Man has divided his energy too. A little energy in money while a little in religion. Spent some energy in earning, and some in building temples. The river within a man has been divided into twenty five parts. How can the river now remain there ? Now, tiny brooks have been formed there. A river will again be formed if we rejoin all these brooks. Electricity--energy -is bound to be produced there, where the river flows in a single current. There is no reason for non-production of electricity there.
Have you ever seen electricity being generated ? Go to any dam. You will find that water is accumulated in a reservoir, and then it is released to fall with a great speed upon a turbine. Electricity will be generated if the water-current falls on the turbine incessantly. Where there is one current, intensity and concentration, power or energy is bound to be produced. If you do not get success in meditation, just search your soul, and enquire within where have you defaulted ?
If you are taking energy to one place, then there the strength of your arms will be recognised, the strength of soul will be respected. There will be no trace at all of insult and slip. I want that man should totally transform himself from within. Scanty drizzle is not rain. Rain should fall so much as would enable the crop to grow, Of what use is the rain which does not even dampen the dust on the earth ?

To relinquish a little while consuming it, is 'anu-vrata'. 'Maha-vrata' is total detachment from enjoyment. ‘Vrata' is always 'maha-vrata'. If the tendency to enjoy persists, then the 'vrata' is not complete in the real sense of the term. "Vrata' is liberation from desire.
I shall ask you not to have so much faith in 'anu-vrata' as in 'maha-vrata'. In my opinion 'anu-vrata’ is just coaxing a
