External diversities mean the material world and internal diversities mean antaḥkaraṇa. Names and forms mean different beings, etc. Controlling the mind is important in Self-realization. Mind by nature, goes out seeks material desires and attachments. We have to withdraw our attention from the material world and fix it on the Self within. While withdrawing our awareness, both material world and antaḥkaraṇa are involved, as we are attached to the material world only through our antaḥkaraṇa (mind, intellect and ego). Fear is inherent nature of any being. Even though, one is realized, still he is bound to have fear on seeing a hungry lion before him. The human mind is always active. This fear comes, only when the realization is not total and affirmation of "I am That" is not total. As long as duality prevails, fear will be there. That is why it is said that you have to be with Brahman without any fear, which means that your affirmation is total.

IS vikṣepa shakthi found in the panchakosha or is it that the panchakosha's are arised out of viksepa shakthi, meaning vikshepa shakthi is the cause of pancha kosha, hence when you say that we have to destroy vikshepa shakthi in article 10, it means that we should have control over pancha kosha's by disciplined living

Can you please explain what do you mean by "you have to destroy all internal and external diversities; make all the names and forms merge into your Self. " What is this diversity that is spoken about and does names and forms refer to different names for gods and goddesses that we have now? How does the inherent fear arise when a person is convinced the Self is within, what type of fear is this? Does it create doubt in the persons mind? Secondly it is said that we should have belief on steadfastness of Brahman, so here absolute faith is necessary for sometime which we have not yet experienced and dont know whether it exists?

Yes, you can, provided the temple authorities do no object to this.

There is no individual soul and everything is Self only. Yes you are right.

then there should not be any individual soul, as every thing is Self as this body is just a super imposition on the Self. Is this the right logic?

There is no difference between the Self and the individual soul. Both are same. The same ego which considers body as the Self, also considers the Self within as individual soul, which is not the fact. Ego interacts with mind and buddhi to consider individual soul as not the Self.

DNA is scientific explanation of karma. But let us not confuse. Karma is the imprints of our various births. When we are disdained to undergo illness like diabetes, it will be there in our karmic imprint, which will manifest at a fixed time. Ramana Maharishi's life is a typical example for this.
