sankalpas were also only meant for that. Now a days we don’t do, only when it’s in the critical stage we either go to the government hospital or go to God. In both the cases we fail. Last resort is the general hospital, last resort is God/temple, both the cases we fail, we do not succeed and we blame the hospital or the God, not our efforts. The prayer has come to a peculiar stage now when we really don’t pray but we think we pray but prayer should be such that we should ask for an attitude of prayer itself to come. Unless it comes, you will not be in a position to say that you are stabilized in prayer. So this prayer helps us to develop that type of submissiveness to the Divine and we come to the conclusion that I am not all that very competent. I am competent, I will do but I am not all that very competent because there are certain instances where you find extraneous circumstances effecting it so we try to see that it is not there.

One more very significant thing about the system of Sri RamChandra’s Rajayoga is the cleaning process. We have developed our samskaras by will, by sankalpa. I wanted to do certain things, I have done those things and my mind is attached to it. You want to get rid of it, the same mind has to be used for it. You are the cause for that particular formation of the samskara. You should be, your own mind should be the one which enables you to get rid of it, so the cleaning aspect of it is also there. Once you do all these things what is it I get sir? What is it I get? You get to know in your own physical frame there are many other higher aspirations coming up immediately. The moment your heart is clean, automatically the call of the atman is there and then your mind moves towards that and from there once you
