Conviction means that your entire belief has changed one
hundred percent and that “I am definitely Shuddhatma” has
become an established fact. Whereas the established faith of “I
am Shuddhatma” can also break, conviction will never break.
Faith can turn around, it can change, but conviction will not
change.
Conviction means say we take a stick and bury it half way
in the ground. Now if a lot of pressure is applied to the stick,
it may flex and bend a little; but it will not leave its location. The
conviction of “I am Shuddhatma” will never go away.
Experience, awareness and conviction (anubhav, laksha
and pratiti respectively) will be there. Conviction will stay
forever. Awareness (laksha) will stay for some time. If we get
busy in our work of business, we lose our awareness (laksha);
and as we become free from work, the awareness will return.
And the experience (anubhav) occurs when we are free from
work, we have withdrawn from everything, and we are “sitting”
alone. Then we can get the “taste” of experience. Nonetheless,
the experience will keep on increasing.
Experience, awareness and conviction. Conviction (pratiti)
is the foundation pole. After it is established, awareness
(laksha) will arise, then “I am Shuddhatma” will constantly
prevail in Your awareness (laksha). Then whenever there is a
little respite and You remain as the “Knower-Seer” (Gnata-
Drashta) for a little while, that is the experience (anubhav).
