A real practice eventually becomes an unceasing application of the learned principles in moment to moment life. Consider these words from the Bhagavad Gita: 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue">8:7. Therefore, at all times, constantly remember Me and fight. With your mind and understanding absorbed in Me, you will surely come to Me. 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue"> 12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:blue">8:8. Engaged in the yoga of constant practice and not allowing the mind to wander away to anything else, he who meditates on the supreme, resplendent Purusha reaches Him, O son of Pritha.
