                                                           STEP THIRTEEN                               ISTA GENERALLY MEANS DESIRED. ISHTA-DEVATA IS THE DEITY OF THE FORM OF GOD YOU GENERALLY PRAY TO. YOUR CURRENT SADHANA MAY WELL TO BE INVOKE YOUR ISHTA OR IT MAY BE TO ATTAIN MANTRA SIDDHI OR SOME OTHER DIVINE ENTITY. FOR EXAMPLE, ON YOUR USUAL DAYS YOU MAY BE PRAYING TO KRISHNA, ETC., BUT NOW YOU ARE TRYING TO INVOKE GODDESS GAYATRI. IN THIS CASE,  YOUR ISTA IS KRISHNA, WHEREAS THE DEITY OF YOUR MANTRA IS GAYATRI, BEFORE YOU CAN AWAKEN THE MANTRA OF YOUR DEITY, AN ASPIRANT IS REQUIRED TO MEDITATE ON HIS ISHTA-DEVATA AS WELL. IF, HOWEVER, THE DEITY YOU ARE TRYING TO INVOKE IS YOUR ISHTA-DEVATA, SIMPLY MEDITATE ON THE FORM OF YOUR ISHTA.                            YOUR ISHTA-DEVATA COULD BE ANY GOD, GODDESS FROM ANY RELIGION FOR THAT MATTER. RELIGION IS NOT IMPORTANT IN SADHANA, FOR SADHANA IS A RELIGION IN ITS OWN RIGHT. IF YOU PRAY TO A SPECIFIC GOD, PRAY TO THAT DEITY NOW OR SIMPLY

                                                  DREAMS WITH BEAUTY                         TALKS BETWEEN SATYAKAM AND KAPALAK NOW LINGERED MOSTLY ON BHAIRAVI. AS SOON AS SATYAKAM AS SATYAKAM RETUREND FROM SEEING HER, KAPALAK WOULD ASK HIM ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE. SATYAKAM GREW ENTHUSIASTIC AS HE TALKED LESS ABOUT NADA. YOGA AND MORE ABOUT HIS DIALOGUES WITH BHAIRAVI. KAPALAK HARDLY CHASTENED HIM, AS IF THIS WERE BOUND TO HAPPEN AND HIS TRAINING WITH SATYAKAM HAD THUS ENDED.                       THE ATTRACTION BETWEEN SATYAKAM AND BHAIRAVI NO LONGER REMAINDED A SECRET. MANY PONDERED THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF IT. HOWEVER, NONE HAD THE COURAGE TO OBJECT OPENLY OR TO PRY INTO IT FURTHER. THE WHOLE DRAMA SEEMED THE PRODUCT OF A DIVINE DECREE, AND SLOWLY PEOPLE BEGAN TO TAKE IT QUITE EASILY AND NATURALLY, REGARDING THE COUPLE AS A PART OF THEIR COMPANY. SOME PEOPLE, OF COURSE, CAME TO RESENT ALL THIS, THEY GOSSIPED A LOT AND KEPT AWAY. THE OVERALL RUSH OF PEOPLE TO VISIT BHARAVI  REMAINDED MORE

SANKALPA IS DONE ONLY ONCE ON THE FIRST DAY WHEREAS VINIYAGA IS DONE EVERY DAY THROUGHOUT YOUR PURUSHCHARNA. HERE'S THE MANTRA FOR GAYATRI VINIYOGA:                             SAPTAVYAHRATINAM HAMADAGNI, BHARADVAJA, ATRI-GAUTAMA,                             KASYAPA, VISVAMITRA, VASISTHA RSHAYAH,                            GAYATRYUSNIGANUSTUBBRHATI-PAMK                            TISTRISTUBJAGATYASCHANDADAMSI,                             AGNI-VAYU-SURYA-BRHSPATI-VARUNENDRA-VISVEDEVA DEVATAH,                             SARVAPAPAKSAYARTE JAPE VINIYOGAH.                         NOW DON'T BE ALARMED - YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHANT IT. THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO DO IT! TAKE WATER IN YOUR PLAN AND SAY, O THE SAGES WHO HAVE EXISTED BEFORE ME WHO HAVE INVOKED VEDMATA GAYAYRI, I AM CHANTING THIS TO PURGE MYSELF OF ALL THE

                                                MASTER MIND PRINCIPLE                                 HILL : MR. CARNEGIE, WE NOW COME TO THE SECOND OF THESE PRINCIPLES, WHICH YOU HAVE NAMED THE MASTER MIND. WILL YOU PLEASE DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THE TERM "MASTER MIND" SO THAT WE WILL ALL HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF IT?                               CARNEGIE : THE MASTER MIND IS "AN ALLIANCE OF TWO OR MORE MINDS, WORKIN TOGETHER IN THE SPIRIT OF PERFECT HARMONY, FOR THE ATTACHEMENT OF A DEFINITE PURPOSE".                              HILL : DO YOU MEAN TO SAY, MR.CARNEGIE, THAT THE MERE CHOICE OF A MAJOR  PURPOSE IN LIFE IS NOT, OF ITSELF, ENOUGH TO INSURE SUCCESS?                             CARNEGIE : TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECT OF ONE'S MAJOR GOAL, IF IT BE OF PROPORTIONS ABOVE MEDIOCRITY, ONE MUST SO RELATE HIMSELF TO THE MEMBERS OF THEIR BRAINS, IN A SPIRIT OF HARMONY! FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF HARMONY AND SYMPATHY OF PURPOSE IN THE MIND OF EVE

                                     CONSCIOUS AND SUBCONSCIOUS MIND                          HIILL : IS THAT THE WAY ONE CONNECTS THE CONSCIOUS MIND WITH SUBCONSCIOUS , MR.CARNEGIE?                       CARNEGIE : YES, THAT IS THE SIMPLEST KNOWN METHOD. YOU SEE, THEREFORE, WHY I HAVE EMPHASIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF INTENSIFYING ONE'S DESIRES UNTIL THEY BECOME OBSESSIONAL. A DEEP, BURNING DESIRE IS PICKED UP BY THE SUBCONSCIOUS AND ACTED UPON MUCH MORE DEFINITELY AND QUICKLY THAN AN ORDINARY DESIRE. A MERE WISH APPEAR TO MAKE TO IMPRESSION ON THE SUBCONSCIOUS! MANY PEOPLE BECOME CONFUSED US TO THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WISH AND A BURNING DESIRE WHICH HAS BEEN STIMULATED INTO OBSESSIONAL PROPORTIONS BY THE REPETITION OF THOUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THE DESIRE.                      HILL : IF I INDERSTAND YOU CORRECTLY, MR.CARNEGIE, THE ELEMENT OF REPETITION IS IMPORTANT. WHY?                    CARNEGIE : BECAUSE REPETITION OF THOUGHT CREATES THOUGHT. HABITS IN THE MIND WHICH CAUSE  THE M

                                                                          ENLIGHTENMENT SPRING WITH HIMALAYA'S                            THE COMMON PEOPLE KEPT ASKING SATYANANDA QUESTIONS. AND WHILE HE WAS STILL REPLYING, SOME COULD NOT HELP TALKING STIMULTANEOUSLY, HARDLY LISTENING TO HIM. AT ONE POINT HE SAID, IT IS BETTER TO OPEN YOUR EARS AND CLOSE YOUR MOUTHS INSTEAD OF VICE VERSA. VANITY FRUSTRATES THE FULFILLMENT OF YOUR WILL. TRUTH CANNOT BE IMPARTED TO THOSE WHO DO NOT LISTEN. TO DISCOVER THE VAST UNKNOWN DEPTHS OF GOD, SILENCE IS IMPERATIVE. HOW ELSE WOULD YOU ACHIEVE THE JOY WHICH YOU ARE CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONCIOUSLY SEEKING?                         QUIET DESCENDED ON THE CROWD LIKE A DOVE. SATYANANDA STAYED THERE FOR A QUITE A NUMBER OF DAYS SHARING INTIMATE DIALOGUE AND COMMUNICATION WITH THE YOGIS. HE INITIATED TWO OF THEM AS HIS NEW DISCIPLES, RENAMING THEM SHRADHAVAN, AND NISHTHAVAN.                         THEREAFTER, ACCOMPANIED BY HIS SIX DISCIPLES, HE MOVED WITH
