automatic reaction is not proper. At no point of time Rev. Babuji suggested us to meditate on the Atman. We are supposed to meditate on the divine light without luminosity in the heart where it beats. (read Master in Efficacy of Rajayoga etc.,) Pind desh is a word that covers the entire 5 knots in the chest region. Each knot has a function and a characteristic and to put the whole region as one is not proper. I wonder whether you have gone through our site where a free self evaluation tool for assessing progress in Pind desh is provided. It may be a good idea for you to do that.
15. Clarifications on Pind desh tool:
a) Austerity and Penance: Penance I do not know how to practice it.
We practice austerity by reducing wants and penance on occasions by fasting.
b)Compassion: Really I need help in this aspect
Compassion in the real sense develops when we see the Master in all and this is state of consciousness. However we practice to be kind to all as far as possible.
c)Accepting everything as a gift of Divine: I need much more evolution in this respect
True it is that most of us find it difficult to accept the situations. But there is need to change the attitude as nothing happens without a cause and we must have contributed to it knowingly or unknowingly. Accepting as gifts depends on our acceptance of the situation as a lesson.
d)Gourmet: Really I need some explanation about this pitfall.
Not much of a difficulty. Eating too much can be bad for health also. It is stated that a true seeker has only one full meal a day.
e)Constant Remembrance: This aspect is still low; I need help.
This is not just a practice but a condition. Once condition is there we feel any and all of our practice not upto the mark.
f) Feeling of luminosity: Only during meditations and sittings; help me please.
