The allure of godmen exists even for sincere aspirants.

The allure of godmen exists even for sincere aspirants.

The lure of instant attainment of dramatic experiences such as cosmic Consciousness without effort.

So many pay money to this Svami or the other in the hopes of gaining that person's grace.

But remember kRtopAsaka and akRtopAsaka. If upAsana has been kRta (devotion has been previously performed to the Lord), then one can have such dramatic experiences on one's own without any godmen.

How to fight and always win?

How to fight (i.e. engage with external world) and always win?

Become indifferent to either outcome or see good in either outcome.

Same idea in the BG

hato vA prApsyasi svargam  jitvA vA bhokshyase mahIm.

Dying you will attain heaven, or victorious you will enjoy on this earth.

This yoga resulting from vicAra leads to invincibility, fearlessness and absence of sorrow.

Fear and sorrow arise only from unpleasantness to the senses or ego.

Changeability of mind's attitude towards same object from rAga to dvesha should be noted. It passes, because the mind changes. It is never either always positive or always negative towards objects in the world. But it can be made always unmoved by rAga or dvesha.  

Slow down the reaction to new thoughts

Slow down the reaction to new thoughts so as to reach the ultimate non-reaction: parA vairAgyam. Indifference to the guNas themselves.

Once the mind becomes aware of its fallibility...

Once the mind becomes aware of its fallibility and ceases to be convinced of its doership and always being right, then we'd like others to know we always love them regardless of how they may perceive our actions.

So first we must accept that others love us in spite of how we may perceive their actions towards us: as loving or otherwise.

Same sentiment expressed in:
"Forgive us our trespasses etc"

As naciketa says to Yama, the contact of senses with objects depletes or weakens prANa.

As naciketa says to Yama, the contact of senses with objects depletes or weakens prANa. Even hiraNyagarbha gets weakened eventually and pralaya ensues but one's true nature is even beyond that. Hence to become indifferent to even nivRtti and pravRtti.

Difficult to understand mind of a jnAni and his actions.

Difficult to understand mind of a jnAni and his actions. So also with mind of God. They are after all the same. So to the extent one doesn't understand the play of the world and its purpose for bhoga apavargArtham (experience and liberation)  stemming from remaining ignorance in the mind, to the same extent one cannot understand the minds of jnAnis.  

Devis grace may hold certain karmas from clearing too quickly.

Devis grace may hold certain karmas from clearing too quickly. Patience! The potter's wheel is not brought to rest all at once. The Law of Inertia holds in other ways too.
