Whatever you are doing and before doing the work and after finishing the work for a few minutes, shift to the seer from the scenery.
*Chapter 8 - Beyond Miracles*
*Day 39*
Question - Gurudev, how is it possible to give 100% and yet, some how keep the attention connected inwards on the seer? When I give my 100% doing the task my attention is powered on the task and at this point the seer is lost in the scenery.
Gurudev - Do them at different times. Don't try to do it simultaneously. Do them at different times and when you are proficient in both, you will find the border simply diminishes.
It fades away spontaneously and naturally. For now don't try to make a mood that you are working on being a witness - “I am getting lost in the job, no, I want to be a witness”.
Don't make such mood just be 100% in whatever you are doing and before doing the work and after finishing the work for a few minutes, shift to the seer from the scenery.
Don't leave this and don't leave that, grow simultaneously in both of them. The Ishavasya Upanisad says, "One who goes in this alone will go in to a darker space, and one who goes into that alone will go into even dark space."
I've already spoken on it. It's very beautiful Upanisad, one of the Marvellous pieces of the planet. There is a series of eleven, the science of consciousness, so beautifully described.
It needs a proper explanation with proper insight. If you just read those translations that you have, it doesn't really mean anything much. The mantras are given like a code word. You have to open that.
Question - What's the difference between divine love and romantic love or the love that's needed to go into a family in a marriage? How do these two interact?
Gurudev - Love has many flavours. I have spoken about all the different flavors of love in the Narad Bhakti Sutras. Why don't you just take that up and read it.
