Page 47 - Liberal Exposition of Pranahuti Aided Meditation

the time without any leisure without any rest is considered a perfect man, an achiever. What a disgraceful level to which we have come, you please note. I am not telling stories. This is a fact and I was amused because several people came and asked me several things. Another extreme case was that they want a person who doesn’t put a moustache, want a person who is teetotaler. I said, such people are not available. This is one extreme and that is the other extreme and we want to balance. This system is asking you to balance. Let us come to understand both and then let us try to do what is best. You can’t ask that and you cannot yield to this. Somewhere in between you have got to strike a balance and that balance is possible only when you are keenly aware of the Divine with you.
Thoughts, please take it, thoughts will always come. Whether the thoughts are at the animal level, purely bestial instincts that are governing you or is it at the personal level, egoistic or it is transpersonal i.e beyond you or whether it is Divine?. That is all the difference in mind thoughts. The thoughts will be either bestial or ego- centered or transpersonal or Divine. This is the four stages, in which place you are going to have samadhan? Are you going to have a samadhan at the level of the bestial thoughts? Yes, misfortune is that. Many people are happy to eat and to whore. Fine, nobody can do anything about it. but then a stage comes when he understands that this is not it, he has to move on.
A person who has got wisdom will hear what the elders say, the apta vachana is accepted. If the apta vachana is not accepted then he will go through the experiment ‘Let me see for myself.’ We say smoking is injurious not only for you and for the world, please drop it. ‘No, I will learn for myself’ Learn. It has got its own price. Everything has got a price and that you have got to shell it out. But for this thing there is no need for any price, for feeling the Divinity in you, because it is already with you. The price is only your preparedness, willingness to make a decision. Yes, I make a decision that I am going to live like this, I am going to feel the presence of Divine in me and every act of mine shall exhibit it. Yes, that sankalpa, if you can make it, the Pranahuti will work on you definitely. If you lack that sankalpa, nothing can help you.
The support of the Divine comes only when you are willing to support yourself first. So if sadhana is taken into your head seriously, Pranahuti works wonders because it is just capable of doing anything to see that you are balanced.
