Pujya Babuji Maharaj’s Message
From Peerless Pearls
“At bed time, feeling the presence of God, repent for the wrongs committed unknowingly. Beg forgiveness in a supplicant mood, resolving not to allow the repetition of the same.”
Dr. K.C. Varadachari’s Message
Daily Inspiration
“The keeping of a diary is helpful not merely for the purpose of noting our spiritual experiences but also of our wrong doings, doings done on our own initiative and without practice of God's and Master's presence and direction.”
Rev. K.C. Narayana’s Reference
Commentary on the Master’s Message
“When we are feeling the presence of the Master, repent for the wrongs committed. Some say, "I don't feel anything wrong has been done by me, I don't have to repent for it at all" therefore the question of "following this Commandment does not arise". So the question of begging forgiveness and other things does not arise for them. But then please understand that in the beginning itself we have committed the mistake of jumping out of the Homeland, we ought to be terribly repentant for that. That is the original sin we have committed, we know, when we left our homeland. As fools we walked out of it. We are now struggling to get back. How can we say we have not done anything wrong? And in the process we have developed several twists and turns, several samskaras have been formed. We have got ourselves attached to so many brothers, so many sisters, so many women, the mother, the father, and our children; we have loved them, we have differences of opinion with them, we fight with them, we appreciate them and criticize them. In such a situation how do we say we have not done anything wrong? Instead of attaching ourselves to that One Source, have we not attached ourselves to any and everything?”
Supplementary resources
“Prayer at bed time is one of the toughest to do not only for the above reasons but the environment of the prayer itself is such, that prayer is not what we are naturally inclined to do. Most of the people have bed rooms which are supposed to be pleasant for activities which are least spiritual. The habit of either hearing a good music which satisfies the carnal plane or viewing some videos which gratify directly or indirectly the lower order mental activities is also prevalent in most of the homes. Any alteration in this is bound to result in some misunderstanding with the spouses. ‘What if?’ I can pray where ever I want to and it is the will that matters’ is a naïve answer. The atmosphere and the thoughts prevailing in the atmosphere are the main factors that affect our action. In this context alone I said quite some time back that we should not meditate on the bed itself.”
