ને સમજાય છે વજૂદ...

જ્યારે સંવેદનાથી નવાજે છે પ્રભુ
મર્મ હોય છે કંઈક વિશેષ કાર્ય વસ્તુ .

વળી પ્રેમ ને દરકાર ભાવ ભરપૂર

જરૂર કોઈ પૂર્વતૈયારી રૂપ છે મૌજુદ.

ધીરે ધીરે અનુભવો ઘડે છે મજબૂત

સમજ ઊતરે છે ને સમજાય છે વજૂદ.

એ સંવેદના નથી હોતી ફોગટ કે ભૂખ

પૃષ્ઠભૂ છે કરુણાકૃપા ઝીલવા ફળદ્રુપ.

દિવ્ય યોજન, પ્રયોજન ઊંડે મૂળભૂત

જીવતે જીવત કેળવાતું એ તત્વરૂપ.

જરૂરી હોય છે ખુલવું, સંતુલનમાં પૂર્ણ 

સપ્રમાણ માત્રા, હળવી ગતિ, ખુદથી ખુદ!

પ્રણામ...સાભાર પ્રભુ...

It is a matter of temperament. Some are psychically and vitally sensitive and responsive to all that comes from anywhere; others are solid of nerve and walled against invasion. It is not at all a question of strength or weakness. The first have a greater sense of life and answer to life; they suffer more from life and get more from it. It is the difference between the Greek and the Roman. Even without egoism the difference remains because it is of the temperament. In yoga the first type are more able to feel everything directly and know everything in detail by close experience; it is their great advantage. The others have to use the mind to know and their grasp is less intimate.

...in your inner life you develop intensity in such a way that at will whenever you want, that intensity will come, not by pulling it, not by artificially creating it, but whenever you want a certain state of consciousness it will come by will. Allow that kind of thing to happen instead of feeling that now you are going up and going down and so on. These divisions will remain until we arrive at a great harmony.

Question:  But this makes you more sensitive, more emotional and more prompt to get hurt. If you have to vacillate between ...

No. Why do you get hurt? That is the important question, I do not understand. You have become sensitive because of intensity and now you come back from that state of intensity in a situation.

Question:  But you get more subtle vibrations, you are able to take them in.

Yes you have become more tender you might say as a result of your intensity and therefore anything that happens in the outside world affects you very intensely.

Question: How do you cope with that? Do you not carry the power and strength that that intensity has provided you with?

You can but if you have not, then this question does arise and we have to find a remedy for it. Do not allow tenderness to be lost that is the first thing. It is very precious but there should be developed simultaneously a strength without losing tenderness. Actually ideally speaking, one has to become softer than the petals of the flower and harder than steel, the two things when combined together gives you the right condition of your consciousness. There are people who work very hard, they fight a big battle for the truth, courageously; for them to come in a state of tenderness is very difficult; they are fighting a hard fight, courageous fight accepting all kinds of difficulties, surmounting difficulties and in that state to enter into intensity of sensitivity, tenderness, sweetness, is very difficult. That is deficiency from the other side. But both the things have to be developed. In fact in our process of integral yoga we have to burn the candles on both the ends, the development of intensity of emotions and to divinise it and the intensity of hardest work requiring greatest courage, and strength, hardihood, both have to be developed. If you can keep a balance between the two, very good…
