Notes from the Autobiography of a Yogi
Chapter 15 - Cauliflower robbery
This was a very interesting and humorous read I really enjoyed.
In this chapter I learnt that God, divine father cares for all of us and works for all of us. Most of the times we forget that he is there to look after us and just keep working harder and harder, suffering more and more.
The truth is that father is there and he feels for each one of us. He just wants us to approach him with faith, he just wants us to ask him trustfully.
Many a times, he is looking out for us and answers our requests but we fail to notice it, even if we do notice it sometime forget it after the excitement were off.
Divine father has given us every power to choose our own faith. He wants us to make the choice of returning back to him and start searching for him. He is disappointed when we ask for more and more of his worldly gifts and not directions to reach him.
There are a lot of divine laws that id covering our world, we have only started to re-discover them one by one through the relentless pursuit of finding how the universe exist.
We are all in search of the hidden laws of the outer universe, there is no diminishing energy exploring the out world and universe. What father wants us to do is to explore and probe the inner world and find him. All the laws are applicable to the outer and inner world.
Sri Yuktheswar always emphasised the importance these in life:
1. Daily practice of Kriya Yoga
2. Self respect
3. Simple diet
4. Regular exercise
5. Calmness
6. Determination
Diet and exercise is not new to a lot of us, we know they are important and we are in a struggle to achieve them.
Calmness and determination might be new to a lot of people, it is new to me.
I have always felt that I am not very determined in anything that I take up. Distraction is our main enemy. Most of the times we don’t know why we are doing certain things in life. We are carrying out orders that were given to us without any thought to why they were suggested in the first place.
Remove everything from your life, if you want to be determined to achieve one thing in life. Removing the other priority will help you to think better and focus on only the most valuable thing for you. Then put all your focus into achieving that goal.
In self- realisation, there is nothing more important than finding divine father. Put them as your first priority and then remove everything else that is standing in your way. Ask him to take care of the things that are coming in, if you are forced to take up something, understand that it must be your dharma instructed by divine father.
Everything is him, every moment is him. Don’t be judgemental about the results of things. Believe in him to make everything better for you.
