am fair in my sadhana. I lack goal clarity mainly due to several worldly things take priority as and when they appear.
You are aware of your lapses and it is upto you to gird up your loins and determinedly seek the goal. Excuses and explanations for the lapses in sadhana and many and plenty and all of them directly or indirectly relate to the pleasure principle that governs all. We need to give up pleasure and seek happiness and then the problem is solved.
Laya
1. Morning meditations on 2-3 days during this month were not absorbing. After this, absorbency started rising gradually over the days. By the end of this month absorbency reached quite high level. I had more or less this type of experience for 2¬3 times during the earlier years also. (Bro.T.Ramarao) - Sep 2006
You are confused. 27/30 days if you feel absorbed you ought to be grateful but you have complaints about the remaining three days. Funny and terribly irrational thinking. Learn to be grateful. Absorbancy or Laya is had at several levels as we progress in the path. All states of Laya are not the same and comparing one with the other is because you have not analysed in what you were absorbed. Further comparing the Laya states with last year shows that you like to be stagnant and not progress. From a moving train you cannot have the same vision several times.
2. The sitting ended with a thought “Guru is the link between God and disciple”.
This is an elementary consciousness that is there at the first knot of viveka. When an idea has become a condition there can be no awareness of that condition and that is called laya. Laya in the thought that Master is the Link is elementary. It is because of your ego that you feel that you can do something and awareness of such a condition makes you state like this.
