Psychological and spiritual efforts required to bear the adverse times - 2

If an individual performs spiritual practice in the present birth, he will get rewarded in each birth. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is a ‘Moksha Guru’, who thinks of the welfare of the entire human race. Real welfare of an individual lies in God-realisation. Hence, on the backdrop of the impending World War 3, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale does not get thoughts about a country that is defined by its geographical boundaries; instead, He gets the thought that sattvik people (irrespective of the country they belong to) should survive so as to realise God. All said and done, as part of His duty and as gratitude unto the Nation, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is incessantly active for the overall welfare of India. – H.H. Sandeep Alshi

In our previous Issue, we started with – Preparations required at the psychological level to face the adverse times. Under this topic, we learnt about the importance of taking autosuggestions, various autosuggestion techniques and the method of taking autosuggestions. Now, read the specifics of autosuggestions.

Floods

Autosuggestions to overcome the fear of floods

Autosuggestion (Technique A2) : Whenever I get frightening thoughts such as ‘during the coming monsoon the river flowing by my village will flood and my life as well as that of my family members will be in danger’, I will become aware that I already have an adequate stock of food, medicines, etc. in the house. I have already understood the emergency measures to stay safe during floods. I have God’s support, so I will be able to certainly face the flood calamity. I will chant and continue with my work calmly.

Autosuggestion (Technique A3)

1. It has been raining heavily all day. The river flowing by the village is gradually getting flooded. My family members and I are stranded in our house.
2. I am praying – ‘O’ God ! I completely surrender unto Your Holy feet. You only save us from this calamity.’
3. I am remembering that I already have adequate stock of food, medicines, etc. in the house. Hence, my family and I are feeling calm that we do not need to go out of the house.

Autosuggestion (Technique A2) : Whenever I get the thought of ‘what will happen to me and my family if there is an earthquake in my village’, I will realise that I have prepared a bag full of essentials to be carried along while evacuating after an earthquake. Every member of the house has decided what to take with them. I will realise that because of our spiritual practice, God is definitely going to protect me and my family. Hence, this will increase my faith.

Autosuggestion (Technique A3)

Riots

Example : Mr Prabhakar is stressed with the thought that the intensity of the adverse times will keep increasing. Consequently, there will be riots near his house in the next 1-2 years which will affect him and his family severely.

Autosuggestion (Technique A2) : Whenever I get a thought that ‘there will be a riot near my house which will affect me and my family severely’, I will realise that I have been trained in self-defence so I am confident of fighting off the rioters.

I will also become aware that I am making other preparations, such as installing solar power system, installing additional tanks for storing water, etc. I will realise that if I perform spiritual practice, God will definitely help me, therefore, I will increase my efforts.
