14. Prepare a list of your personality defects
Every individual has some or the other personality defect.
Let us now see which personality defects we need to overcome and
which virtues to inculcate
Classification of the personality defects given ahead is an
approximation to enable deciding on the severity of personality
defects.
Based on the temperament and personality defects of a person, this
classification may change slightly.
16. A. Identifying mistakes
You are supposed to write the mistakes you commit during the day
in the PDR chart.
At times we use words that hurt others, at other times we are
unreasonably stubborn, etc.
Just as these acts are termed as mistakes, inappropriate thoughts,
reactions or emotions are also termed mistakes;
for example, developing hatred for someone
17. Identifying your own mistakes
While performing daily activities
if you make a firm resolve to
identify your own mistakes and
remain alert, then you will be
able to identify many mistakes.
18. Do not have a narrow-minded attitude, but try to find the extent of your
contribution in the mistake
Sometimes, people accept their mistakes; but in doing so, they tend to think
that they have contributed very little to the mistake.
Thinking in this way is harmful from the perspective of self-improvement.
Even if your contribution in the mistake is negligible, take complete
responsibility for it.
19. Seek help to identify your own mistakes
Sometimes you may fail to identify your mistakes.
Request your colleagues, relatives, siblings, and friends etc.
to make you aware of them.
Accept a mistake that is pointed out by others.
Also, accept a mistake irrespective of the manner in which it
has been pointed out to you, even in an angry tone.
20. Filling the Personality Defects chart
Prepare a Personality Defects Removal (PDR) chart for noting
mistakes in a notebook during the day as given ahead
Take a double page of the notebook facing each other
Make 3 columns on the first page and 3 more columns on the
next page
22. Other efforts required
to overcome personality defects
Make efforts for each action to be perfect & thorough
Avoid repeating mistakes
Take atonement if there is no reduction in the personality defects.
Some people keep repeating mistakes because of not being serious
about eliminating their personality defects, not having a feeling of
repentance for the mistakes, personality defects being intense etc.
At such times, taking atonement proves to be beneficial
23. Select an atonement which will be beneficial in overcoming
personality defects;
for example, if there is no sanskar (Subconscious impressions) of
keeping clothes tidily, then along with your own clothes, fold
the clothes of other people tidily as atonement.
Take atonement of doing something against your will. This will
help in creating strong awareness.
24. Inculcate virtues which are opposite to personality
defects
To overcome the personality defect of anger, the
virtue of love should be inculcated
Untidiness Tidiness
Extrovert Introvert
Arrogance Humility
25. IMPORTANCE OF PRAY
Praying : Praying is pleading at the Holy feet of God
To overcome personality defects in self, surrender unto God and pray
By obtaining God’s blessings, we are able to overcome personality
defects faster
Throughout the day, pray to God intermittently in the following
manner –
O God ! With Your grace, let me become aware of my personality
defects and let me be able to make efforts with yearning to overcome
them.
26. How to give feedback of the process of
overcoming personality defects ?
