Notes 28 Aug

 1.      We should understand why we are taking this energy — it is for Mukti (liberation). Our mind should be prepared for liberation.

2.      The true purpose of human birth is liberation.

3.      One should not find faults, gossip, or pass comments about others, as it creates impressions.

4.      One should gradually move from negative to positive, and from positive to neutral.

5.      Normally, people go to God seeking benefits in life, but in our system we practice for liberation.

6.      One should keep liberation as the ultimate goal, and evaluate every work/activity. If it does not give spiritual progress, it should be shunned.

7.      One should practice speaking the truth and avoid assumptions. Both Satya (truth) and Dharma (righteousness) need to be followed.

8.      Speaking lies creates impressions.

9.      One should not give value to unnecessary thoughts.

10.  Generally, people come to spirituality when they face problems.

11.  To practice spirituality, one should question the status quo. Life is often seen as a cycle of birth, schooling, grades, job, marriage, kids, etc. — but one must reflect whether this is the true path or not.

12.  Whenever we do any work, we should think of it as the Master’s work.
