Commentary on the Master’s Message
“Doing moderation is one, one concept which I have tried to stress most, which is real Viveka. There is no other Viveka other than that. Second thing is doing the appropriate thing at the appropriate time. If you sit in meditation, please do meditate, if you are attending to cleaning, do cleaning. If you sit in meditation and start thinking about what is happening in your office or what has happened to yesterday's work, you are doing the inappropriate thing at that point of time. Learning this fundamental principle is a must. And it's a deliberate will alone that helps you. Though one person has written to me he has willed, but he is not able to do this. He is only contradicting himself. If you have the will, you will throw it out. And the best way of throwing it out as Master puts it is to ignore. Ignore thoughts which are alien. Not an easy task. Because it compels your attention. Right. Let us go further. Why does it compel your attention? Why do you think, something else other than doing that appropriate thing of meditation? First thing is mainly because it's an internal affair. You have been accustomed to see things, hear sounds, smell, taste. This is what exactly you have been doing outside. You have never learnt earlier, either in your school, or college or life to look into yourself.”

“Realization is not possible unless moderation and balance are restored. It corresponds closely with the very real thing which existed at the time of creation, when everything was in a perfectly balanced state. Now after the lapse of time, degeneration crept in. Our senses and faculties lost the balance and everything went into disorder. What we have to do now is to control our senses and faculties in order to restore moderation in them. To cultivate moderation we have to pay special attention to external ways of life too, e.g., gentle and polite language, courteous dealing, sympathy and love with fellow beings, reverence to elders, unrevengeful nature and so on. These habits are greatly helpful in our making. Moderation is a characteristic of nature. If we gain complete moderation we are in a way in conformity with nature and it is the very essence of spirituality. (Dawn of Reality Page 40, Para 2).”
