5. True Vision

No matter whatever success is gained in the future, but to remain careless towards our aim and duty in the present in the expecta­tion of that success is laziness and offence due to carelessness. It is an obstacle in achieving the aim.

Our duty is to establish relationship with God-realized saints and not with the worldly persons. The relationship with worldly persons deviates us from the aim of liberation, where as that with God-realized saints helps in the accomplish­ment of the aim of ultimate redemption.

God’s opinion about our deeds is far more important than that of the society. Nothing can be gained from the deeds approved by the society if it is unworthy from the point of view of God!

That, what is unworthy in the eyes of the Supreme Lord is truly unworthy and that, what is worthy, it is worthy. The test of worth-worthlessness is truly as per God’s view and not from the world’s point of view.

Before doing any work, one should find out whether God will like that deed or not? Will He be pleased by that? If the reply is "Yes" then that work should be done and if it is "No" then that work should not be done.

Hatred and unwillingness are evolved within a normal worldly person, towards the worldly miseries. Similarly hatred and unwil­lingness are evolved within a worshipper; towards the pleasures related to the five objects of organs. The worshipper, who under­stands from the beginning and does not seek for its achievement, succeeds.

An ordinary seeker thinks that, "I am willing to proceed on the path of achieving God, but I do not possess that capacity" - this negative thought results into cowardice. A real seeker, though having limitations and less capacity will proceed on that path with courage; will sincerely try to increase the strength. Such a seeker will definitely receive help from the Supreme Lord .

A real worshipper, alongwith self-examination, keeps on examining others too and compares them with himself. He accepts the virtues observed and denies the defects, but does not have enmity to­wards them.

On observing virtues in a person, one should not commit mistake of considering his vices as virtues. Similarly, one also should not commit mistake of considering the virtues as vices of a person ha­ving some vices or defects. The person, who cannot do proper analysis of virtues -vices, cannot succeed.

Before expecting something from anyone, one’s eligibility, strength and limitations should be taken into consideration; or else it results in wastage of time and energy.

On considering the spiritual worship as duty, rather than consid­ering it to be painful, success is achieved.

It is more preferable to proceed, without fear and with under­standing and proper awakeness, on the path of worship, instead of proceeding due to the fear of the Supreme Lord.

Some people consider some circumstances and incidents to be unpre­cedented and are deeply impressed by those. But the one who is not impressed, not deviated and remains unshaked only becomes successful.

To create misbelief for anybody without self experience or evidence is a mental sin. It is not proper to establish any belief unless and until one experiences it. Feelings like rancour, disregard, offence, meanness, ridicule, disobedience etc. may be developed, because of false assumptions created regarding anybody, without evidence or experience. This may obstruct the spiritual progress of the seeker.

A worshipper has to be above respect and insults. Whenever false allegations are made, a worshipper should not protest it thinking that he is being insulted, but he should protest for the reason that the falsehood will get nourished if he does not protest.
