Sadhana & Love

PR Sarkar — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 14:56:00 +0000

What is sadhana?
Sadhana is the transformation of fearful love into fearless love.

This meditation (sadhana) for complete merger, for unification, starts with fearful love.
Love must be there. Unless and until there is love, there cannot be unification.

The rarity of human life

After millions of animal lives, created beings attain human forms.
That is why all the scriptures speak of the rarity of human life.
You have achieved human frame – you must make it meaningful
by your sadhana (spiritual practice), service and sacrifice.

Tantra

PR Sarkar — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:35:41 +0000

The main characteristic of Tantra (spiritual expression) is that it represents mainly vigour. It represents a pactless fight. Where there is no fight there is no sadhana (spiritual practice).

It is impossible to conquer a crude idea and to replace it by a subtle idea without a fight. It is not possible without spiritual practice. Hence, Tantra is not only a fight, it is an all-round fight. It is not only an external or an internal fight, it is simultaneously both.

Sadhana

What is sadhana (spiritual practice)?
Sadhana means an effort.

Effort for what?
It is an endless effort to become one with the Supreme Nucleus.
It is a ceaseless effort to obtain perfection from imperfection.

One Must Always Think of the Supreme

PR Sarkar — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 11:16:34 +0000

One who wants to attain the goal must not be too concerned with obstacles on the way. If one thinks of the obstacles, they will themselves become the goal and not the Supreme.

That is why, in the field of spiritual sa’dhana’ (spiritual practice), one must always think of the Supreme, not anything else. While thinking of this goal, if some opposite feeling comes in the mind of the aspirant, s/he should not think of this.

“From where are the obstacles coming?” This should not be the topic of discussion. “What we have to reach” – this should be the topic of discussion.

Concealed Within Your Mind

The Supreme Consciousness has concealed Himself within your mind. He is hidden behind the curtain of your “I-ness”. You need not go to the Himalayan mountains to find out the thing that is concealed in your own “I”. Does one need a mirror to see the bangle on one’s hand? The Supreme, therefore, is within you. There is need only of removing the veil of ego.

Return Home

PR Sarkar — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 13:16:35 +0000

In simple terms, what we have to do is to return home from where we came. We have all come from the Supreme Entity, the Nucleus of the universe. We have to return to the same destination.

The child has played throughout the day away in the fields, and now that evening has come, he returns home. He thinks that his father must have returned home: “Let me return home and sit near him.”

When one is tired of this world and worldliness, one yearns to go back to spirituality – one’s home. And what is our permanent abode, our home? The Supreme Consciousness.

Spiritual practice (sa’dhana’), therefore, is the process of returning home. It is a simple task. It requires no scholarship, no knowledge, no intellectual faculty, no long and tedious lecturing.
