GUIDE LINES FOR IMPROVING SPIRITUAL LIFE by chennai based meditator K.B.GOPALAKRISHNAN NOVEMBER 27th 2006,5:23AM
Have a living guru Make your practice come alive. Conduct is reflection of practice. Understanding reflects in your peace of mind. Peace of mind will come as speech.
Stop changing other people conduct. Instead pray for them to come out of ignorance. When some one asks for guidance Remember your conduct and practices are tested. Views and theory are polished.
Use the other person as your teacher (messenger of god) Your own insight will expand Never play the role of guru Conduct and practice will go for toss. When some one praises you, you will be tested soon.,
When you are in conflicts double your practice Align the conduct. When you see progress in spiritual life Thank god and ask divine not to test you. Silence and peace are shadows of good practice.
Never speak of ill of traditions and gurus For mind will become deluded. It will long year before u recover. Every one or thing has limitation Never discuss other people faults.
Choice between money and god Choose god. Many times worry of future Hurt of past will bind you tightly Double your practice to loosen the grip Once peace descends then only Work with external world.
Trying to master this world with Arts, techniques theory ideas is useless Knowledge is endless. Keeps expanding like the air More empty you will feel.
Try to master world with conduct reflected as loving words and peaceful actions When you offer victory to others and defeat on yourself Peace will follow like a shadow
If needs are fulfilled and happiness reaches peak Mind will find faults. Tell boldly about your faults and limitation. Ascend in to view with practice Descend in to worldly life with conduct.
When you are full you will be emptied When you are emptied you will be filled. Dedicate your prayers for your family. When you graduate then for the whole world.
When you think yourself higher than others Worldly life and people will hurt you Your practice and conduct will be tested. It is time to strengthen your practice Use it as opportunity to come out of delusions and fear.
Every day begin by remembering- Suffering of world life and beings Think of how fortunate this human birth is Think how you are fortunate than other people Thank each every one- past present future.
Ask for forgiveness for hurting people Knowingly and unknowingly. Ask for protection for practice and conduct. Don’t worry of enlightment It will come to you when you are ready.
Use every problem as means of awakening. Guard yourself from sex, money and praise Those whose minds are perverted will argue For sex and indulgence Do not listen to them
In doubt ask yourself follow scriptures or Imitate lifestyle of Madhwacharya or Shankara or Buddha or enlightened one Only in sex money and praise not in others areas. Practice meditation like milarepa Compassion words like the Buddha.
On view the great shankara ( nirvana shatkam) For conduct, the great mahavira on ahmisa Or atisha seven point mind training. For loving kindness Like great jesus chirst.
For surrender the great lao tzu on tao. For life style the stories of Buddha past live. Before the start and after the practice Ask for help and thank All enlightened one of all traditions.
Use your skill, money and power To propagate dharma till u become An embodiment of dharma Laugh a little this world is still a dream.
Try to master prayer with out ceasing All else shall be added on thee.
