IN QUEST OF BEING
Curiosity about life, is the starting point, Each sadhak must ask himself, "Who am I?" And ask it forever, with no answer satisfied, Till discontent itself leads him on to the way. The path being found, rules and restraint
useful prove, Like the ground being levelled before
the seed is sown!
Q. For integrated development, it is necessary for an
individual to be introvertive. For introversion, emphasis is laid on the practice of meditation. The experiences of various sadhaks are different. Some achieve a good state of mind very soon, others get lost in confusion. How should a sadhak start his sadhana?
Ans. Even when impelled by an inner urge to under
- take sadhana, many people cannot determine how to go about it. When? And where? Until the starting point is clear, there cannot be any systematic progress in this field. From the viewpoint of organisation, it is necessary to acquire deep knowledge of the subject. In order
