Continuation of main points of the satsang of Swami Nardanand on July 17 in Brussels

....'We need to go deep inside to find the Secret, to discover our true Nature. The problem is that attention always goes outwards, attention is always extroverted. So this makes it difficult to turn inside and find our True Nature. With Shaktipat, the process becomes much easier. With the awakening of Shakti, the person becomes naturally introverted. When Shakti awakens it automatically moves in the direction of the Absolute Truth. For this, Shakti has to battle against our samskaras, our impurities. But if you give this process enough time, and with profound aspiration, it becomes much easier. It is a very natural process, the mind and the intellect are not involved in it. It may appear difficult in the beginning, but gradually our consciousness becomes deeper and then the process becomes much easier. In other paths like the path of wisdom or the path of devotion, the main blockage is the ego. There is always the risk that the jnana yogi develops the ego of knowledge, that the bhakti yogi develops the ego of devotion, that the tantrika develops the ego of gaining powers. So, in other paths, ego can be a great obstacle. Another great obstacle can be the lack of proper guidance. In the non-shaktipat systems, one needs the correct guidance at every step. In Shaktipat, both of these obstacles are not there. One allows the Shakti to work inside so the ego is not there to 'do' anything. In Shaktipat one also doesn't need an outer guide. Shakti will guide every step from within. One more important thing: in Shaktipat, Shakti is looked upon as a Mother. She is our Divine Mother. When a child likes to go to India and her mum consents, does the child have to apply for its own visum, does it have to buy its own tickets, does it have to plan the itinerary, the book the hotels etc? None of this! The mother takes care of everything. Likewise, Mother Shakti will take care of our evolution. So, with deep love and surrender, hold on to the hand of Shakti. She will take you to your goal. You do not need to doubt that you would lack the qualities and capacities for them. Mother Shakti provides everything provided we turn to Her with love and devotion.'
