Question ‒ We do Spiritual Practices, “Bhajan”  (Prayer, Worship and Devotion),  do Satsang (associate with Holy Company), then why worldly influences continue to befall on us ?
Answer ‒ See Brother !  Please pay attention to this one point that I am sharing with you.   Who is the worldly influence befalling on?  Think deeply.   Worldly influence is befalling on the world only.   Worldly influence is not befalling on the “self” (swaroop).  First there was worldly impact, and now it is not there.   Is this known to you or not?   Answer this.  

Question ‒ There is one point that comes to mind,  that this thing is understood in satsang, but later on it does not remain.    
Answer‒ Let it not remain later on.  In satsang it was understood wasn’t it.   You wish to see it remain later on, this itself is a big mistake.   Improve it right now.  The improvement is,  that this does not remain in your dealings in the world,  i.e. it does not remain in the inner-senses and  tendencies in the inner faculties will be according to the way you relate with the world.  If the tendencies are not so in the inner faculties (mind-intellect etc),  then how will you relate in this world?  How will you eat ?  How will you speak ? How will you walk ?   If there is nothing to be said, then how will things go on?   As you relate, so will be the tendencies, but there is someone who is the knower of both the relating and being in solitude,  isn’t it or not ?   He who is the knower of both these,  he is the knower of both inclination (relating with the world) and disinclination (being in solitude).   Understand this point,  then you will be greatly benefited at this very moment.   
Let us say inclination and disinclination -  both these are states.   Both are  propensities.   Action is also a propensity and Actionlessness is also a propensity.  This you must have heard for sure, that good actions are propensity and actionless is not a propensity, but as such both good actions and actionless are propensities.  But the illuminator that illuminates the actions and the actionless,  in that illumination there is no propensity.   That illumination is clearly seen when sitting in solitude ,   but while relating with the world, it is not seen.    Then even on not seeing, when relating with the world, who is the knower of that disposition?  That propensity too is known.   Isn’t it so ?  Then that knowing remains or not?   The only thing to know is that both inclination and disinclination, are not there in him.   This is a very straight-forward point, very easy point - That which reveals both the inclination and disinclination,  is free of both the inclination and disinclination.   There is neither inclination or disinclination.   Have you understood this point or not?   Now remain firm on this point.   From today itself, stop seeing one consistent form in your tendencies.   Today itself, by my request, give up the point that may the tendencies remain uniform at all times.   As long as you hold on to this,  till then you will not be satisfied, therefore leave it today itself.  Right now !  How ever you may be in relating with the world.   Because actually speaking the thing that remains forever is the illuminator of both the inclination and disinclination.   Then why are you giving so much importance to disinclination.   The real thing is illumination only.   The light that illuminates both, inclination and disinclination, that light is the real thing.   Both inclination and disinclination are not real and tangible.   Both inclination and disinclination take place with the aid of an instrument (saapeksh)  From the perspective of inclination, there is disinclination and from the perspective of disinclination, there is inclination.  In reality, in that light, there is neither inclination nor disinclination.    Isn’t that correct?  Then, you are situated in that only.  At my request,  please accept this.   Leave this doubt that as long as there is inclination, and the effect that it has in the middle,  till then you are not alright.
