Jagadguru Aadesh:

 💫March 11, 2023: Highlights of soulful morning sadhana🎼

🌷✨Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj ki Jai!✨🌷

Mind is the doer

Remember firmly that in the divine realm, the performer of every action is the mind alone. The world accepts actions performed by physical senses without attachment to the mind as genuine. But actions done towards God cannot be done superficially, no matter if you chant a million times, do penance, yagya, charity, or other austerities in such a manner. This is because God resides in our heart and notes the extent to which our mind is attached.

I have made such a beautiful prayer of humility which is the essence of the entire Vedas and scriptures. However, you speak it out without feelings. Reflect on the prayer's intensity and attach your mind when you say it (tad japa: tadarthabhāvanaṃ). When you have taken out five minutes for prayer and arti, do it properly. Understand and sing the kirtans with feelings. Admonish the mind when it thinks of other things during sadhana. Do not listen to the mind. The mind is sinful, become aware of this.

Your heart and intellect have now understood what you have to do to attain the goal, through God and Guru's grace. Now don't be a slave to the mind. We may not be alive tomorrow. Hence attach your mind and sing the prayer, aarti, kirtan, or anything you do. Or, do nothing and just think of God in your mind - but any action that is performed without the mind and only using physical senses is not considered devotion - it is rather called acting. Those who were so sinful that they could not speak out the name of Ram became saints just through their firm resolve. Hence become alert and practice - promise yourself that you will attach your mind during sadhana and will not be careless about this. See where you reach in 10 days.

Kirtan:

- Hare Ram sankirtan + Ramayan chaupai 

Ha Raghunandan praan pirite. Tum binu jiyat bahut din beete.

- Dayamaya! Apni or nihaaro (Prem Ras Madira, Dainya Madhuri, pad no. 41)

- Mere ek Tum, mere ek Tum (Yugal Madhuri, page no. 12, sankirtan no. 7)
