Two Pillars of Sadhna:
- Abhyasa (Practice): To live and grow in one’s self-nature through Abhyasa, it is essential to maintain a consistent and dedicated practice, whether it be meditation, asanas, or other spiritual exercises.
- Practising mindfulness in all actions, not just during formal practice, instilling presence in each moment.
- Remember that results may not be immediate in spiritual practices, and Cultivating Patience is itself a rewarding part of the journey.
- Practise self-compassion, acknowledging setbacks without judgement, and using them as opportunities for learning and growth.
- Vairagya (Non-attachment): Embracing Vairagya means learning to let go of the manifold desires and fears that arise in the consciousness, observing them without getting entangled.
- This detachment is not indifference or avoidance, but a serene acceptance of the impermanent nature of external circumstances and internal emotions.
- Detachment from Outcomes: To focus on the practice itself rather than being fixated on the goals; this shift of focus is the essence of non-attachment.
- Two Pillars of Sadhna: The integration of Abhyasa and Vairagya creates a balanced and dynamic approach to Sadhana, where disciplined effort and the art of letting go feed into one another.
- Dynamic Interplay: The interplay between effort and surrender is dynamic and that they should be attentive to the needs of the present moment, adjusting their approaches mindfully.
- Integrated Living: Integrate these principles into daily lives, not just during structured practice times, for a holistic transformation.
- Sadhana is a continuous learning process, where each day brings new insights and opportunities for personal evolution.
