 Sadhana's Greatest Reward: Success  |
The greatest reward of doing Sadhana is that the person becomes incapable of being defeated. Sadhana is a self-victory, and it is a victory over time and space. When you get up for Sadhana, you defeat a part of yourself because you don’t want to get up. Getting up is a victory over time, and doing it is a victory over space. That is what Sadhana is. Sadhana is only for you - it is a self-victory. Sadhana is not a matter of advantages and disadvantages. It is simply a means through which you can defeat all your miseries, misfortunes and handicaps. It is a very personal thing which does not relate to anybody but yourself.”
"The radiance of your spirit can be measured according to how the name of God vibrates within you and around you. If your sadhana is perfect, your spirit will be high. If you have forgotten to chant the name of God, you will be in the doldrums. If you become low and depressed, it is only because you have not warmed up your machine in the morning; you have not done your spiritual practice. Your mind has found the zero point through working the belt of meditation. And if the mortal does not work the belt of meditation, then the electricity is not produced, and the generator does not work. The mortal must work the mind, the mind must become zero, and it must create the experience of Infinity within you. In the Western world where there is such a crisscross of mental thought patterns, you must find a way to bring your mind under control. You must learn to bring the level of yourself to zero, whenever you like. This is the practice of sadhana. ~Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan)
