It is man’s duty to sacrifice the desires
arising from will
along with attachment &worldly pleasure
and
restrain with his mind,
the senses
from straying here and there.
Final dissolution in God comes gradually.
When the mind is fully under control,
Self is united with the Supreme Spirit.
When the worshiper has just set out on the path,
he has to concentrate his mind patiently on,
and
think of nothing else
except,
God.
~Revered Gurudev Swami Adgadanand Jee Paramhans~
That which is equally free from
worldly attraction and repulsion
is
named yog.
Yog is experiencing the final beatitude.
Attainment of the ultimate essence, that is God, is yog.
Engaging in this yog without a sense of monotony or boredom (ennui)
and
with resolution, is a sacred obligation.
He who is patiently engaged in selfless action
is
the one who succeeds in achieving yog.
When the God we crave for-the accomplished sage-abides
in
the Soul and begins to instruct him,
only then does real worship begin.
Here God and accomplished sage- teacher,
as prompters, are synonymous.
If God descends into heart at the level at which we stand,
begins to check and guide,
and
support in case the worshiper stumbles-only then
is
the mind fully restrained.
Unless God stands by as a charioteer,
close to the Soul as a prompter,
there cannot be an adequate initiation to his path.
Before this the adorer is on trial;
he has not yet achieved
the state
of
true worship.
~Revered Gurudev Swami Adgadanand Jee Paramhans~
