Guest guest Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 BE SPIRITUAL IN EVERYTHING YOU DO: Meditation and yoga are necessary, but by themselves they do not constitute spiritual practice. You need toremain spiritually alert in whatever you do throughout the day. A man who stayed in our camp recently was very religious. With great faith he would practise meditation and silence for four to five hours daily. But he was indifferent to good behaviouir. As a result, his family members were angry with him. His behaviouir m ade them shun religion. A man cannot be spiritual if his practice turns others away from it. It is pointless to believe in the possibilities of meditation, if your life is devoid of humane behaviour. Fasting, meditation and observance of silence are only means. The success of spiritual practice will be in proportion to diminution of distance between means and ends. Remaining silent in anger is not really silence. A sulking person went and sat down in a corner. He refused to eat. Should we call it fasting?
