Conviction means that your entire belief has changed one<br />

hundred percent <strong>and</strong> that “I am definitely Shuddhatma” has<br />

become an established fact. Whereas the established faith of “I<br />

am Shuddhatma” can also break, conviction will never break.<br />

Faith can turn around, it can change, but conviction will not<br />

change.<br />

Conviction means say we take a stick <strong>and</strong> bury it half way<br />

in the ground. Now if a lot of pressure is applied to the stick,<br />

it may flex <strong>and</strong> bend a little; but it will not leave its location. The<br />

conviction of “I am Shuddhatma” will never go away.<br />

Experience, awareness <strong>and</strong> conviction (anubhav, laksha<br />

<strong>and</strong> pratiti respectively) will be there. Conviction will stay<br />

<strong>for</strong>ever. Awareness (laksha) will stay <strong>for</strong> some time. If we get<br />

busy in our work of business, we lose our awareness (laksha);<br />

<strong>and</strong> as we become free from work, the awareness will return.<br />

And the experience (anubhav) occurs when we are free from<br />

work, we have withdrawn from everything, <strong>and</strong> we are “sitting”<br />

alone. Then we can get the “taste” of experience. Nonetheless,<br />

the experience will keep on increasing.<br />

Experience, awareness <strong>and</strong> conviction. Conviction (pratiti)<br />

is the foundation pole. After it is established, awareness<br />

(laksha) will arise, then “I am Shuddhatma” will constantly<br />

prevail in Your awareness (laksha). Then whenever there is a<br />

little respite <strong>and</strong> You remain as the “Knower-Seer” (Gnata-<br />

Drashta) <strong>for</strong> a little while, that is the experience (anubhav).<br />
