We can see two sets of people.The preachers and practitioners.Preachers after studying certain books preach the same to others without bothering much abt practicing by themselves what they preach.The practioner while doing his practice though occasionally preach never bothered abt that by in his own practice of spiritual discipline.For attaining prefection in the spiritual path practice is the sine qua non and without that the efforts of a person to progress in the spiritual will not lead him anywhere.Of course preaching is also good but by doing the same the preachers make the subject as one of making money and hence try to make the same as business.Not all.But majority of them are as we can see the preachers of all religions from experience.

 

Spiritual domain is not a thing which can be wade thru by studying some books but only thru ardent devotion,dedication and practice only the goal can be achieved.This has been the experience of eversomany saints and others interested in lifting one upwards in the spiritual path.Then what prevents from practicing the tenets that are required to improve people?The first is faulty world view-generally people are under the impression if the world is ok everything will be ok.How to make or achieve this goal?Is it by discourses or sermons to masses who just forget when once the preachers finish their part and left their places.So such things can't make the world all right.Secondly

the extrovert mind plays another important part.People in general give preference to outward sensory things which give them pleasures of the world forgetting they have their own inner minds which if developed in a systemmati

way will give them greater bliss than what they think of and for attaining this blissful state practice of spiritual discipline is required.Thirdly people in general are not willing to pay the price for their efforts.Here the price is not in monetary form but by severe and hard efforts and the willingness to achieve their goal which is basically to realise the Paramatma within themselves.We are prepared to pay a good amount for many things that are mundane but not willing to pay some efforts to raise the inner mind that will give greater joy and bliss.Then come laziness.A lazy person can never expect to succeed in the spiritual realm just like the material world.What is required is a complete involvement of the cause with devotion and an earnest desire to dive deep into the realm of spirit which can give a person manyfold benefits.Again for all these there must be perfection which is so essential.A sculptor chisels the stone by hitting the same hard and hard without sleep,food

etc till he is able to create the Deity he has in his mind.A good player or a good musician or any person in any art achieve his/her success not just by some magic but by proper dedication to the particular field he/she has chosen.Lawrels and awards come to them not overnight but due to their perfection in the art they hv followed by practicing over several years of the field they hv chosen.Just in the same way spiritual perfection also can be achieved only by proper meditation,mental discipline,self control, and by this way the person can be able to realise the Ishta Devata he/she has chosen.

 

Once Beethoven was asked by a lady that if God was kind enough to give the same talent to her she also could hv achieved greatness like him and for that he said the achievement he has made was not due to any magic but by spending eight hours a day of practicing in his piano for forty years and if the lady also could hv done the same she also could hv achieved his position.The great artists in music,dance,play etc hv not achieved their merit in a day or two but over years of rigorous practice and dedication to the art they hv chosen.The same theory applies in the spiritual field also and what is required is the willingness on the part of the aspirant to elevate himself in the field without forgetting the worldly duties as both are inter related as development of spiritual faculties does not mean running away from the world but to give more importance to the spirit than the worldly pleasures.Spiritual practice looses our inner fatters.The practice shuld be accompanied by

dispassion.

Practice means doing and dispassion means cleaning the obstacles.Practice without dispassion won't hv any effect as they go hand in hand.If the same is done properly that will lead the aspitrants speedily,safely and surely to his/her cherished goal of establishing contact with his/her ideal over a period of years.

Hare krishna,

 

'Spiritual practice' enables a man to lead a meaningful life. A

person having 'ethics' is bound to lead a respectful life. The

Supreme God Krishna is omnipotent and omniscient. He does not need

any type of favour from any one. If a man performs spiritual

practice, it is for his own benefit. By promoting spirituality among

others, he is fulfilling his obligations to the society.

 

Divine grace is vital for success. A person has to do internal

cleaning on a daily basis by cahnting Krishna's names to enable the

smooth functioning of 'Paramatma' situated within his heart. Once

the 'Paramatma' starts functioning , the Spirituality becomes lively.

Divine grace can be seen on each action of that person and he is an

asset to the society.

 

India is not a mere piece of land. 'Spirituality' is the 'life air'

of this divine nation. Unfortunately, in this devilish 'kali-yugam'

demonic Political Leaders have replaced 'Spirituality'

by 'Secualrism'(Irreligion). This change is the root cause for all

the evils being faced by India.

 

Let us all join together to spread Krishna-bhakti to as many people

as possible. This is the best offering to our beloved Lord Sri

Krishna.

 

OM NAMO NARAYANAYA !!!

 

Krishnan
