Siva’s Will be done

 

The global recession seems to have affected my willpower too. Feeling very lazy to get up early in the morning on weekdays as well as weekends. Cold weather is also contributing to it – makes it very hard to get up early and go to temple. Past few days i have not been doing anything other than lazing at home during weekends watching TV, eating food etc.

Gurudeva has mentioned the following things about Willpower

It is only when one identifies his willpower as separate and a tool unto itself that he is able to move into the next phase, of discerning the difference between the primal life force within him and what it manifests.

Complete surrender to Sivas will is when the instinct and intellect is quieted.

Therefore, the process is one of breaking up the patterns of instinct and intellect, separating the impulses of them both, through regular and regulated periods of sadhana and meditation, so that the divine will, spiritual energy and infinite awareness can filter in and cause a new intellect to form. Beginning the sadhana, and the continued practice, is the first sign that Siva's will is being done in the aspirant's life. New energy abides within him because of the transmutation from the base to the Divine. New knowledge comes forth from within him as he builds upon it through remembering his accumulated inner experiences as if they occurred but a moment ago.

Gurudeva – On Overcoming Karma

 

I will be putting the above quote from Gurudeva to practice in my life from today.

Aum Namasivaya

MORE THE WILLPOWER WE USE, MORE WILLPOWER WE HAVE

Everyone has willpower. It is inherent to the makeup of the physical-astral-mental-emotional body. The center of willpower is the manipura chakra, located at the solar plexus. Unlike other energies, the more willpower we use, the more willpower we have to use. Actually, by
exerting our willpower, we store up new energy within the manipura chakra. This happens when we work a little harder than we think we can, do a little more than we think we can do. By putting forth that extra eff ort, we build up a great willpower that we will always have with us, even in our next life, the next and the next. Willpower is free for the using, actually. Therefore, the more you use your individual willpower in your religious service, in your business life, your personal life, your home life, your temple life, in fulfilling all the yamas and niyamas, the more willpower you have. It is an accumulative, ever-growing bank account.
