Coming to the Title , Why do negative attributes,particularly anger,lust and attraction for world things rather increase (instead of decreasing as is expected) when a seeker starts moving on the path of Prayers/Sadhna /Bhakti/ bowing down to that One supreme ? Isn’t this a major contradiction ?

The answer is No, there is no contradiction at all. Thats exactly how things work on a spiritual journey. Those who have walked the Spiritual path or are on it will agree to what’s written above regarding so called negative attributes gaining strength ( though nothing is positive or negative as Nature sees it ) ..And this is really discouraging because during initial phases , a seeker is already surrounded by so many doubts that whether, whatever he is doing actually means something or is all fake, superstitious & useless things (especially after first few days of extraordinary excitement & enthusiasm, that boredom in prayer starts to set in) .

So first of all – Dear Seekers , don’t worry, this happens with every seeker during initial stages and when I say initial stages, it may mean months or even years, depending on one’s karmas and How & when nature chooses to bless you

Now let’s understand why this Happens :

See , it is as simple as understanding that how old habits die hard . And here we are talking about Habits at the level of soul i.e. behaviours , characteristics cemented over lifetimes probably.(basically our Sanskaars / संस्कार as we call it in Sanskrit language) . Hence , as we commence our spiritual journey, these old, strong, deep rooted attributes feel threatened and hence show resistance to our efforts to rise above them as same will leave them worthless. So they give their last shot by increasing their influence on you (just like a lamp flare glows to maximum for 1 last time before fire goes off). In terms of chakra, as Mooladhar Chakra starts getting active due to Sadhna, all these anger / love for worldly pleasures / lust etc start surrounding you.Basically, you are being cleaned and hence the dirt comes out in the form of negativity .

So what is to be done when this happens :

Its a test for you and easiest way to pass the test is to just let it happen . Let anger come, let lust come, let any form of vasna (desire) surround you , Don’t feel guilty at all for all this as guilt feelings create energy blockages..Be soft on yourself, and see what all you can refrain from doing comfortably.Parallely , continue your sadhna at all times. Eventually, things will settle down .They surely will.

That’s all for today. Look forward to reading your responses at [email protected]

Stay blessed 🙏🙏
