(Body gets cleansed by taking bath with water and mind is purified by contemplating on the Sat (the everlasting truth). The self (atman) is purified by remembering lord Shiva and foolishness is removed by acquiring knowledge. )
In order to do Yog-sadhana (spiritual
practice) there should be a lonely place with
a pure (clean and serene) surrounding environment. For
practicing spirituality make your life pure and
pious. Understand how to sit, stand and speak.
Speak little but slowly, sweetly in a low tone.
Whatever you want to say, say it in fewer words.
Eat less,
sleep less and lead a life with tolerance and contentment. Do not trouble others
for the sake of your self-interest. Always remain happy within your self. Practice
your sadhana regularly at a fixed time. Do not give up your Ishta (personal
god) and principles of life. Do asanas, exercises and travels. Take suitable
simple pure vegetarian food as per your body requirements. Do not eat dried mango
parings, sourly, smarting and pungent stuff. Lead a balanced life with subdued
passions and controlled celibacy. Avoid speaking ill of others and envy. Do not
hoard more than your requirements. Love all but do not get bond aged in attachment.
Have tolerance, forgiveness, kindness and contentment. Do contemplation on pure
Conscious Godhood, maintain firm belief and faith on the words of guru and love
him. |
