Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 SAIRAM TO BROTHER UNNIKRISHANAN DO NAMASMARAN CONTINUOSLY WITHOUT STOPPING, WHEN YOU STOP “MAYA” ILLUSION WILL CATCH YOU (BAD HABITS). CONSTANT REMEMBERING OF LORD WITHOUT BREAK. MAYA IS PET DOG OF LORD. IF YOU WANT GETRID OF MAYA (BAD HABITS) YOU HAVE TO DO NAMASMRAN CONTINUOUSLY WITH TOTAL FAITH. YOU ASSUME YOURSELF BABA. THEN HOW YOU WILL DO IT. SINCERE PRAYER FOR DISCREMINATING GOOD AND BAD THOUGHTS. SOON YOU WILL RECOVER FROM THIS MAYA. WITH LOVE AND SWAMIS BLESSINGS VENKAT On Behalf Of unnikrishnan_19 Sunday, August 03, 2008 11:22 AM [sBOI-post] Hot to get rid of a bad habit permanently? Sai Ram everyone, There is a saying we can move mountains but not our bad habits. Most bad habits are so strong it will overpower you and you are left helpless. For almost a decade I am stuck with one bad habit I just cannot get rid of. I can probably sway it away for a couple of days the max, but it will come back with much more strength and vengeance. Even if I chant sai ram it will still take over me sooner or later. Nothing seems to work. Even when I know Swami dont like what I am doing, still its of no use. Anyone who has some experience in getting rid of bad habits permanently please do provide some help. I am in a critical situation, how long will Swami tolerate by behavior? When I am writing this, I am writing to Swami Himself asking for his help. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 SAIRAM!! Mr Unnikrishnan, You have asked a very pertinent quesion. Yes, it is absolutely possible to get rid of bad habits. Perseverance is the tool. The details of the practice is very long since one has to understand the mechanics of the Mind which is resonsible for the operation of the vasanas which is the basis of the habit. Sri Swami sivanandaji of Divine Life Society of Rishikesh has written elaborate articles on this very important subject. If u read the same you can get an absolute idea about it. i give below the link to such a book which u can down load and read http://sivanandaonline.org/graphics/ebooks/swami_sivanandaji/downnload/mind.html#_VPID_23 Mind- Its Mysteries and control Sairam t.vaidyanathan bangalore --- On Sun, 3/8/08, unnikrishnan_19 <unnikrishnan_19 wrote: unnikrishnan_19 <unnikrishnan_19[sBOI-post] Hot to get rid of a bad habit permanently?

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Sairam Brother, Dont Know whether you will consider this suggestion or not. This was actually told to one of our brother when he asked a question quite similar to yours to one of our Senior Sai devotee in our Samity. He also wanted to get rid of eating Non Veg. He tried a lot but he could'nt get rid of the same. He was frustrated and then finally he raised this question to this member. His answer was very simple. Dont try to control the desire ... The more you try to control the desire, the more frequently you do the same. BUT U CHANT SAIRAM WHILE DOING THE SAME. CHANT SAIRAM...SAIRAM...SAIRAM.... Like the More you Chant, the effect will be much More. Here slowly the chants will start influencing your habits. First time or second time or Third time... Dont count the no of time. A stone may be broken in the 21st hit but that does'nt mean that the hits till 20 are in vain. They all have contributed to it. So You also Need to Chant the Divine Name of Swamy when ever you are in Such a Situation. Swamy will definitely help you come out of this Hectic Situation. But you need to start the first step my dear friend. And once you take the first step towards Swami, Our Bhagwan will definitely take 100 steps towards You. And one more thing which I would like to Add here is that, We are all part of Swami's Divine Mission. Swami has infact selected you for his divine Mission. Swamy will never make a Mistake. Our Bhagwan is always PERFECT. So Never ever you can be bad or worse. Swami is always there and He will definitely take care of every one. Just we need to make the proper Step from Our end. The fact that you Yourself felt that You are doing some thing which Swamy doesnt like and you want to stop that itself is the first Step which you have taken. Slowly... with Namasmarana, all the difficulties which your are facing now will definitely disappear like Passing Clouds. So dont worry my dear friend. Just do the namasmarana... Praying to Swamy to Hold All of us in his divine hands....

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 SAIRAM Dear Mr Ganesh, First u think that it is absolutely possible to quit the bad habit. NEVER think you may not be able to do it. Believe and have firm faith that it is sure that u will leave the bad habit, what ever it may be. The persevere. Always think that you should eradicate the habit. You may fail 100 times, but your effort should continue 101 times, viz: N times you may fail, but you should try N+1 times.The old samskaras [evil tendencies]of the mind will suggest you that this is not possible. This is coming out of Tamo Guna. Ignore the suggestion of the dark side of the mind. Develop the Sathvaguna, by chanting the name of GOD always. All the while, you should have firm faith on the Lord and pray earnestly that HE should help u in getting rid of the bad habit. YOU ARE BOUND TO SUCCEED!! BECAUSE ultimately the Good overcomes the EVIL, though it may take a while or long time. This is the natural Law. This is the essence of all epics, like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc. Bhagavan [the inner rules of all souls] will surely help you. --- On Tue, 5/8/08, R Ganesh <r_ganesh88 wrote: R Ganesh <r_ganesh88Re: [sBOI-post] Hot to get rid of a bad habit permanently?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Think deeply about the ill effects of smoking.When you smoke you enjoy alone. Your loved ones do not enjoy along with you.But when you suffer due to the bad effects of smoking every one around will suffer. So why create a possibility of giving sufferings to your loved ones.QUIT and QUIT AT ONCE. Don't do it in phases by reducing the number of smokes. It will never work. Whenever you feel like smoking think about Swami and your family. This has worked for me.But I could quit only when damage was done to my health. Better late than never.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Sai Ram Love yourself and stop judging yourself for it. Everytime you repeat the " bad habit " . Open your heart, offer it as a gift to Swami and allow him to transform it for the whole humanity. Love yourself by doing thi, be patient, hold the intent to transform yourself throught Swami's grace and love. Love ist the only true power.
