Day 2
There are four important things to keep in mind and that we need in our life:
1. We need Good Deeds (पुण्य):
Towards what kind of good deeds is our heart attracted to? The good deeds that bring us closer to God is very hard to obtain or is almost impossible. We will not be sad for the thing that we are not happy to receive. If money is lost, we are sad but we are least bothered if we do not get a glimpse of God in the temple. What is our mentality? Why is there no attraction towards good deeds that bring us closer to God? We cannot love anyone, love just happens. Meera was ready to consume poison for Sri Krishna whom she had never seen at all.
2. We need Intellect(प्रज्ञा):
We lack understanding and intellect that we need to identify God. If we give laptop or mobile in the hands of a cow herd, he does not have the intellect to operate it. What is our mentality? We have God in our lives but we don't have the intellect to understand who is God. We should never waste time as time once lost will never come back. We need the intellect to understand business or the intellect to understand God?
3. We need Ability(पात्रता या योग्यता):
We need the ability to implement God's teachings. For example, if we like a sweet and if we get it, it is due to our good deeds, we have the understanding to eat it, but if our stomach is upset, it means we do not have the ability to eat the sweet. Being able to store is one strength, being able to secure it is another strength and being able to increase what we have is our real ability. If we do not have enough ability then we have to keep waiting. The foundation of faith and devotion has to be strong. Our new generation is more interested in logic than in faith. Advanced technology is slowly ending our abilities.

4. We need Manliness(पुरषार्थ):
If we like a sweet, our manliness is in chewing and being able to eat the sweet. Where are we lacking? Are we lacking in Good Deeds, Intellect, Ability or Manliness? If our stomach is full or we are in tension, we will say not to our favorite sweet also. Similarly if we are not able to give God a place in our heart, it means we lack manliness.
In these four, if we have to choose any one, then we have to choose Ability. The rest will follow. In spiritual path, if our ability is going down every day, then we have to understand three things:
a. We don't have the strength to listen to our weakness.
b. We don't have the strength to accept our weakness.
c. We are not ready to change.
If you have less expectations from people, you would be loved by them.
