Sadhaka : Swamiji! Will you please give some practical hints on the yogic way of life? Gurudev : Yoga is an exact science. It is a perfect (and) practical system of self-culture. It is the discipline of the mind, senses and physical body. Moral purity and spiritual aspirations are the first steps in the path of Yoga. Yoga is a system of integral education. Education not only for the body and the mind or intellect, but also of the inner spirit. Swamiji : Yoga is not for 'knowing' but it is for 'being and doing'. It is moving towards the Eternal. Beloved Atman! Live your life in such a way that all the movements and activities of your life may constitute an upward and Godward process culminating in the fullest unfoldment of your Divine Consciousness. The Yoga approach and attitude (bhava) need to be adopted in each and every sphere of your life as well. Therefore, take up the earnest practice of Yoga right from this very moment. Fix your entire mind upon the One ever-perfect Divine Reality. Fill your heart with Divine love for God. Aspire and adore Him alone. Remember God constantly. Engage in the selfless service of all beings. Dedicate all activities to God. In this manner spiritualise all your normal activities. Herein is the guarantee of true happiness and peace even while dwelling in this body upon this earth. Look within. Within is peace, bliss, all-light, all-fullness. This incomparable Bliss is within the reach of every single human being. It is your heritage from your Divine origin. You are all from that perennial Source of infinite Bliss, which people call God. Know that It is right here within you. It requires nothing to attain, only willingness on your part to give away that which is petty. Every one of you can possess this supreme Experience of all-fullness, all-joy and peace right now, right here. |
