Wisdom Through Gayatri Sadhana


Gayatri is a mantra which inspires true wisdom and inspires the mind intellect with inner psyche and emotions of the devotee in the righteous path. In the mental sphere, with the development of virtues, vices like passion, anger, greed, attachment, pride, jealousy, selfishness, laziness, intoxication, lewdness, deception, falsehood, pretence, worry, fear, sorrow etc, get reduced and with their reduction virtues like self-restraint, regularity, sacrifice, equality, humility, simplicity, straight-forwardness, truthfulness, fearlessness, carefulness, valor, wisdom, courage, patience, compassion, love, service, generosity, dutifulness, devoutness etc starts developing in the Sadhak. The result of this inner transformation is that the Sadhak acquires the wisdom and strength to meet with equanimity routine challenges and setbacks of daily life. Physical ailments a re averted on account of exercising self-control over sense organs and maintaining regularity. Wit the awakening of the power of discrimination, one gets rid of worries, sorrows, fear, apprehension, attachment, loss etc, which are all created due to ignorance. On account of faith in God, the intellect remains unperturbed and the Sadhak remains care-free about his future. Other people are also benefited by the Sadhak's virtues like service-mindedness, politeness, generosity, philanthropy, honesty, benevolence etc and there is no apprehension of any harm being done to anybody by him. The result is that out of gratitude for his unconditional service people become his admires, friends and defenders. On account of this mutual goodwill, life becomes exceedingly blissful. Thus, with the increase in the element of righteousness (satva) in the physical as well as mental sp here a current of divine bliss overflows and Gayatri Sadhak remains always immersed in it.
Man being an integral part of Divinity, all divine powers is hidden in the human soul in seed form. These powers remain dormant under the debris of mental agitation, sensual perversions, defects and vices in the form of ignorance. People think that they are poor, miserable, insignificant and infirm, but the Sadhaks who are able to sweep away this debris from within them are able to have a glimpse of the pure light of the inner self. They know that the light of the Omnipotent Supreme Divine is present within their own soul and they are its true inheritors. As soon as the ash covering live coal is removed, red-hot flame of blazing fire is revealed. This live coal, although small in size, has the potentiality of causing devastating conflagration. With the unveiling of this curtain an insignificant man becomes a great man. Human soul is a storehouse of supreme knowledge, wisdom and extraordinary powers. By their enfoldment a Sadhak becomes a siddha yogi. Nothing is required to be brought from neither outside nor does it require the grace of some god or demon to attain Siddhis. What is needed is simply to remove the dense and dark covering which envelops the inner light. The sun of righteous Sadhana of Gayatri removes the clouds of ignorance and the resplendent divine light of the soul is manifested. This is instinct with all divine powers, riddhis-siddhis.

The development of righteousness through Gayatri Sadhana gives birth to numerous kinds of spiritual and material prosperity. The purification of the body and mind makes worldly life happy and peaceful. With the growth of prudence and spiritual power several difficulties which appear to others to be daunting like a steep mountain top become as simple and light as straw. The Sadhak finds no insurmountable hindrance in accomplishment of any work. Either circumstances change according to his will or he adjusts and changes his desires to the circumstances. Suffering is due to conflict between desire and unfavorable circumstances. A prudent person is always resilient and avoids conflict and thus leads a happy life. For him the ganga of divine bliss flows on this earth
