Start Now - Truth will be Reflected in a pure Mind ... only

When you achieve Chitha Shuddhi (purity of mind), Truth will be clearly reflected therein. For this, good company is essential.

Company of pious and holy people leads gradually to withdrawal from entangling activities. When a cold bit of coal is placed in the midst of glowing cinders, and when the fire is fanned, the coal too starts glowing with the fire.

The Jnana Agni or the Fire of Wisdom operates similarly.

 Individual effort and Divine Grace are both interdependent. Without effort, there will be no conferment of grace.

To win that Grace, you only need to have faith and virtue.

Knock - the doors of Grace will open. Open the door - the Sun’s rays waiting outside will flow silently in and flood the room with light.

Baba (thought for the day)

How do we understand it right?

What is good company? We need to have faith and virtue.

If we move in those spiritual levels, we should only meet good people, I guess, but it seems not that easy because of the mind.

We can read, but we have to really listen to what he is telling. What he tells is listen, think it over and absorb.

That is what was mentioned as one hour reading, two hours writing and three hours thinking it over. What is here excluded?

If we think we know 'love' in not even listening properly - that is missing the point of it. 
We will not reach a 'pure mind' without effort..., if there is that effort there will be conferment of grace, it means the mind will not be pure just in waiting, we have to meditate and do sadhana.

Baba talks about a 'pure mind', he talks about 'sathva always wins'.

That is what came up yesterday as joy, because finally the truth is clear and we see the Bhogi and the difference to a Yogi and what is the meaning of all that. 
Patanjali has written the yoga sutras to make out of a Bhogi a Yogi, not to create profi Bhogis.

Without sadhana and just thinking we know love, we don't do an effort purifying the mind, nor do we try to listen and to absorb, we just think it is already there and we will know later on..., whenever that will be.
It means being suspended in a believe of devotion, but not practicing. It gets wrong understood.

If I mention that 'empty Western shoe' it is by mentioning it I get aware that inside was that picture of a pair of shoes and that is the reflection of truth which has to be understood finally, not only what he said. 

If we don't meditate, there is no pure mind. If we don't do any effort there will be no vitue and if we don't use discrimination we will just be a Bhogi and not a Yogi.

He also tells that it is Raja Yoga, but who is aware of it?

We all think we know and we don't realize that we don't know.

When you achieve Chitha Shuddhi (purity of mind), Truth will be clearly reflected therein. For this, good company is essential.

Have you any idea how difficult it is to get a pure mind if we don't practice, if we don't do an effort and still go on hoping one day we will understand or think we have understood being suspended in a state of superficial love which goes nowhere?

Individual effort and Divine Grace are both interdependent. Without effort, there will be no conferment of grace.

What he tells us is that it is interdependent and that without there will be no grace and then he adds all it needs...

 

To win that Grace, you only need to have faith and virtue.

Knock - the doors of Grace will open.

And do you realize what happens?

Because he says, 'all it needs is faith and virtue' it makes the mind get to the wrong conclusion that we have that already..., they think it is a state of mind, but it gives hope and it is love.
There are some who tell that hope is delusive, because of that. 
It is getting suspended in not knowing what to do about it... It leads to think 'with love' it will happen and that we have that love already, but we don't, first we need to have a pure mind to get there!

If it would be understood, people would today start with Sadhana or meditation to purify the mind now, because if he tells that it can only be reflected if the mind is 'pure', it means we should start to make it pure.
He doesn't tell how long it will take until that mind is 'pure' enough, because to get to that 'inner view' and 'reflection' it really needs a constant inner contemplation in the observer and that is only possible if we do a long effort..., therefore, it would be wise to start now.

That means it is not understood or wrong understood and people will not do anything about it but 'wait' ... to understand the moment when they know enough to begin with practice, maybe - one day, if ever... 
But if they would listen, think it over and absorb as he tells us to do, they would recognize that they don't understand it right and would begin now, today with practice.
