To: Keerti (and Everyone reading this)
Your experience is no new. When you try to conquer maya, then maya tries to conquer you. As you yourself said that you practice positive Swamaan (affirmations) and having positive thoughts. By doing this, you have challenged maya. You know, that present world is conquered by maya.
Who is this maya? What is it?
Answer:
Maya is your own 5 vices that are deep hidden and are emerged with time to time. You must understand this - When you come across some situation, then your sanskar lets say anger suddenly is emerged. So what is happening here? Actually, this is a signal that you have not yet conquered the anger.
So a wise soul like you should immediately do Purusharth to end this weakness. Which is the weakness of soul?
Answer:
Body consciousness is the weakness. When we look our self or think ourself as a body, then vices are emerged. Because as explained, all 5 vices are connected with this body consciousness only. No body, then no lust, then no anger or greed or attachment. Then there is complete knowledge of the self.
You are a soul - mightest of the mighty soul - you have forgotten yourself? You are a master of your body and senses.
Baba explains that body is given to do Karma which represents us as who and how we are. Let's say a soul has a deep desire to heal people. So as to become a doctor. Then that soul will take his next birth in a family of doctors OR in a family where such freedom is given. This is an example. So, al souls takes birth according to their wish and sanskar of previous life.

HOW TO CHANGE SANSKAR ?
Only one way. Understand point by point:
1. Present stage of world is kaliyug (iron age)
2. We were like GOLD in the golden age (Satyug)
3. In that golden stage, gradually we added impurity. So the gold change to Silver, then copper and now iron.
Do you know how we can improve the quality of Gold?
Answer:
By heat. Heat up the gold and then remove the impurity (alloy) and you will see the elements are merged into elements and 24 carat gold is made.
Similarly, with the power of RajYog (Yog = fire), putting all our past old sanskars in this fire, we are re-created a new)
