Inference

By chasing our desires, we can never feel fulfilled. Only more desires will come up. By fulfilling our desires, we can never hope to have contentment. When we acquire more and more desires from the outer world, we naturally feel that life is not sufficient, that we had not been given time or resources to fulfill these desires. We must understand the nature of desire. It is like a fire that can never be satiated. Unconsciously giving into desires without restraint leads to a feeling of discontentment.

Let us contemplate upon the four inner powers we hold, namely:

• the power of words or vāk śakti;
• the power of thoughts or mano śakti;
• the power of feeling or prema śakti;
• and the power of living or ātma śakti.

Let us try to remember at least one incident from our lives, where we, intentionally or accidentally, demonstrated the power of any one or more of these shaktis and the life events of your choice simply manifested without any effort!

For example, Joyce wanted to have an earthen clay pot. But could not convince her parents to buy one. She went for a walk in the evening and to her surprise two unused clay pots were sitting on the public sidewalk. The owner had no use for it and had given them away. Joyce manifested mano sakti

Let us share our powerful stories with our friends and listen to theirs.

Four inner powers are: the power of words or vāk śakti; the power of thoughts or mano śakti; the power of feeling or prema śakti; and the power of living or ātma śakti.

When you create the right space inside you, all the events of your choice will simply flow into your life without any effort!

"What exactly happens at the time of leaving the body?" What kind of experiences surface as the soul passes through each of these seven layers of the being ?
