What you explained on Dhammagiri that the real meaning of religion is in taking it in life. At that time, the thing didn't go well, but now I can say with a hundred percent guarantee that my purpose is to bring religion into my life. I'm glad I started this.
I've done a lot of drastic changes over the past 3 weeks. I have decided that I will now live a life of religion to the fullest. Started following the modesty of speech from the same moment that is almost completely intact.
1. I first stopped critics. No condemnation on any person, object or event in so many days. One day in the middle, I had slipped for 2-3 hours but then came to the track.
2. gossip is almost closed.
3. Bitter talk only 5-6 times, with mother, brother or father and apologized as soon as I got sensed in one or two sentence or changed the subject.
I become alert and shut down 4. useless things.
Guruji! Doing the above makes me feel lighter and talking to anyone I care to talk positive, not negative. Ace-two context did not lie, that too by being completely honest and avoiding half truth many times. While doing so much, whenever I remember, I was aware of the sensations. Every time I thought about unpleasant persons or events, I smiled and gave them friendship.
Even while writing this letter, I am aware of the sensitivity. I try to live in the present as many times as I remember....
Your obedience,
Rohit Kohok, Dhule.
