WHEN EFFORTS DONT BARE FRUITS

Dear Balarishi,

How much ever efforts we put, certain things come to a standstill for some reason or the other. These blocks seem to be beyond human capacity. These blocks appear in materialistic life also. How do we overcome such blocks?

        The blocks which you face in things you do are somewhere connected to your earlier lives. They originate from your karmic structure. I don't mean to say that, you cannot overcome them. Your thought process, your targets, the way you want to do things will all carry impressions of your past lives. Some would have emerged as school toppers but they might not be that successful in college. Some would succeed in very first effort, whereas some might have to struggle to succeed. These are all due to certain influences of past lives. You can see its depth in each and every happening in your life. In fact, any incident happening in your life is only to give purity and clarity in your thoughts.

We all belong to nature and nature has its own cycles. Though all might not be aware of this, with some subtleness you will be able to see this. The likes and dislikes you have in you, have not come now. Those seeds were within you long back and now it has grown as a tree. They have grown strongly and make you stay firm in certain things. This is how views differ from one person to the other. Even the incidents which you don't like happen only to cleanse you.

Many don't want pain and sorrow in their life. But the process of such happenings cleanses you  and also gives you clarity. If you are mature enough, you can learn from each and every incident. When pain comes, the power of that pain gives some clarity in what you do. You analyze it carefully and get a clearer picture. Your karmic structure records each and everything you do. You will do certain things playfully. You will do certain things with awareness. You will do certain things with involvement, some deeds would disappoint you. All these are in accordance to your Karmic structure. If you don't understand this, you will keep on repeating the same pattern with more intensity. If some are selfish they will grow more selfish. If they are perverted, they will grow more perverted.

Life is like a moving wheel. During this process it gives you a turn. If you are not aware enough and if you do  whatever pleases you, then life will also take its turn. You will have to face the game which life plays and you call them as blocks.

Proper spiritual initiation into Kriya, meditation, mantras and prayer will give you the power to burn these blocks. You must never try to cross or surpass these blocks. You should always try to burn them by uplifting your spiritual power, though it is not that easy.

You also need to analyze the blocks which emerge in your materialistic life. Life itself is for a higher purpose. If you face certain blocks, may be you need to put more effort or maybe you are attempting in an avenue which is not appropriate for you. Even if certain things are done with selfishness that too will create certain blocks and hindrances. If you indulge in selfless service in some other area that too might help to remove blocks in major things you do. Selfless service should not boost your ego. Service of selfless nature will give clarity in your thoughts. If you see in right sense, thought itself is an action only. If you can analyze yourself without any prejudice, you will attain this clarity. Apart from these, acceptance is a major way to bring joy in your life. What I mean by acceptance is, there will be full-fledged effort in your work but you will not be bothered about the results. But you will whole heartily accept the results. By attempting these approaches you can burn the blocks which you face both in your materialistic life and spiritual life.
