https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M Full Text 1 In the earlier days, people would leave everything away and for 15 days they would go to Bhadrika Ashram, the world could not get to them but now the situation has changed because you can go there in a helicopter and even there you will have a hotel with the TV blaring at you, so the purpose is not served and if you strive and do it properly you can get the benefit of the Bhadrika Ashram yatra while sitting in your house itself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=3 2 Jagad Guru Shri Kripalu ji maharaj says “चारो धाम काहे कारे गोविंद राधे, तेरा हरि तेरे उर (दिल में) बैठा है बता दे” You are going on the Four Dham yatra, the same Badrinarayan Bhagavan is sitting in your heart, so learn the art of how to meet God in the confines of your own home, how do you do that ? take out some time in the day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=46 3 I give the example of milk and water. Consider milk to be like your mind and water to be like the world, now if you take the milk to the water and pour it in the water, you will dilute the milk, if you take your mind to the world your mind will become worldly but instead for some time you keep the milk away from the water and in isolation transform it into yogurt, now churn the yogurt and extract the butter, this butter can challenge the water, Mr water I will sit on your head and float, you can do nothing to me, as long as I was milk, you could dilute me but now I have enhanced my concentration, I have become far stronger in my personality by staying away from you for a little while. Now that I'm butter I am immiscible (unmixable in water), how did this transformation in the personality of milk take place ? by keeping it away from water for a little while, it became possible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=91 4 Similarly for a little while every day, keep your mind away from everything worldly, this is the ekant sadhana, if 50 people are sitting with the intention of sadhana, that will also be called isolation because the world is not getting at you there, so in that isolation solidify the absorption of your mind in God. Once you have achieved that and when you go about doing your worldly duties, you will find that you are retaining the divine consciousness, the spiritual perspective, the sublime and noble thoughts, it will come naturally to you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=197 5 Of course you are not going to become expert on day one, don't think I did for a little while today and so now I'm also King Janaka. When you first plant a Sapling, you need to protect it, put a fence around it, so that no goat grazes it off, no cow makes lunch out of it, keep a watch that it gets sufficient water but not so much that it's drowned in the water, it gets enough sunlight but not so much that it dries up, initially you are very careful in protecting that tender sapling but once it's become a huge banyan tree, then there is no worry, what to speak of tying a buffalo to it, you can even tie an elephant, nothing is going to happen but the first day you were careful, similarly when you take your first steps of sadhana be careful that कुसंग, the negative association of the world, doesn't graze away the sapling of bhakti, the bhakti लता that was planted in your heart by the grace of God and guru. Later on when you've achieved proficiency, it will not matter “verse” but initially we must be very careful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=258 6 The extent to which the mind gets attached to God, to that extent your spiritual power will increase, to that extent you will get control over anger, desire, greed, because to that extent your mind will be purified, if you have attached your mind twenty-five percent to God that means your mind is 25% detached from the world and you have enhanced your spiritual power by 25%, if there is a 25% irritation, cause for anger, you will not become angry because you have developed the spiritual power, now increase your attachment to God 50%, your detachment (from world) will become 50%, your spiritual power will be enhanced to 50% and you will get a 50% grip over the defect of anger. The day the mind is hundred percent attached (to God) it will become 100 percent detached (from world) and all these defects will be removed from the root, that is the spiritual art of Mind Management https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=373 Transcript 0:03 in the earlier days people would leave 0:07 everything away and for 15 days they 0:11 would go to Bhadrika Ashram the world 0:15 could not get to them but now the 0:18 situation has changed because you can go 0:21 there in a helicopter and even there 0:24 you will have a hotel with the TV 0:26 blaring at you so the purpose is not 0:31 served and if you strive and do it 0:36 properly you can get the benefit of the 0:40 Bhadrika Ashram yatra while sitting in 0:43 your house itself 0:46 jagad guru sri Kripalu ji maharaj says 0:50 “चारो धाम काहे कारे गोविंद राधे, तेरा हरि तेरे उर (दिल में) बैठा है बता दे” 1:01 you are going on 1:10 the Four Dham yatra the same Badrinarayan 1:14 Bhagavan is sitting in your heart so 1:19 learn the art of how to meet God in the 1:25 confines of your own home how do you do 1:31 that take out some time in the day I 1:36 give these examples of milk and water 1:43 consider milk to be like your mind and 1:47 water to be like the world now if you 1:54 take the milk to the water and pour it 1:56 in the water, you will dilute the milk if you 2:02 take your mind to the world your mind 2:06 will become worldly but instead for some 2:11 time you keep the 2:13 milk away from the water and in 2:18 isolation transform it into yogurt now 2:24 churn the yogurt and extract the butter 2:28 this butter can challenge the water 2:33 Mr water I will sit on your head and 2:38 float you can do nothing to me as long 2:41 as I was milk you would dilute me but 2:46 now I have enhanced my concentration I 2:50 have become far stronger in my 2:53 personality by staying away from you for 2:57 a little while now that I'm butter 3:00 I am immiscible (unmixable) how did this 3:06 transformation in the personality of 3:08 milk take place by keeping it away from 3:13 water for a little while it became 3:17 Possible similarly for a little while 3:21 every day keep your mind away from 3:25 everything worldly this is the ekant 3:29 sadhana if 50 people are sitting 3:34 with the intention of sadhana that will 3:39 also be called isolation because the 3:41 world is not getting at you there so in 3:45 that isolation solidify the absorption 3:49 of your mind in God once you have 3:56 achieved that and when you go about 3:59 doing your worldly duties you will find 4:03 that you are retaining the divine 4:06 consciousness the spiritual perspective 4:10 the sublime and noble thoughts it will 4:16 come naturally to you 4:18 of course you are not going to become 4:22 expert on day one don't think I did 4:27 for a little while today and so now I'm 4:30 also King Janaka when you first plant a 4:35 sapling you need to protect it put a 4:40 fence around it so that no goat grazes 4:45 it off no cow makes lunch out of it 4:51 keep a watch it gets sufficient water 4:54 but not so much that it's drowned in the 4:57 water it gets enough sunlight but not so 5:01 much that it dries up initially you are 5:05 very careful in protecting that tender 5:10 sapling but once it's become a huge 5:15 banyan tree now there is no worry what 5:21 to speak of tying a Buffalo to it you 5:24 can even tie an elephant nothing is 5:26 going to happen but the first day you 5:30 were careful similarly when you take 5:34 your first steps of sadhana be careful 5:38 that the कुसंग the negative association 5:43 of the world doesn't graze away the 5:47 sapling of bhakti the bhakti लता that 5:51 was planted in your heart by the grace 5:54 of God and guru later on when you've 5:58 achieved proficiency it will not matter 6:02 “verse” but initially we must be 6:13 very careful, the extent to which the mind gets 6:17 attached to God, to that extent your 6:22 spiritual power will increase, to that 6:26 extent you will get control over anger, 6:30 Desire, greed, because to that extent your 6:34 mind will be purified, if you have 6:39 attached your mind twenty-five 6:41 percent to God that means your mind is 6:46 25% detached from the world and you have 6:53 enhanced your spiritual power by 25% if 6:58 there is a 25% irritation cause for 7:03 anger you will not become angry you have 7:07 developed the spiritual power now 7:10 increase your attachment to God 50% your 7:16 detachment (from world) will become 50% your 7:19 spiritual power will be enhanced to 50% 7:22 and you will get a 50% grip over the 7:27 defect of anger the day the mind is 7:31 hundred percent attached (to God) it will become 7:34 100 percent detached (from world) and all these 7:37 defects will be removed from the root 7:40 that is the spiritual art of Mind 7:46 Management Standby link (in case youtube link does not work) How to meet God at home Be a true pilgrim (A spiritual secret).mp4
