The association of the mind with the Brahm-Swaroop is known as ‘brahm no manan dwara sang’.
- Never look at the faults of others (Koi nu Jovu nahi)
- Concentrate on one’s own sadhna (Potanu kari lévu)
- Resolve problems with prayers and japyagna but do not resort to alternative methods. (Munjvan avé to mala ghamkhavi pan bija-trija upai na léva).
- Maintain nirdosh-buddhi towards everyone. (Darékma nirdosh-budhhi rakhvi)
- Maintain unity, harmony and goodwill. (samp, suhradbhav né ékta darékma rakhvi).
- Continuously Praise the Glory of the Lord (Sakshat no mahima nirantar gaya karvo)
Constant awareness of the above mentioned six points and applying them in our daily life is known as ‘brahm no manan dwara sang’.
If we are able to live according to the first principle: “Never look at the faults of others”, then the second, third and fourth principles will automatically follow on. Once we can abide by the fourth rule naturally i.e. maintain nirdosh-buddhi towards everyone, then we will not be able to take offence of anyone.
Thus concentrate on the first principle. Until we have been purified of our vices, we’ll have to practice maintaining divyabhav in others. If ever we experience any feelings of desolation or despair, we should immediately begin praying to Bapa :
“Oh Bapa ! Forgive me, I have faltered. I have not practised the first principle sincerely, please help me, relieve me from despair and the misery I feel”
Always begin to pray, do not resort to any alternative methods of solving problems. Then the true characteristics of Bapa will revealed to you, i.e that Bapa is omnipotent, omnipresent and almighty controller of everyone and everything.
His greatness will be revealed to you. You will be able to appreciate why Bapa instigates events which may cause you despair and sorrow. This is known as ‘nirdosh-buddhi’
Remain sub-merged in thoughts of mahatmya. However, be aware of the ‘quick-sand’ of becoming engrossed in positive thoughts of yourself i.e. those which would inflate your ego.
