How does one lead the divine life in a practical way? Ans : Divine life is a life based upon yoga and pervaded by the spirit of Vedanta. It is made up of selflessness, service, sadhana and self-realisation. So yoga and Vedanta form the very fabric of divine life, or the stuff out of which divine life is made, and naturally the more we know about it, the more we are reminded about the important aspects. Knowledge is necessary, yes, but the most important thing is the living of it. Divine life has to be lived in the mind and in the heart. Yoga has to be achieved here (pointing at his heart). Everything proceeds from within oneself. Whatever you are, you cannot run away from yourself. If you think that something outside yourself is an obstacle to you, you can run away from it or avoid it, but even if you run away, you take your senses, habits, your likes and dislikes and all the aspects of your mind with you. Unless one delves within and tries to understand the inner machinery, one cannot practice sadhana successfully. |
