Gunatit no suhrid-bhav
Welcome each event and occasion with a smile, take everything positively.
‘Oh Lord, let each and every moment of my time be spent such that I am totally engrossed in You, guide me and give me the strength to live according to Your wishes’.
Embodied in this prayer are the following principles:
- Agna – abiding by your guru’s wishes
- Upasana – worship and devotion.
- Ékantik–panu – single minded convictions with intense aspiration and attachment to God alone.
‘Grant me the spiritual equanimity to maintain nirdosh-budhi in everyone’.
Under any circumstances where you find it difficult to take a positive approach, ask yourself, are you the owner?, the master?, God? a sadhak?, or a bhakta?
A sadhak always remains a bhakta– a bhakta is a humble worshipper. Even if everything around you seems to be going wrong, do not despair but start to pray in your own way until your mind has regained its neutral status. Once this has been achieved act as inspired by the Lord, speak, think or act as necessary. Only give advice if you are certain that the recipient will take it positively, otherwise take satisfaction that you have been able to see the ‘leela’. If you still deem it necessary to do something – then pray.
