Few days back I was looking back at my short spiritual journey and wondering how so many bad vices are having less effect on me now. I know for sure that it is not that suddenly I have developed a great will power.
I realised that the major factor which helps me is my acceptance and acknowledgment that Paramatama is sitting with in my heart. It took me some time but once I started `experiencing' Him it became very difficult for me to overlook Him. When I `do' something which isn't right then most of the times I become conscious that He is watching me `doing' it. After a few `misses' I could no longer ignore Him.
upadraṣṭānumantā ca
bhartā bhoktā maheśvaraḥ
paramātmeti cāpy ukto
dehe ’smin puruṣaḥ paraḥ
Yet in this body there is another, a transcendental enjoyer, who is the Lord, the supreme proprietor, who exists as the overseer and permitter, and who is known as the Supersoul. (BG13.23)
I also realised that I can't request Sri Radha Shyamsundar to enter my heart if They have to watch me doing all this monkey business.
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.
