Hi Chetana

On This Saturday, May 07, 2016 a thought came to me.

Why do your mother and father harp on good company? ? Is it because they fear
for you.

Yes & No. You see this birth is chosen by your Soul for some purpose in life. And in
the course of your life by virtue of the power of your intellect you will chart a
different course which may be the most useful for the society in General.
IT IS ALL A PLAY OF THE EFFECT OF TIME ON MIND AND MATTER, AND YOUR PARENTS JUST
LIMIT IT TO THAT OF A COMPANY THAT YOU KEEP.

As you keep a fruit over a time you will find that the fruit is starting to rot. Is it not?
Similarly you will simply by looking at object, you know how old that is. As so TIME
has a severe impact on matter. Our body changes with time.
Similarly time has a huge impact on the mind. We generally do not notice this. We
feel different in the morning than in the afternoon, and how do you feel in the
evening. And how you feel at the night is very different from what you feel in the
morning, isnt it? The feeling and the state of the mind changes with time.
Likewise the thought patterns are also affected by time. Winter, Summer, Rainy
seasons, all affect the mind differently. As per the research of our vedic scholars
movement of the moon impacts the mind in its own way. They used terms as
Chandra-bal and Tara-bal about how the position of the moon affects the mind.
Then the question comes - "Are we slaves of our mind?"
NO! As we learnt during our course in Sudershan Kriya there is intellect beyond
the mind. When the intellect is strong it overcomes the impact on the mind. When
the intellect is weak the emotions overtake the mind.
NOW what if the intellect is affected there is something beyond the intellect, called
the Consciousness or the SHIVA TAATTVA
I say, "No", because there is something beyond the mind and that is the intellect.
When the intellect is strong it overcomes the impact on the mind. When the
intellect is weak, then the emotions overtake the mind. Now what if the intellect
also gets affected? Then there is something beyond the intellect and that is the
Self; that is Shiva Tattva.

IN taking refuge in the Higher-Self or the Shiva Tattva the impact of the time on the
mind and the body is reduced.
So time impacts the mind and has specific measurements. Similarly our company
also affects us. What we hear impacts the mid. The people with whom we are,
affect us, because of their MIND aura which surrounds them. If we are in bad
company then negative feelings like anger; jealousy, etc affects us. Good company
gives a good feeling. In a bad company mind gets muddled up and complaints
about others and circumstances. (LET NOT PEOLPLE OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECT
YOU AOL Part I), Mind gets affected by time and the company we keep.

Next thing that affects the mind is the food we eat. But okay the effect of the food
can be minimized if we correct the other two.
You will find the ups and downs of the mind due to time is dependent on the divine
will of the time. All happens as per the Divine Will. Those who know about time are
called Devagya.
Now as Guruji Says:
What is above GOD? It is the Brahma Gnyan (Knowledge of the Self). A Brahmagnani is much above a Devagya. A Brahma-Gnani is being centered in the Self.
What I am is what you are, and what everything else is too. This firm experience
and faith brings Brahma-Gnan and then nothing can shake you. Even if it appears
that it is shaking, actually it is not, it is making you strong. Brahma-gnan is bigger
than all other gnan (knowledge).
All this satsang you attended is Brahma-gnan. Take everything and proceed further
together.

Love and Keep loving
