is not really at fault). [DEC. 1929, pg. 92-93 A.B. I]
