Su: Gurudev's thought for the day:
You should not expect man to be grateful when you do everything good for their welfare. Else you will become very cynical about man, which is tragic for a spiritual sadhak. Do what is to be done as best as you know and march on to do more..... never look back, nor try to hear over your own shoulders. Even those who do apparent and real harm to you is in himself seeking his own self-punishment. Have pity for him, please. He deserves your pity more than you deserve and need his goodness. THINK!!
SS: What we are ready for and can attain by a little stretching is effortless for us. What we are not ready for appears tough and one cant sustain it. Verse 5 spoke about pooja. Verse 6 spoke about japa and verse 7 about contemplation. Many of us would like to contemplate and when we try we either sleep or mind wanders. So its better to try out the simpler options first, to cultivate purity and single pointedness. If mental japa can happen continuously and we experience joy of taking His name then it means we are ready for contemplation on the formless.
VS: Swamiji is there any directive on the speed of Japa.
KG: I was thinking... whatever speed help achieve the goal of Japa. Going by the yardstick - Manas japa better than loud japa, slower the better. But the speed should absorb the seeker. To start with some pace may help to keep the mind focussed.
