"Those people who take life seriously and start doing spiritual sadhana * often face some daunting challenges and experiences that at first, tend to discourage the applicant (sadhaka). These are common in the majority and, therefore, it is important to know clearly the methods to combat them.
The first is this: the candidate begins his spiritual life with preconceived ideas about sadhana, but the reality is often different from the idea of \u200b\u200bher. One discovers that there are many things that are completely disinter the idea which had formed. The ideas that seem real now, later it is contradictory. All preconceived notions are suddenly shaken. Often, newcomers are unable to accept the unexpected points of view and generally returned to their former life.
This is the biggest mistake you can make. A jewel is despised. A unique opportunity is missed. Continue one's mind is more sensual with the same habits as before. What happens is that the applicant is rooted in their old concepts. His ego clings to them.
disappointment and discouragement at the beginning of spiritual life is a serious obstacle. The ability and desire to do sadhana decreases. Lose the courage and will feel uncomfortable with the spiritual life. The Sadhana should be done with genuine enthusiasm and joy.
Practice exercises with an open mind. Liberate the result of preconceived ideas of your own selfishness. Come closer to spiritual things with an open mind and eager to learn. Prepare to adapt to them rather than expect them to suit your ideas.
If not, start on the wrong foot the spiritual life. Discouraged and will cost you over it.
When you do sadhana and have to live a spiritual life, the mind begins to worry about family problems and you think you're missing your obligations. You start to doubt and waver. This is compounded by the opposition of friends and family to the spiritual life.
Mind is Maya. Your job is to keep the man in one way or another. experience the reality. Inenta is what we always hide the truth. You must be, therefore, always alert and vigilant.
The moment you decide to start on the road, the mind created ideas of duty, responsibility, more important things to do, etc.. that had not had you worried. Stay Alert! have certain duties on certain occasions.
But do sadhana for attaining realization is the most important and urgent duty that must be present in your life until the last minute. You can not afford to postpone, or delegate for a single minute. LET ENTERING THIS IDEA IN YOUR MIND. Do not hesitate. Begin to make your practices and systematically from the time you read this sentence.
Now, stop reading and sit quietly, relaxed, eyes closed, back straight. Think about the lofty goal of human life and understand how important your daily practices. Go ahead with determination and energy. Fix your mind once and for all into the ideal you want to achieve.
When taking the decision and begin your sadhana regularly, you may have to face a series of problems and difficulties that you did not have before. At first you will find obstacles at all times. You thought everything that happens to have started to do sadhana and were much better before. Do not get discouraged. There is a reason for it. Sadhana implies certain restrictions.
Until now you had not objected to what they wanted the senses. Now start a disciplined way both internally and externally. This means conflict with your obstinate and unruly sensual impressions. When you fight them you start to feel their strength as before seemed lethargic. When these costs weigh it down all seems wonderful and friendly. When you turn around and try to climb the hill, I realize how hard it is tired.
This is what happens when start doing sadhana sincerely, it is an uphill climb. Is a continuous struggle against the entrenched current trends, personality and habits that have developed in the past. Means go back up what I had left on the way down sharply towards the worldly life. At first you're not used to this effort. This accumulation of difficulties confuse and intimidate you for a while. This is normal. Do not you worry! Bear it with fortitude. These difficulties arise at the beginning. Soon disappear. You'll get strength every day.
espiriual On the way some pain produced many gains. He who makes a small sacrifice has ensured its success. Until now, the beginner moved into a small circle, sacrifice something to get too finite a finite thing. Now start the straight and glorious things finite sacrifices for that which is eternal and infinite.
Begins Spiritual path (sadhana marga ) with an open mind and free of all prejudices, I fully aware of the duty to support your practice and quiet and happily all initial tests. Attain eternal life, Peace and Bliss Absolute!
Sivananda
