Disciple : What are you doing, sitting by the riverside Sir?
Master : I am waiting for the river to finish flowing so I can get across the river.
Disciple : But sir, if you wait for the river to finish flowing, you will have to keep on waiting.
Master : This is exactly what I have been trying to make understand all those who always tell that they will start Sadhana and Seva once their life’s responsibilities are over.
It depends on our priority, not on time
A nice story. Not written by me
Sadhana is a word used by some. Sometimes they use it to refer to meditation and other times a general word encompassing prayers, bhajan etc
Seva means service
Meditation cannot wait. Everything else can wait in life. That is what yogananda used to say
There are many that do these things regularly. Almost a ritual. That is good. But making meditation a ritual is rare
Shivomtirthji said don’t think the mind will accept defeat that easily
It is a long battle. But fear not. Moksha – if all is done properly can be achieved in 3 years 6 years or 12 years
Such people are exceeding rare
