B. JOURNEY -TRANSFORMATION TO LOVE/ CHARITY – Most of all THE JOURNEY is for a transformation, so that INTERNAL LOVE which is born through THE JOURNEY can hold the SOUL and transform it into a new creation. That Love experience through THE INWARD JOURNEY will birth patience, humility, courage, kindness, selflessness, hope, peace, forbearance, wisdom, confidence, generosity and acceptance of the other. If I have love I will not rejoice over the wrong, be jealous, brood over injury and be quick tempered. If I have love I will have no fear of the person. If I have love and not craving, for love is eager to share, but craving is restless to possess. If I have love, I have faith, for faith is the channel through which the LOVE of “ANTAR YAMI” “THE TREE OF LIFE”, “THE INTERIOR SPRING” is experienced. The person who is troubling you is a broken person who needs healing. The liberating effect of loving others is not only experienced by you, but also the other who dislikes you. Just as a rain falls on the earth and has its effects, so also will our struggle to love. And if faith can move mountains, only love can lift up this broken world. A loving person will be wishing well for all including those who have hurt and will desire the good of every person. In the measure the person puts this into practice; he/she/they will grow into FREEDOM and LIBERATION. THE PEACE overflowing from within makes a path to approach others in a different manner so much so that only the pain and the softer side of others is visible. Then the SOUL is able to accept the other for who they are rather than what they do.
Further the gushing the Love from “ANTAR YAMI” cannot be touched by any hate. And as the Flame of Love burns within, every worldly desire will melt away and “THE INWARDLY POWER” births PEACE which travels far and wide. The purpose of the PRARTHANA THE INWARD JOURNEY is igniting this very LIGHT WITHIN which in other words is“THE POWER OF LOVE”, “PREM SAGAR”
B. JOURNEY -LOVE/ CHARITY AND HUMILITY – When THE LIGHT we have within is ignited submission begins. When the fire becomes stronger, this communication becomes stronger. The Intellect begins to submit more. When we are transformed in LOVE–our SOUL is constantly growing inCHARITY and HUMILITY.
And when THE JOURNEY is anchored on HUMILITY it is undisturbed. If CHARITY is accepting the other, HUMILITY is acceptance of self. Any disturbance is a sign of lack of HUMILITY or due to attachment to things or my ego. When we grow in HUMILITY, Gratitude brings realisation. That everything is a gift of “ANTAR YAMI” “THE TREE OF LIFE”. And there is nothing that one has not achieved from “THE INNER BEING”. Dependence on “THE INNER BEING” births genuine HUMILITY.
C. THE JOURNEY is about unfolding the layers of Self Love to start loving ourselves. Three important parts of “THE JOURNEY” – SELF-KNOWLEDGE, SELF–REALISATION and SELF-ACCEPTANCE . THE SILENCE OF THE QUIETUDE calms the SOUL and when the interior noise shuts down, the SOUL starts receiving the LOVE INWARDLY. It identifies the inner struggles caused by attachments and the person starts accepting himself or herself and progresses towards a change. Thus SELF-KNOWLEDGE is liberating. Because HUMILITY transforms knowledge into WISDOM.
SELF-KNOWLEDGE / SELF–DISCOVERY (REALISATION) must lead to SELF-ACCEPTANCE (*otherwise guilt feelings come) and SELF-ACCEPTANCE (is essential for INNER HEALING) which leads to SELF-SURRENDER . When SELF-KNOWLEDGE comes the SOUL keeps on growing in small things to grow in “THE PERFECT LOVE”, then the SOUL accepts and surrenders to “THE TREE OF LIFE” which flows “RIVERS IN THE DESERT”.
