Nurture Good Qualities

One thing we should all understand that inside our body(shareer) except the soul(the atma) whatever parts are there, are given by the earth, the nature(prakriti). Everything is Prakriti made. Only soul is not prakriti. It is the nature of prakriti to go downwards. It does not lift you up.

If you see water flowing from mountain, it goes downwards towards river. Water has the tendency to flow down. But the tendency of the fire is to move upwards. Fire down not go downwards. If you light a diya or candle, it will blow upwards. If you do Havan. the fire from Havankund goes up. The light from the deepak, candle or any fire goes up. The light goes up. The soul is like a light which goes up. Our soul is like a fire which moves in upper direction.

Like hunger, thirst,sleep, anger,moha. lobh all these desires are natural, nature made(prakriti).
But for dhyan(concentration)prayers, pooja-path, anything that connects to God, you have to find time and work hard. It is not natural or spontaneous. It is easy to learn bad things, but to learn something good, we have to take some pain. For learning good things so many schools and colleges are opened up. Are there any school. colleges for teaching something bad. We would remove our children from any school or college where we feel our child is getting spoilt. To teach good we have to struggle and work hard.

We have to plant good seeds and wait patiently for trees to grow so that we get good crop. Otherwise grass and other unwanted plants grow without any effort. But we don"t consume them We want good and healthy food.

Same way the nature has three qualities like satva, rajoh and tamoh. Excess of Rajoh and Tamoh Guna is harmful but excess of satva guna is always beneficial.
