Some Pearls to Pick
- The goal must be the highest, otherwise progress up to the final
limit is doubtful.
- Without a guru we may not progress, but with a wrong person we may
go backwards and fall.
- In Sahaj Marg the responsibility for practice is ours, the responsibility
for progress belongs to the Master.
- When we find ourselves growing lighter and lighter day by day we
must conclude that we are proceeding right towards that which is the
lightest and subtlest.
- What is the secret of progress? It is obedience.
- Nothing can stop our progress except ourselves.
- Intelligence can be a bar to our progress.
- While serving humanity, we all must also progress in our own evolution.
- Many people asked Babuji, "Can we progress after we are dead?"
If you are liberated, yes. Therefore, liberation is the minimum that
we have to achieve in this life - the absolute minimum. Then some
sort of progress through eternity becomes possible.
- Our condition must change every second; then only can we say we
are abhyasis who are progressing, we are human beings.
- A good abhyasi is the one who progresses whether he does abhyas
or not.
- Pay attention to your inner character-changes that are very necessary
and without which real progress cannot come.
- If you want to see an abhyasi who has developed, look for a silent
one and you will find him.
- As we progress His work becomes our work. Our will develops slowly
to become almost like His will.
- How an abhyasi can progress speedily to the goal? There would appear
to be many answers to this question. such as obedience, discipline,
regular sadhana, regular cleaning, following the Ten Maxims etc. All
these are of course necessary. However, surrender seems to me to be
the thing that is most necessary and once a state of surrender is
achieved, all the rest become automatically established.
- Keep the contact with the Master, with the heart - your heart in
contact with Master's heart. If that remains unbroken, we have this
miraculous experience, that without sadhana, without ten maxims, without
even cleaning, the progress goes on.
"Let us judge our progress by what we have
become."
