Developing faith through continued Sadhana!

Verse 1.15.40 (Ramana Prji):

* SP wrote in a letter in simple words, describing attachment and detachment
- when we keep ourselves in association with Krishna, then we are in proper detachment of the material world, otherwise, we are in attachment to the material world.
* BG Ch 12 verse, nirmamo nirahankara... "...is very dear to me"
* Unlimited attachments in our lives.
* We need self-realization not sense gratification.
* Krishna, our gurus made everything very clear. That mind is the cause of the both bonding's and liberation.
* Solution is mind not contemplating on the sense objects. Control the mind through practice and detachment.
* Sadhana, best is hearing - hear japa, hear lectures, hear kirtans, then is kirtanam!
* Then we will see the difference. The problem we started with was uncontrollable mind, but when the above solution is applied, automatically the problem is overcome. We just need to have faith in the words of the Lord and His pure devotees.
* Once this faith develops through continued endeavor from our side, we become dear to the Lord.
* Same is seen from Maharaj Yudhistira's life.
