 Personal check list  Things to do, shop, chores, bills to pay etc.,  Travel check list  What to take with you, Check the tickets, passports, visa, cash, check book, toiletries, comb  Rich or poor – Setting goals and having discipline is important  Write it down before getting it done

 Sets the mood for the entire day  Same time in the morning and place daily  Sit comfortably  Say the prayer for attaining the goal whole heartedly  Have the idea that your heart is filled with divine light  Ignore wandering mind. Center back  Meditate for 30 minutes to one hour

 Why Divine Light?  God can not be defined  The quality without duality is Divine Light  To become one, we need something without duality  Why heart?  Heart is the seat of The Soul  It is the center of feeling  Transmission ( Pranahuti) is received at the heart  It is now circulated to the entire body by vascular system – so whole system gets divinised

 After the day’s work is over  Sit comfortably, preferably same time & place  Think all the impurities, grossness, complexities, impressions, heaviness are going away in the back  In the form of smoke or vapor and  In its place Divine energy is entering your heart  After 30 minutes you will feel lighter and fresher

 Impressions are to be cleaned daily  Not to specify good or bad  Deeper Cleaning is also done by prefects  This is done during individual sittings of meditations with prefects fortnightly  You feel lighter in your mind as your worries are removed  All that is unnecessary leaves you  Personality changes over a period of time

 Done before going to bed  10 – 15 minutes  There is a prayer  Statement of facts – Your goal, obstacles and who can help you as you practice meditation and cleaning  Helps in stress free sleep  Prepares you for next day – fresh and lively

 Guru or Master  One who shows you the way or a light bearer  Gurus are more than teachers – Guide.  They walk with us in some sense, showing us the way  The need for the Guru grows as we grow spiritually  Shankaracharya – 3 rare things  Human Birth, Intense Desire for liberation and association with a Guru

The teacher of teachers, you know, is only God. The second teacher is the guru. The third teacher is your life. For those who have no access to God or guru, life teaches very capably, provided you take life as a lesson to be learnt, to be mastered, and from which we have to evolve into what I would like to call a knowledge-less universe or world, which Sahaj Marg calls the Brighter World. - Revered Chariji

 Oh Master!  Thou art the real goal of human life  We are yet but slaves of wishes putting bar to our advancement  Thou art the only God and power to bring us up to that state  Meditate on the meaning of the prayer and experience what it does to you!
