While taking the principle of taking responsibility in a given situation – it is good to know the difference between conscious responsibility & consciousness responsibility. Conscious responsibility can be understood as conscious surface level acts and consciousness responsibility is more of psychological change for evolution in consciousness.
Sri Karmayogi says, one conscious act is worth more than hours of meditation. Even in routine acts that we do we are not performing at its acme 100 % of what we know. So at first level it is consciously having responsibility to execute physical, vital and mental requirements.
The conscious responsibility for mental – is understanding, for the vital – it is energy and for the physical – it is shedding inertia for perfection in work. In other words, consciously making the body work to achieve a perfect result, conscious sustained interest to do that is vital energizing the work. Mind consciously understanding the process of this accomplishment. We can understand this if we can analyse how unconsciously we do everything based on our habits of doing that work. Also, we can see how consciously we restrained ourselves to acquire manners, how consciously we controlled our desires to become cultured.
So conscious to consciousness is step by step method. Unless we are conscious of every act we do – as Mother wished or against Her wish – we cannot go to the higher psychological level of consciousness responsibility.
The following steps that can be followed to develop that aspiration.
1. Intense prayer to be able to be conscious of Mother.
2. Emotional saturation of doing it for Mother.
3. Understand the entire process of these coming to you.
4. Full detachment of result and concentration only on perfection in physical, mental and vital requirements.
5. Consecration
Domestic Harmony
A question by a deveotee on domestic harmony – that leads to exploitation. As said in my previous mail, you are taking submission as harmony.
