AWARENESS
Make this your goal
Mahaprabu: Even respiration, which is composed of inhalation and exhalation is not a continuous process. It has gaps. But Awareness is 24 x 7! When you are not aware, you are in darkness. And in that darkness you are making decisions for your life. Therefore your life will continue to be in darkness.
Make this your goal:
One full day, from 6 am to 6 am to be in constant Awareness.
Practice daily with this as your goal. Move towards it. This will be a huge achievement. Then everything you do will be the right thing. In that journey so many unimaginable good things will happen. You will enter the stream of the source. All you need to do is make a sincere effort. Success is guaranteed. How so?
In worldly things you cannot guarantee success. For e.g. if you want to become the president of your country and work your hardest possible, still the result is not guaranteed. But not so with the case of Awareness. If you work towards becoming aware for 1 full day, you will achieve it 100%.
Why? Because Awareness is available 24×7!
During the above conversation the line got cut a couple of times.
Mahaprabu: Mahaprabu is dialing different numbers, but with Awareness. For example, if you are attending an event about the negative effects of alcohol, at least while going to that event you should not drink!
