What is Patrata? Why is it Critical for Receiving the Grace & Boons of the Divine?

Understanding the Vedantic Principle of Patrata - Are Divine boons such as the curing of diseases, the awakening of the Kundalini or the bestowing of Shaktipath, granted by God-realized sages or by God Himself freely and unconditionally to one and all?
The answer as we shall explore in this video is no, not at all. The "Patrata" of the sadhak, i.e. his capacity to be a worthy recipient of such an act of Grace, is taken into consideration and only then are Divine boons bestowed.
So how can we sadhaks enhance our Patrata, so that we too can become deserving recipients of the Divine’s Grace? The answer to this question in this video.

Greatly appreciate your efforts 👍🏼! Here's what I have come to realize in my Spiritual Journey: It isn't a question of who deserves Patrata or if we deserve Patrata. In fact, the ultimate Truth is that we all deserve Divine Grace because we all have emerged from the Divine Source. What matters is from what space of our 'beingness' are we asking for the Divine Grace. Looking after our own well-being and learning to self-love are one of the primary Soul lessons we have come here to learn. After all, one cannot pour from an empty cup. And one cannot preach Spirituality to a starving man. Change is the only constant. And this is not something that is only applicable to 🌎. A lot has also changed in the Universe. Many things that have been mentioned in our holy scriptures no longer functions the way it has been interpreted. The Source is one of love, not of condemnation. 💜 and 🕯️. ParamShanti 🙏🏼

Ur knowledge is huge

[@preetis9776]

Thank you for the videos. If Boons are only given when it's ensured they'll be helpful to a seeker and not misused why were boons granted to people like Bhasmasura, HiranyaKashipu etc? Another thing is: Sequence of ripening of karma makes a big difference in the state of the world (if sinners get the phala of their good karma when good people are getting the phala of their bad karma, then overall sinners will reign-- >state of the world makes a big difference in how much easier it is to spiritually progress-- > this timing of ripening of karma is critical- it seems God controls this- it seems like this restricts our free will. what can we do if God decides the timings of these things? Q3. Why did God create maya- which is not easy to cross over ,which causes us so much trouble, and why are we made with sense organs so susceptible to sense pleasures? It seems like a cruel joke to hide our true nature from us and make us struggle for several lifetimes/ need luck and help of a Guru to find our true nature again.

[@venkateshbhaii2639]

[@bs3230]

Do you have in hindi too.

[@DrSITANSHU]

Didi do you know any god realised person living today in India??

[@IndianTreasuryofWisdom]

Instead of Saying Divine Grace and Spiritual Powers, why can't we describe it as Vedic Wisdom or Spiritual Wisdom, Knowledge of Vedas, Teachings, Patrata is required for Gaining Knowledge and Wisdom, why to over emphasise the beautiful concept by relating it to something magical or special powers of the Gurus?, E.g in case of Swami Vivekananda instead of speaking about transfer of Powers why can't we say transfer of the Wisdom and Understanding of the Vedanta

[@Spiritualbee]

Divine Grace (or Kripa as it is called in Hindi) comes from God and from God-realized gurus. Its not wisdom at all. Grace or Kripa is very much different from intellectual knowledge. So we can't use the term Vedic wisdom for it. Grace comes from a very high spiritual plane, much above the mind. Intellectual knowledge and wisdom are all lower things which belong to the plane of the mind. The Divine lies above the mental plane. Gaining intellectual knowledge is NOT enough to attain God-realization. For that one needs experience of the ATman, the soul. A guru who has attained this goal can make the path of the disciple easier by transmitting spiritual powers (such as the guru's prana shakti which helps give the disciple a force to control his mind).

[@IndianTreasuryofWisdom]

The Spiritual Bee If realisation of the Atman and Soul brings us closer to God then why this Kripa or Grace has to come from 'God Realised Gurus' or an External God, why do we believe God is based in some External Field, Why we cannot believe that Everything is God, this entire Existence is God, God is Omnipresent and to Realise the Power we need to Meditate and realise Atman, after all it is all Belief which Drives a Human towards Spiritualism, a approach should be Direct or it should be through Imagination of something superficial is one's choice, anyways Thank you for your Reply! I welcome your Thoughts

[@Spiritualbee]

Indian Treasury of Wisdom till we exist within maya (the world of duality) god is both inside and outside. Outside god and god realized gurus only help us reach the inside god that dwells in our soul. Once we transcend maya (space time and causation) then we can experience all is one existence. There is no longer any inside god or outside god. It is all 1 existence.

[@riteshtiwari731]

Volume is low.

[@DrSITANSHU]

Pulkit didi I am a medical student after 1 year I will become a doctor . My questions is if an alcohic person with liver cirrhosis comes to me for treatment should I treat him or not??

[@Spiritualbee]

Sitanshu, We can't equate ourselves with the Rishi's who have an inner vision to determine whether a person deserves the Grace or not. Besides a Rishi who cures a person usually takes on their bad karma upon themselves. We of course can't do such a thing. So we cannot copy their actions. Thus if you are a doctor then it is absolutely critical that you do your best to treat your patients. That is your duty (dharma).

[@achintyabiswas5388]

If any body wants mokhsa or liberation from birth and death he or she must have no worldly desire and at the time of death he should think of Shree Ramakrishna or any other God

[@achintyabiswas5388]

It is not my opinion I have gathered it from various sources
