Hari OM
It is unavoidable that we must make a practical programme for our spiritual development. This does not mean a mechanical routine or a dry sadhana of japa, study, prayers or meditation. These are, of course, to be diligently pursued, but the progress depends not upon the quantity of sadhana practised, but upon the quality of the bosom which we offer for the sadhana.
Unless our motives and intentions, our urges and impulses are pure, sattvika and clean, there can be no progress at all. This is the tragedy of the many. We must not fall prey to this sad calamity in our spiritual life.
The highest goal of us, as seekers, must be to unfurl in us the entire beauty, strength, grace and glory of the Spirit. In the total symmetry of personality alone, the spiritual glow can come to kindle the flame of joy within us.
Therefore we must put all our efforts to live physically a well-controlled life of love and service, emotionally a quiet life, intellectually a life of higher ideals and nobler purposes.
As we grow, we shall get initiated, by itself, into the ampler fields of greater power and glories.
