The main practice of Qrai is to eliminate systematically certain behavioural and character flaws. The elimination of these subtle flaws should have tremendous impact on our lives and actions.
Reading a text like this one might give the illusion that the reader understands what Qrai is. But this is only superficial understanding. The deep truth of Qrai can be understood only if someone is actually practicing Qrai and achieves the Shining.
The idea of Shining cannot be expressed in words, but it is readily expressed in actions.
While the teachings of Qrai can, its truthfulness cannot be communicated in words or letters among men. There are so many fake and useless books and systems of self- improvement that words have long lost their credibility. Everyone should try himself and verify the truth of Qrai in practice.
Nonetheless, Qrai teaches that as long as the "change" appears difficult to maintain it is not the real change, and it will revert itself soon. This is because we cannot maintain excellence by continuous effort: our force has its limit. And true shining lies well beyond this limit.
How can Qrai circumvent this difficulty? If fact, in no way. Qrai does not make life easier, nor does it give any sort of magic that would diminish fear and weakness in our mind. Qrai only teaches how to act much better even if fear, anxiety, and weakness are present in the mind.
Inner weakness and anxiety are natural conditions of our human existence. It is not possible, neither desirable to get rid of them. On the other hand, we should learn that anxiety and the resulting weakness is by no means a disabling condition. Humans can think, work, and act with amazing calmness and efficiency even under strong feelings of weakness and fear. And it is just the action and its qualities that can overcome and diminish fear and weakness in the end.
At this stage, it is not even the absence of faults that is important in Qrai, but the effort to eliminate them and the experience of its difficulty.
The difficulty is to maintain this state throughout your daily chores, even when you are tired or weary, when things do not turn out as expected, or when everything works against our concentration.
It should not be only a control of your body and poise, there should be focus and efficiency in your actions, in your work, in your words.
Good focus maintains and expands itself. On the other hand, lack of focus and concentration also maintains and prolongs itself. So break it as soon as you recognize it.
Plan your journey of reading with careful ambition. Obtain rare, highly valued literary and scientific works. Read them preferably in their original language. Be not deterred by difficulties like mathematical equations or chemical compound names � regard them as riddles to solve. By solving these riddles, you gain access to faraway lands of knowledge where few can ever enter.
In Qrai, the concept of immediate action is also extended to passive qualities, like being calm and patient, avoiding bad habits, etc. These qualities should be attained immediately, without prepondering, without preparation, without any 'method', without being too much conscious about them.
There should be a deep silence behind your actions that reflect excellence. I mean, silence in your mind, in your heart. You should not think all the time of Qrai and the qualities and excellence you have achieved. Actually, you should not think of Qrai at all.
It is difficult to control our actions and habits, but it is much more difficult to control our thoughts. But this is needed for true Shining. We just think too much thoughts that are not only irrelevant and stupid but also disrupt our concentration, our work, and even destroy our happiness.
It is not easy to replace the constant tumult of these worrisome thoughts with calmness and silence. You can never do away with them once for all. But you could diminish their influence, attenuate their loudness, and somehow remove them into a soft background of your mind where they mingle with forgotten, non-sense dreams and irrelevant impressions.
You should practice this calming-of-your-mind during your daily chores, during work, during conversation with people, and not while sitting and meditating. The inner silence attained in meditation is irrelevant for Qrai.
At the upper end of the Qrai ladder of drills we come back again to Fault Control. This time it should be implemented at another level: not by struggling against faults and bad habits, but by letting them slip away as thoughts would slip and sink into silence. Then Shining within will intensify and fill the empty space of this silence.
Qrai is not a rigid system of dogmas. You can create your own version of Qrai: your own set of drills, methods, your own understanding of Shining and Silence. And if you think it worth, write your own Qrai book to transmit your system to others.
I did it.
