The Purpose of Sadhana? [For PRadeep Kumar]

[Guest guest]

"Good question. That is what we all should do, Ask ourselves :

What is the purpose of our sadhana. What do we hope to

achieve from all these?"

 

 

It seems that the usual group of people here who promote and

justify the use of alcohol, drugs, rajasic/tamasic foods, sex, and

other worldly distractions are claiming a scriptural justification for

indulging in those practices. Because they are unable to give

those practices and their enthrallment with the things of Maya,

they employ psuedo-scriptural/religious reasons for doing so.

This has the positive effect of indulging in these practices less

and less. Using or inventing scripture/religious practice in these

circumstances is like using a nicotine patch to quit smoking.

 

These are litte albeit positive steps. By suggesting abstenence, I

am inviting you take big steps and leave those addictions and

their corrupting influence behind for good.

 

If you want to find out first hand the disadvantages of eating

meat, stop eating meat for a few months and then have just one

meal with meat in it. You will notice how heavily that meat sits in

your digestive tract, how much prana is required to digest it

instead of being used for other, better purposes, and how your

energy and thinking is dulled just by that one meal of meat. The

proof is in the pudding but first you have to give up the pudding

so that you are aware of its effects when it is eventually eaten

again.
