Therefore, it is easy to categorize in one of three departments just where the impulses are coming from that cause our motivations. Number one: the instinctive impulses are from us and from others, and mainly concern our body and baser emotions. These are easy to distinguish, as these impulses provide most of the daily activities. Number two: the impulse to speak and to think, begun through one\u2019s own efforts or those of another. This is generally based on recurring knowledge accumulated in the past, churned up through present observations and conjecture about the future. This is also easy to distinguish, as these impulses generally fill any gaps that the instinctive impulses have made in a typical day. We can easily see that unless some break occurs, there is absolutely no room for number three, which is simply for \u015aiva\u2019s will to occur. <br><br>Therefore, the process is one of breaking up the patterns of instinct and intellect, separating the impulses of them both, through regular and regulated periods of s\u0101dhana and meditation, so that the divine will, spiritual energy and infinite awareness can filter in and cause a new intellect to form. Beginning the s\u0101dhana, and the continued practice, is the first sign that \u015aiva\u2019s will is being done in the aspirant\u2019s life. New energy abides within him because of the transmutation from the base to the Divine. New knowledge comes forth from within him as he builds upon it through remembering his accumulated inner experiences as if they occurred but a moment ago. <br><br>Should you wish to separate number one from number two and experience the dominance of number three, \u015aiva\u2019s will, simply begin to say to yourself, \u201c\u015aiva\u2019s will be done,\u201d throughout each day as the occasions arise. Be careful to categorize each impulse, so that it is clear to your intellect which category you are aware in, just as by being more aware of the Sun than the Earth you begin to forget the Earth and come to know the Sun. \u015aiva\u2019s will is being done always. By being more aware of the inner processes and impulses of willpower than the outer configurations of other people, their thoughts and feelings, you will soon live in the world contentedly and come to know the \u015ai, the Absolute Self beyond all form, time and causation, and the Va, the All-Pervading Self, as actinic energy permeating all form, and you will rest blissfully in this new knowledge on your new intellectual threshold. \u201c\u015aiva\u2019s will be done\u201d\u2014the first s\u0101dhana on the path. \u201c\u015aiva\u2019s will be done\u201d\u2014the last s\u0101dhana on the path, after all others have been perfected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NANDINATHA S\u016aTRA 110: THE FIRST STEP OF RENUNCIATION<br>\u015aiva\u2019s young men devotees inclined to throw down the world and enter the monastery should read and accept the Holy Orders of Sanny\u0101sa and adjust themselves to its ideals before requesting training.
