One who practices yoga works intently—with total energy and attention to the work at hand—but they do not struggle. Struggle accompanies a lack of faith. We struggle when we are trying to create something and believe we are on our own.

One who stands on the steady ground of faith in God is free from reactions arising from likes and dislikes. The even-mindedness that comes from faith brings freedom.

Our initial spiritual practice may be intermittent. With dedication and perseverance, practice becomes steady, an integral part of each day. Through self-discipline and God’s grace, one’s life begins to turn to God completely. Like a pilgrim circling the Kaaba, Self-realization is the center of all one thinks, says, and does.

Any time we come to our meditation practice for some reason—to find peace, get enlightened, or solve a problem—it is contrary to the true spirit of meditation. Such thoughts are about the future. Meditation is now—a radical return to unconditional joy.
