8. Immoralities

The immoralities which are developed on possessing defects, due to impressions of past deeds and due to circumstances, are easily lessened and weakened. But the bad impressions formed on a subconscious mind due to wakeful involvement in worldly things with a sense of enjoyment, become very firm. It takes time and strong efforts to eliminate them.

The end of any thing created is certain. The thing which can be made can be destroyed also. According to this law, the bad impressions of mind formed by us can be prevented, weakened as well as can be demolished also by our ardent efforts.

A person eliminates the worldly difficulties, sorrows, obstacles etc. that come across by means of several types of remedies by bearing lots of pain. Similarly, a worshipper also has to fight against the immoralities and has to forcefully eliminate them.

The degree of inner defects and immoralities is many times more than the external defects. The elimination of the minute impressions of past deeds of infinite births is out of question as they cannot be even known without Samadhi state of super consciousness. Samadhi-meditative trance is possible when the inclination of mind is engrossed for a very long time in the form of God. The impressions of infinite births are known (realized) during such Samadhi. To eliminate these impressions also, the support of Upasana -worship of God as well as of meditation is required. The second remedy is the blessings of God-realized saints. Such a saint is pleased and showers his blessings due to offering of services and because of that the bad impressions of several births are demolished. The life of the worshipper becomes pure thereof.

The worshipper, who possesses the strength of inner sight, penance, restraint and form of God as well as that of words of Mukta Purush (the person who has achieved salvation) can fight against the developing bad impressions and can defeat them. Whereas the person who is deprived of all these is attracted towards the worldly joy when the bad impressions are erupted.

The bad impressions of infinite births become feeble gradually and get destroyed in the end on remaining attached with the form of God with complete consistency.

Factual knowledge and the rules-regulations laid by God as well as the strength of company and words of holy persons remove the bad impressions. Otherwise it is very difficult to be saved from sinful deeds.

The worshipper who thinks, 'How can the bad impressions of infinite births be eliminated? That task is very difficult. They may be removed gradually as time passes, whenever possible!' The worshipper having such a negative approach becomes feeble in his efforts. In the end he gets disappointed and frustrated and fails in the battle against mind.
