the earthly things. Under the refuge of the Paramatman, sit down for Bhajan with determination and concentration and see whether you do not acquire permanent joy.” in this way the mind steeped in worldly flow of thoughts can be turned towards Paramatman with rational and good thoughts. The way to turn the mind from worldly thoughts can be through repetitive Satsang, good thoughts, Japa and Dhyana. The mind thus becomes pure and subtle.

One needs to practice his Sadhana in the way one likes or the way shown by his Guru. it will certainly yield the desired result. sri Guru Maharaj also said, “Do not change your shore from one to another. stick to one shore with determination and you will attain the God you love”. Therefore to take one path with determination will result in the realization of the truth.
another time in the garden of sri Lakshminarayan saraf, we found Babaji sitting on a bench and reading scriptures with great concentration. he was least perturbed by the strong sun rays. as soon as we paid our obeisance to Babaji, he said aloud “Jai Maa Lakshmi.” Whenever someone paid his obeisance to him he would either say “Jai Shankar” or “Jai Mahadev” or “Jai Maa Lakshmi”. Now let me relate the conversation with Babaji that day. The topic of that day was how sadhus roamed about fearlessly as well as continued
