Om Shanti everyone!

I like Dadi Ratanmohini’s way of explaining to us that now is the time to show in practical life all your attainments, that you got from Baba. What you got through your efforts and what is the result of your faith should be seen in your practical life. Two other things she said was determination and practice. Determination without practice doesn’t work. Now what is practice, what is determination in faith? Whenever you are doubtful nothing happens, to increase faith, keep bringing it into your smriti, then what will happen, your faith will keep increasing. I like the idea of using determination and practice and to show evidence that you are having good yoga, there has to be power in yoga. If you do not have good yoga then there is not enough power to destroy the obstacles. Baba is saying that the power of yoga makes you the embodiment of success, I will call it the image of accomplishment, the evidence of Siddhi. Your every thought is like a seed, some of the seeds start sprouting quickly and some don't, even if you keep them for two days they won't sprout. The same thing happens with thoughts. Solitude and concentration are two powers that make a thought very powerful. These powers enable thoughts to be accomplished and successful. Baba is saying that in order to attain the stage of success you first need solitude (Ekant), and concentration(Ekagrata). In the pictures of your memorial in the Temples, people ask for two special qualities in order to achieve success: solitude and concentration. Even when you go look at a goddess in the Temple you are not really concentrating on the image, whether with closed eyes or open, you are looking at the goddess but also looking here and there, what is next to her, what is happening, what clothes she is wearing. You have gone to the Goddess to take blessing but with no concentration you will not receive anything. So, Baba is saying that you also need to adopt this method in practical form, because of lacking concentration, you lack determination in faith. We always think there is something not right on the other side, but we have to look into ourselves and see what is wrong in me, what is lacking in me. Your determination in faith reduces because you lack being in solitude, and then you have many ordinary thoughts. So, therefore become an embodiment of success by using these methods, and what are the methods: solitude and concentration. Don’t wait for tomorrow, throughout today, focus on this, then more points will come. Even a few times during the day for three minutes, be in solitude and concentration. I'm sure by night time you will find a lot of power in your thoughts, and every thought will get accomplished.

Om Shanti
