Clarifications on Cleaning

New Delhi, Wednesday, January 28, 2009 8:34:11 PM
Dear Brother,
The sentence can be corrected to read as below:
"Meditation helps to focus the mind by regulating it, and thus prevents formation of fresh impressions or samskaras. Cleaning is to remove the effect of past impressions or samskaras. When doing the cleaning, the abhyasi is requested to imagine the grossness going out from the back as smoke, AND to imagine that grace is filling the heart from in front. This makes us evolve."

With Love and Master's Blessings
Affectionately,
Parthasarathi

Letter from Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari, January 2009

“Think that all the impurities are going out of the back in the form of smoke or vapour and that in its place the sacred current of the Divine is entering into your heart from the Master's heart.”

Preceptor's guide Volume No.2 (First Indian edition of 1995) = page no.122

“Sit for half an hour with suggestion to yourself that all complexities and impurities including grossness, darkness, etc. are going out of the whole system through the back in the form of smoke or vapour, and that in their place the sacred current of the Divine is entering your heart from the Master's heart. Do not meditate on those things which we want to get rid of. Simply brush them of.”
