apparent doer who is simply instrumental in the process), an intense mental note is made about it. But if no note is made about the nimit, such inner spiritual effort( purusharth) will lead one to liberation.
There is always engrossment with the relative self when a note( nondha) is made. Thereafter it will go under the authority of the relative self. The Self’ s realm and energy will be blocked.
When note is taken, the mind becomes poisonous towards that person. The one who has stopped taking notes is considered to have turned to the state of becoming a vitarag.
3. Commonsense: Welding
These days commonsense has been sidelined, proclaims the Gnani Purush.
“ Commonsense means it is everywhere applicable, theoretical as well as practical.” This definition of commonsense is quite original and wonderful.
The one with commonsense will open all the locks, no matter how rusty they are. He does not clash with anyone; he avoids clashes by using his commonsense at home, outside, in the workplace and everywhere else. He does not allow separation due to difference of opinions, with his wife at home.
No matter how intelligent a person may be but if there is no practicality in him i. e. if there is no commonsense, there will be clashes.
As one’ s ego goes down, his‘ dealing’ will become proportionately beautiful with everyone.
Commonsense develops by talking about various things with everyone in an affable way. Commonsense is lessened by scorn for the worldly life. The one with commonsense is in tune with everyone.
