occasions to talk about what they call their experiences in earlier congregations or their contacts with Masters and the advanced persons. This type of input grants to the aspirants the stuff with which they engage themselves during meditations and instead of thinking of the present where they are deriving divine grace get into their rut of old habits of thinking. It is necessary that we should live in the present and be totally oriented to the grace that is oozing from the ever loving Master.
We should be vigilant and willing to bring our attention every now and then back to the present. Our mind is clever and tricky. It will look for new ways to capture our attention and regain control. It is necessary that we should be gentle with ourselves. It is important to refrain from criticizing or judging ourselves during this process, for that is just the way for the mind to sneak through the back door.
During the remaining three days of the Basanth celebrations I request the aspirants to keep firm grip on the goal they have chosen and be in the thought of the Master.
Pranams.
