For example someone who’s amidst the battlefield where a single slight of attention might lead to people getting their bodies ripped off – in that state one’s perception and passage of time is quite different where one can notice every single blinking and every breath and an hour spent in such a state would be quite different from how easily an hour slips away in the ordinary unvigilant life of living.
I’m thinking that the only remedy for abusing Kaal Purush is to try to live practice and stimulate such war like vigilance and concentration, Is this a right method because I was reading what the Mother in one of her talks on Destiny and Determination, says that – the intervention of higher planes can alter things and change the course of Karma if there’s sufficient aspiration and effort. My own idea here is to practice somehow and enter subtle planes of passage of time to make amends and not pathologise myself by merely regret and guilt because these two qualities can eat one’s soul away.
Is time an impersonal entity altogether, or can I make a prayer to Kaal Purush with sincere effort and aspiration to help in this endeavour and also how do I have to deal with waves of guilt and regret that might lead one to absolute despair and block the movement forward with acceptance and aspiration to change?
Why complicate the mind with all these ideas of guilt and amends to the Kaal Purusha? Why not simply pray and aspire for the needed change and surrender oneself at the Feet of the Divine Mother, the one who is beyond both Kaal and Akaal. Vigilance is alright, but can a blind man keep a vigil? He first needs a pair of eyes. As long as we are in Ignorance, ignorance of who we are, of our soul, of the Divine, of the purpose of our life, we are like blind men struggling to see. To see, we need to go to the source of Light. Therefore, the wise have recommended to first read, then think and meditate, then seek the Master and realise. Read the books that uplift and transform us, books such as the Gita, works of Swami Vivekananda, writings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, works that inspire and ignite until one day you feel that the fire of aspiration is lit in your heart. Once that happens, the journey of moving out of the bondage to Kaal and the errors that are the natural outcome of ignorance will cease. The only way to get rid of the past is to move towards the future. And for that, what better way than to take refuge and shelter in the arms of the Divine Mother whose Love is ever ready to receive and redeem all Her children without distinction. Leave the past behind as a thing that has gone and turn towards Her with a will to change. Nothing else is required.
Affectionately,
