More on Orientation:
1. Try to focus more on the Master rather than yourself and your problems. That will improve
your expansion and you would be moving towards Unity of Being.
2. The realms of the Brahmand are very vast and it takes time to cover the distance. But for that you need to be more Master oriented and less of self orientation.
3. Orientation to Master is not any conscious activity-it should be something that sustains you always at the sub conscious level.
4. It is not that much of our effort that matters in spiritual progress but the orientation of Master dedicating all that we do as his command that counts. Orientation you have in good measure and you should take positive aspect of all things. Feeling that we are deficient in any manner is not correct.
5. Keep your orientation to the goal steady and refuse to be entertained and entangled in things of lesser importance.
Contemplation
1. I am happy to be quite focussed in sadhana and the predominant feeling is utter helplessness and dependency on Master. I seem to understand the reassuring words of the Master that `Spirituality is my responsibility, as practice is your responsibility' better. A sense of expectancy from the Master for the effort put by me has disappeared from my thought. ‘He knows better’, is the state of mind. Now I carry on with the wisdom that let me do my abhyas and not to worry about the result.
That is some sense in all that. But there is a lurking idea that He will take care of spirituality. The quotation is not very appropriate for this occasion. Your feelings border on ‘let things happen as it should do and I shall do mine. {However the thought behind this is not that simple for the quotation has expectation behind it}
