Three Qualifications of a Student to succeed in God-Realization
(My notes when I was 21 years old)
Reference do not remember, perhaps Swami Vivekannada)
Three things are necessary for the student who wishes to succeed to realize God.
First: Give up all ideas of enjoyment in this world and the next. Care only for God and Truth. We are here to know Truth, not for any enjoyment. Leave that to brutes who enjoy as we never care. Man is a thinking being and must struggle on until he conquers death, until he sees the light. He must not spend himself in vain talking that bears no fruit. Worship of society and popular opinion is idolatory. The soul has no sex, no country, no place, no time.
Second: Intense desire to know Truth and God. Be eager for them, long for them as a drowning man longs for breath. Want only God, take nothing else, let not "seeming" cheat you any longer. Turn from all and seek only God.
Third: The six trainings:
First: Restraining the mind going outwards.
Second: Restraining the senses
Third: Turning the mind inward.
Fourth: Suffering everything without murmuring.
Fifth: Fastening the mind to one idea.
Sixth: Think constantly of your real nature.
Get rid of superstition. Do not hypnotise yourself into a belief in your own inferiority. Day and night, tell yourself what you really are, until you realise, actually realise, your oneness with God.

A New Humanity - Daaji
A New Humanity - Daaji
Sunday, January 28, 2024, Kanha Shanti Vanam
Namaste everyone. | |||||
We are to embark on a new, a great celebration that will trigger a reinforcement of what our Hierarchies have been dreaming of—a new humanity. One cannot remain jailed in this human form. Transcend, become humane; then you already know the next step, which is Their responsibility, to become divine. Further, they promise from Divinity to Absolute. This is the journey of Sahaj Marg, our Heartfulness Way. | |||||
Babuji says: in order to prepare ourselves for that, all sincere seekers of Divinity, those who are really keen on transforming themselves, may become joyful, blissful carriers of spirituality and participate more intensely.

The Significance of "The Heart" in World Scriptures
But unfortunately, human being is so intimately associated with the head/mind that until this is convinced, he/she doesn't accept things from the heart; as if one needs the endorsement of intellect for everything. In fact, even the intellect/head needs to follow the heart and not act independently. Osho says - The heart knows that it is the boss and therefore silent; and intellect pretends to be the boss and makes lot of noise for its survival. Pujya Daaji says - The heart and the mind are two extreme ends of the same thing. One end that is pure is called heart and the other end that coloured bu our impressions is mind.
It is very interesting to note the significance of heart mentioned in all the scriptures irrespective of the religion. And therefore the need to get to the heart of everything in life. It can be possible as they say only when one thinks, feels and decides with heart. It is very important to deeply understand that the heart has no religion or caste or colour, Let us see some of the references in the great scriptures of the World, as below:
Heart as the Source of Intention: "…But Allah knows what is in their hearts. So turn away from them and admonish them and speak to them a far-reaching word." (Quran 4:63)
Cleansing and Purification of the Heart: "Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves…" (Quran 13:11)
The Source of Thoughts and Intentions: "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." (Proverbs 4:23)
Guidance and Trust in God: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Transformation and Renewal: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26)
The Seat of Devotion and Love: "Within the heart, He dwells, and without the heart, His expansion continues. The heart is the temple, and within it is the dwelling of the Divine." (Guru Granth Sahib, 79)
Elimination of Ego and Egotism: "When one's heart is illumined with the Lord's Name, the darkness of ego is dispelled." (Guru Granth Sahib, 1085)
Bhagavdgita, Chapter 18, Verse 61: ईश्वरः सर्वà¤ूतानां हृद्देशेऽर्जुन तिष्ठति। à¤्रामयन्सर्वà¤ूतानि यन्त्रारूढानि मायया॥ Translation: "The Supreme Lord resides in the hearts of all living beings, O Arjuna, and by His divine potency, He causes all beings to revolve as if mounted on a machine."

Meditating on Pujya Daaji's thoughts: Correct Thinking, Right Understanding and Honest Approach to Life
Pujya Daaji
My Gurudev Pujya Daaji, reveals three steps to our individual transformation viz., Correct Thinking, Right Understanding and an Honest approach to life. All these three to be done consciously. I humbly share my understanding after hearing his talks and after pondering over them for few days.We may encounter the following questions in the process of understanding these three directions given by Daaji:
When is one's 'thinking' considered as 'correct'?
Simply put, thinking is correct when there is peace within; absolutely correct when there is absolute peace or absolutely no ripple in the heart, intense peace within.
When is one's 'understanding' considered as 'right'?
Correct thinking process leads automatically to right understanding. We can feel our understanding is right or correct when there is conflicting wave with the peace that is already in in the heart that was the effect of right thinking.
How is 'thinking' connected to 'understanding'?
Thinking, before it is translated into words or action should transform into right understanding. And this happens when we apply or relate our thought process to the life and situations around. So thinking in the form of understanding is something that gets converted into words and actions
What is honest approach to life?
Honest approach to life is that which creates no fear or guilt but creates peace in the heart.
Therefore all three directions suggested by Daaji create real peace within, which is the sure sign of correctness of all three. The peace within indicates, that there is no doubt; if there is doubt, thinking or understanding is not correct absolutely. And so we can correct consciously.
Some more thoughts:
What IS 'correct thinking'? How to know our thinking is correct? Thinking is done by the mind. Everything that ne thinks affects the heart where everything is felt. Therefore correct thinking is when the heart feels undoubtable peace; great peace within. The mind is influenced by various things such as our belief systems, religious philosophies, our nationalities, our languages, our colours, our traditions, cultures, our past and so many things that are often in conflict with the heart, the real experiencer and there is no peace within. Those are the moments when we realize the need to rise beyond these things or transcend these things to arrive at the real peace. Therefore thinking can be correct only when the heart is experiencing deep peace. ONLY when we transcend all the factors that interfere with peace. And this sort of peaceful state of mind or the meditative mind can be arrived at and deepened only when we practice meditation regularly. So correct thinking is the first step for us to transform ourselves.
Correct thinking leads to the right understanding of things around us - the situations, the life and people around, the Nature, our own self, and helps us to arrive at to make the right decisions.
Right understanding helps us to have an honest approach to life. That is, it does not allow pretensions; allows us to be as we are. Honest approach is the attitude that we inculcate with correct thinking and right understanding. Honest approach to life allows us to be humble and in tune with Nature easily.
World peace can be achieved only when there is peace within the heart of every individual. Individual peace can only be achieved though correct thinking, right understanding and honest approach to life, one leading to the other. And Correct thinking is possible only through meditation. Therefore to transform, correct thinking is the first step.
