Hari Om Sir,Greetings. Probably it is too early for me to come out with feedbacks, but a communication from me is overdue. I am enjoying repeating the N.Shadgam. The vibrations have slowly drawn me toward Dasa sloki and then onward to sloka 486 and other immediately following lines of Vivaka Choodamani. As worldly wealth or experiences have reduced their impact, contemplation upon similar trends of thought as expressed by Bhagawatpada is taking this on the right path; however the progress attained could be assessed only by a higher soul.A couple of months ago your statement that though your postings are addressed to one person, they are really meant for some other persons; the

communication gave a lot of affirmation, encouragement, strength and support. Likewise, the following lines from the current posting are very good and probably well timed. " Sometimes the

mind gets disgusted with one kind of sadhana. It wants some other kind

of sadhana. It rebels against monotony. The aspirant should know how to

coax the mind on such occasions and to extract work from it by a little

relaxation of mind. The cessation of sadhana is a grave blunder.

Spiritual practices should never be given up under any circumstances.

Evil thoughts will be waiting to enter the gates of the mental factory.

If the student of yoga

stops his sadhana, his mind will become the devil's workshop. Do not

expect anything. Be sincere and regular in your daily meditation,

routine and tapas. Do not deviate from the path you have chosen. The

fruit will come by itself. Your efforts will be surely crowned with

roaring success. It takes a long time to purify the mind and get

one-pointedness. Be cool and patient " I shall always remember to get back to you on crossing milestones. With respects to all Noble Beings, jagN
