SINCERITY

Don't make it a task or chore

It is like to learn swimming does not require you to be in the pool always. Don’t worry. Even if you leave the pool your interest is in swimming. A force will take you to the pool. Only this will taste good. Any other attempt at efforts will make it a chore and it won’t work. And you cannot be without this so don’t worry. Don’t make it a chore, don’t make it a task. Don’t become serious. Just be sincere. This is a one-way street. Let it be if you are non-meditative. You need that energy to go to the pool. You go into the hot sun to come back to the shade of the tree. Povardhe Varatthukkaga thane. The going out is only to come back in.

Create opportunities for going into Existence, for sitting in Dhyanam.

Person, Seeker, Realized

Let us say there are 3 stages in your life. You are in Q. In Q don’t advise people in P. They will drag you into P. Stop all those interactions. I need my own experience. This whole birth and this setup is for one thing only. Knowing myself. Don’t miss it. Mahaprabu is there. Don’t worry. Bravely go ahead. Strive sincerely till it becomes effortless R. Do work, enjoy it. Even giving water to someone, do it fully. Throwing a piece of trash, throw it consciously. Second to Second you will move. Be happy!! Recollect and remember these notes. Recall the silence. Keep on bringing back these.
