The spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission in Pune, Dada J P Vaswani was born on August 2, 1918, at Hyderabad-Sind. Being a brilliant student, he was given a number of double promotions and thus passed the the B.S. examination when just seventeen. A masters degree and fellowship at a leading college followed and Dada seemed poised at the threshold of a brilliant academic or civil services career. It was at this stage that he gave it all up and decided to follow his uncle and guru, Sadhu T.L. Vaswani, a mystic and philosopher on the spiritual path. Reaching out to people with a message of spirituality became his life mission. As editor of Excelsior magazine, he was initially met with opposition as not everyone related to the spiritual dimension. Still, he took it upon himself to write, proof read, print, get advertisements, package and post the magazine all by himself. The publications popularity grew to the extent that it surpassed the circulation of the leading daily newspaper, The Sind Observer. Ask Dada J P Vaswani |  |
Concentration comes through practice. You must never give up. Concentration can be helped through what is called Tratak. Keep a lighted candle flame at eyelevel at a few feet distance from you. Keep on looking at it without blinking. Tears will flow out of your eyes but you must not blink. And of course, you must not watch too much of television. Television is distracting.
As much time as you can spare, you must give to chanting God’s name. In between two tasks even if you get a few moments, spend them in chanting God’s name. Chant God’s name as often as you can until it becomes a part of your subconscious and even in your dreams you will be chanting God’s name.
Physical darshan of the Guru may not me compulsory but it is very helpful.
Practice of silence and surrender to the Guru and God will help you to reach the goal.
Pray to God to give you the required motivation.
Not many can do tratak like you for 35 minutes at a stretch. I should congratulate you on this achievement. For you practice of tratak once a day is more than enough.
You can wash your eyes and do any other exercise after doing tratak.
Tratak helps in concentration. Concentration leads to meditation. Meditation coupled with the grace of the Guru and God will give you realisaton.
Pray to God and say to Him: Lord, I make silly mistakes because I forget you. Now You must come and answer the questions for me and You will make no mistakes.
In matters of choice, I believe the best is to leave it to the Lord. Pray to him, "Lord, I cannot choose for myself: You choose for me". Then, whatever be the first offer you get, accept it as God's choice for you.
