Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 " Spiritual practice for the Beginners " by Swami Ashokananda It will be better if you pay heed to what I am saying: In your spiritual life do not expect a well-organised scheme. I may tell you, " Have faith in yourself. Infinite strength is within yourself. " Then I tell you, " Pray to the Lord to guide you. " You might say, " These two things are contradictory. I can take one or I can take the other. I cannot take both. " I don't believe that. You can accept both; but you don't have to organise them into a united whole. As long as each is true of your being, you can practise one or the other according to your mood and according to the situation. You see you do not have full control over circumstances nor over your own mind or senses or energies; therefore you pray to the Lord, " Guide me rightly " . It is quite legitimate...... Commentary: Such 'unpolarised practical advice' is difficult to find - only a person who has used such techniques successfully can come up with such lovely unified approach.....
