This is part two of the adventures in Advaita Vedanta... will you travel with me a while?


Thursday Thoughts

Hari Om

Gurudev's pointers to saadhana now give the four pillars of daily practice.

Serve - without reserve. It can be as simple as lifting the bags for a parent, taking food to an elder, all the way through to carrying out your employment tasks in the mental condition of surrendering all to the Higher, even as you serve the boss.

Love - with the capital 'ell' - is not mean, or selfish, or expectant of return. It is the straightforward acceptance of all being deserving.

Purify - ensure that in carrying out your saadhana that it is done in the knowledge of burning vaasanas, lifting away from baser actions and with the intention of raising yourself ever higher, spiritually.

Meditate - meditate, meditate!
