Momentum Kill a Good Sadhaka--走火入魔

A discipline sadhaka practice regularly until one day he or she wake up and found out his or her body changed. They feel differently. Their body is full of energy. A lot of energy, a lot of inspiration. Many thoughts come out from the source. At this moment it is a good sign and also a bad sign. A good sign is you have inspiration and some good idea from your inspiration which you can share with your friends. But also if you can not control your thoughts for this condition, you can not do meditation from now on. When you do meditation, all thoughts are coming out from no where. Day by day, month by month and year by year, thoughts control your meditation. Some sadhaka think in this condition, they feel great. They are in higher level. Actually they are just a beginner. They started to tell people about many ideas they have. (All are from the source.) But they can not do meditation from now on, but they can do a lot of work or a lot of service. i saw so many margiis in the jagrtii like this in Taiwan. No matter you are a family person or an acarya, you may suffer from this illness-- so called "走火入魔" in Chinese. Most of family person will recover from this problem after they get married. But acarya, no, this symptoms may continue forever; You should know it. So, do not say you can do a lot of service but you can not sit and do meditation, specially as an acarya, like Didi Ananda Mitra.

PRETEND

Once Ramakrishna taught us a weapon to protect our spirituality is to "hiss".  You know as a snake who meet their enemy, first thing they do is "hissing".  With this "hissing" sound, enemy will not come.  Suppose those enemy still comes to get the snake.   well what does snake should do?  Ramakrishna did not provide an answer.  But BaBa did.  BaBa said to us "pretend".  You should not get angry.  But you should pretend you are angry.  Once an acharya asked BaBa said "he can not sit and do meditation.  What should he do?"  BaBa answered,"You sit there and pretend you are doing meditation.  You are an Acarya, you should sit there for 2 hours."

I like  "pretend" very much.  Pretend you do not know how, actually you know and you can.  Pretend you are furious, but you are not.  Don't be a show off eagle.  No need.  This way you can avoid a lot of unnecessary things come to you.

hehehe!  Once BaBa pretend he did not know how to cook potato.  Just once, he got the right of exemption not to cook potato.
