Ways to Get Rid of Bad Qualities

||  Shree Hari   ||

(Avaguna Mitnaaneka Upaaya)



When you begin to see your bad qualities,  then it is a great thing.    The more clarity with which one can see the bad qualities,  that much more quickly one will server relationship with those bad qualities.   This is a very great spiritual point. 
 
When an aspirant sees his own flaws, then he begins to fear them, and feels sad wondering what to do?  I am regarded as a "sadhak" (spiritual aspirant),  and look what my state is !   Then this sad feeling is a good thing, however to regard those sins as being in one's self is not so good.   Pay attention, this is a very great point for aspirants.   Just as the eye liner applied within the eye,  cannot be seen by the eye, but everything else is seen,  similarly, as long as bad qualities stay within one's self, till then they cannot be seen clearly, and when one begins to see bad qualities, then one must understand that now these bad qualities have become somewhat distant from me.    If they had not become distant from me,  then how would it be seen?   The more clearly that it is seen,  that much the bad qualities are going further away from us.    Something that is extremely far and extremely close cannot be seen by the eyes.   Therefore when seeing bad qualities,  one must become pleased that now, the bad qualities are not in me.  Now these are going away.   They are getting eradicated.  The mistake is when an aspirant assumes them to be in him.  
To assume the bad qualities and sins to be in us, is a very big mistake.   By accepting the bad qualities in us, the flaws become real, they get existence, when as such, the flaws have no independent existence at all.    You yourself have an independent existence.    On regarding the bad qualities, the sins, the flaws as being in one's self, the sins continue to establish existence, and by that means, the sins continue to remain alive,  they do not die;  because they receive your strength and power. 
 
The sins, flaws, bad qualities are not in us  -  one way to recognize this is that the sins are seen.  The second way to recognize this is that if there are flaws, sins in us,  then it should be seen at all times.   As long as there is knowledge that "I exist",  till then, is there side by side knowledge about  the sins, flaws being always present?   No it is not there at all times.  It comes and it goes.   Then how can such a coming and going flaw,  be in us?   Time and again, I tell you people, that to regard sins and flaws as being in yourself is a very great mistake.    It is such a big mistake, that let us say that you are inviting the sins, that you please stay here and do not go anywhere.   In this manner you are inviting the sins and forcefully making them stay.   
 
In essence, the flaws are not in you;  because - 
 
Ishvar ansh,  jeev avinaashi |  chetan amal sahaj such raashi ||  (Manas  7/117/1)  
 
Himself being an ansh (part) of God,  that is eternal,  sentient, conscious and full of knowledge.  It is pure, that is,  there is no impurity in it, and it is naturally blissful.    Innately, naturally, self-evidently it is blissful, then too it is desiring contact born pleasures from others.   That is the mistake it makes.    When his senses move away from others and become established in the self, then it will experience that natural blissful state.  
Naa such kaaji panditaan na such bhoop bhayaam |
Such sahajaan hi aavasi trushnaa rog gayaan ||
