I. What can a person do during THE SILENCE OF THE QUIETUDE ?
Supernatural Knowledge –These are exterior manifestations of the Divine in the person. A person who is on THE INWARD JOURNEY should not pay any attention to these nor desire them.
Whenever you get reminded of these experiences, it is good to THANK “PARAMATMA” and move on and not to linger or dwell on them.
The moment, the supernatural knowledge is communicated to you, the benefit of it is achieved at that very moment and such experiences cannot sustain a Soul forever.
Lingering on them can instead be harmful which can be a block to progress in “THE INTERIOR JOURNEY” or in one’s life. One might be following this for one’s satisfaction. But there are times they take us away from reality and rather than accepting the situation one can be running away from it.
I.Advantages of Detachments and JOURNEYING INWARD.
”KNOWLEDGE from “ANTAR YAMI”,”THE INNER BEING”,”THE TREE OF LIFE” (PRARTHANA AN INWARD JOURNEY) – THE PATH”
All the forms of knowledge are consolations as they are experienced through the five senses and when one detaches from them, then the Soul is not like a guard outside but is an insider who knows the home and enters “THE INNERMOST PART” “THE REAL DWELLING”.
Once we don’t dwell on such Supernatural experiences, we are JOURNEYING in a very practical way.
IMPORTANT -These consolations keep the Soul focused on peripherals or externals it could take decades, and detours to JOURNEY INWARD.
