Glimpses of Sentiments
YOU PERFORMED 'SADHANA' BUT
Supreme Soul :- Child ! You have on many occasions observed my order. But you did not give attention to sentiments of surprise. You also performed 'SADHANA' more or less. But you did not give weightage on feelings. You did find 'SADGURU'. Yet in the feelings of submission many shortcomings remained. For worship, you chose good fields, but remained careless regarding glowing faith. You kept time for meditation precisely, but did not take care about good wishes. You remained with 'SADHARMIKS' for quite sufficient time, but did not maintain regards for them In 'SADHANA'; you got many assistants but you did not appreciate them; you read many religious scriptures but you could not cultivate glowing non attachment to wordly things. You gave prominence to outer power but missed discretion. You concentrated upon all matters and materials but could not take proper care for their proper utilization. You performed, got performed 'SADHANA', but in unselfish way, without any false pride you could not support it. A religion started with inspiration, you could not transform it into love, intuition, a regular good habit. You only looked at numbers of worsships; you did not keep at the centre, the purity of worship, the purity of goals, the purity of the soul. You remained succesful in worshipping with concentration.
