Some seekers who are performing spiritual practice under the guidance of Sanatan Sanstha have severe distress caused by negative energies. This is an indication of the battle between the good and the evil taking place in the subtle dimension. While narrating the Geeta to Arjun, Bhagawan Shrikrushna had said – ‘I have already killed the Kouravs in the subtle. You are just a medium (in the physical dimension)’.
It is necessary to win the war in the subtle dimension on the strength of spiritual energy; in other words, it is necessary to make the subtle negative energies powerless. This is the mission of Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale. Here are some examples on the extent of efforts Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is making to eliminate the distresses of seekers who are experiencing it. We express gratitude unto His Holy feet for this. |

1.Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale learning even through the distresses caused by negative energies, with a thought that ‘(I) have to leave the gross body one day anyway’
During one guidance session, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale said to me, “The distress is continuously increasing; however, we can learn something even through these distresses. This would be useful for mankind. It would be good if the humans learn. We have to leave the gross body one day anyway”. I replied, “I had a similar thought. It is alright even if we die for the seekers. However, for the emancipation of mankind, the experiments must not stop”.

2. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale giving objects used by Him to seekers so they get Chaitanya (Divine consciousness)
Based on many experiments it has been established that all objects such as ball pens, pencils, papers (on which He has written something), comb, clothes used by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale have positive energy. This is confirmed even by seekers, who have had spiritual experiences. When Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale understood this 20 years ago, He started giving objects used by Him to seekers so they could obtain Chaitanya. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale gives His objects to seekers to keep in a cupboard in their room or below their beds so that seekers obtain positive energy. Other Saints give Vibhuti (Holy ash) to their devotees, whereas Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale gives His items !

3. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale lovingly assisting seekers by observing their conduct in a short time so that they do not regress in their spiritual practice
Personality defect and ego removal process as explained by Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale is His immense contribution to entire humanity. Today, every individual is deprived of Anand (Bliss) in life due to his own personality defects and ego.
Constantly saying that the source of this Bliss is within and helping seekers get rid of the six foes is the epitome of His spiritual love.
He did not stop at just speaking about the reasons of unhappiness, but also explained the efforts required to eliminate personality defects and ego. He started the review process so that seekers persevere with these efforts. ‘Review of individual spiritual practice’ in Sanatan is one of its unique features. The secret of faster spiritual progress of Sanatan’s seekers is this review process, which creates awareness in the seeker. The review is done by speaking lovingly, with patience or at times, sounding strict with the genuine intention that the seeker should not regress in his spiritual practice.
A. Following are some examples of how Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale assists the seekers in their spiritual practice.
A1. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale observing the actions of a seeker and saying that the seeker has more ego : Once, some seekers were unloading items from a truck. At that time, one seeker was just standing there. He was instructing others what to do without doing any satseva himself. Since there were many items to be unloaded from the truck, it was expected that he should also assist in the task.
When Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale observed this, he said – “Despite the fact that there are so many items to be unloaded, he is not doing anything. He is just instructing others. He has so much ego !”
Later, when the responsible seeker was asked about this, we learnt that the particular seeker has intense ego manifesting in different aspects, such as feeling that what he is doing is right, inability to accept what is being told to him, doing as per his own wish, not listening to others. Thus, we realised that the seeker had regressed in his spiritual practice due to ego; this understanding made it possible for us to help him in his spiritual practice.
A2. Telling seekers in the Spiritual Text section to take atonement for their mistake of not categorising papers as per their size and shape despite specific instructions : Some years ago, Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale told the seekers in the Spiritual Text section to segregate one-side used papers as per their size and shape (small papers are useful for writing notes; A4 size paper can be used for printing, etc.). This was to be done so that the required size papers are readily available to the seekers. Hence, the seekers would be able to save time and one-side used papers would not be wasted.
When Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale realised that the suggested segregation had not been done by the seekers, He asked them to take atonement for their mistake.
A3. Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale strictly making the seekers in the Computer repair section aware that the computer cable has been folded untidily : Once Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale realised that that the computer cable had been folded untidily near His desk where He does the satseva of writing Spiritual Texts. He immediately made the concerned seekers aware of this and said, “There should be yearning to perform any satseva perfectly instead of performing it superficially”.
Later, He instructed us to conduct Personality Defect Removal satsangs for these seekers so as to make them aware of their mistakes. During these satsangs, it was understood that the computer cables at other places in the Ashram had also been tied untidily; so a plan was made to neatly tie them. Through this incident, we could learn that Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale has intense yearning to imprint the sanskar (Subconscious impression) of performing satseva perfectly on the seekers.
