“Genuine repentance and seeking pardon can become easy when we fuse the logical mind with the emotional mind and this is what the Prayer given by our Master aims at. Meditation or contemplation on the miserable condition we have which we have placed before the Master seeking pardon is the effort of the emotional mind or feelings of the heart to persuade the rational mind or our head. The practical wisdom we gain from such efforts cannot be easily explained and one needs to feel it himself. In such an exercise one realizes how much of 'ego' which is nothing but our own creation can play and try to fool us. While I am sure the aspirants who try this fusion have their own experiences I think it works like this. <br/> A. Firstly we gain an insight that there are two forces namely the logical and emotional minds at play. At this stage we let the conversations and feelings flow freely between both sides of our brain. This is great mind chatter and can be tedious also. But with effort we will explore the different aspects of our dualistic nature through personal introspection. We discover that our conflicts are due to our perception of reality which is influenced by the experiences in our past. <br/> B. Secondly finding ourselves in an enigma we start appealing to Master. Most of the time we find the compromises and solutions to our inner conflicts emerging from within. <br/> C. Thirdly such solutions show us a way to meet situations in life in future by enabling us make better decisions and assist us in going forward with our life. <br/> D. Fourthly sometimes we feel concerned about an imbalance between our needs and wants. We discover disturbances between ourselves and the other people that are involved in our life. They may be our family, friends, co-workers and the like. At this stage it is necessary that we should not come to any conclusion of judging the merits of either but understand that it is part of our psyche and the differences should be accepted as part of our human journey to the Infinite. <br/> E. Last and finally at this stage we need to surrender to the Master in Toto without preferring any alternatives that may appear before us and seeking relief through such means.”
