Do not think negative

A spiritual discourse on maintaining inner balance and removing doubt through mantra practice.

"To dare to keep your temperament calm—that is the master work. Do not come out of your balance; be a yogī."

"The more you repeat the mantra, the easier it will be to remove the dust of your inner mirror of the heart."

The speaker, addressing Pārvatī and the listeners, teaches that the true spiritual work is maintaining calm and balance in daily life, as exemplified by a yogī. Citing the Bhagavad Gītā and a story from Gajanan, the discourse emphasizes that balance persists through praise or criticism. The remedy for doubt is meditation on Śrī Rāmachandrajī and the diligent repetition of the mantra, which cleanses the heart and cultivates virtues like serenity and love.

So, do not think negatively while sitting here at ease. But in everyday life, to dare to keep your temperament calm—that is the master work. Do not lose your nerve; do not come out of your temperament. Do not come out of your balance; be a yogī. Do you remember the story Gajanan told? Of a Chinese man to whom, whatever they said, he would reply, "Why should I be happy? Why should I be unhappy?" God Kṛṣṇa said in the Bhagavad Gītā, in the 12th and 15th chapters, that the yogīs and bhaktas are those who are always balanced, whether they are glorified or criticized; they are always in balance. Lord Kṛṣṇa said in the Bhagavad Gītā that those yogīs, those bhaktas, who are always in unity, even if they are praised or criticized, they are always in unity. Therefore, O Pārvatī, think in your heart what I said. Give up your doubts. Meditate on the lotus feet of Śrī Rāmachandrajī. What I said to you before this, Pārvatī, my words are like the sunlight to destroy all the darkness. What I said to you before this, Pārvatī, my words are like the sunlight to destroy all the darkness. No doubts. What Śiva said before, we should remove our doubts; think over it. He spoke to each of us. Many have these qualities, and many do not have these qualities. It is you who will help yourself; nobody else. More and more repetition of the mantra will remove the dust of your inner mirror of the heart. The more you repeat the mantra, the easier it will be to remove the dust of your inner mirror of the heart. He opened the eye of the lotus of the heart. He opened the eye of the lotus of the heart. If you will apply every day the ointment of this name, so will your generosity and greatness, your acceptance, your ability to forgive, your serenity, your love.
