Doing sadhana is like carrying a lamp into the dark night of our unconscious life. It reveals what is already there. It’s easier to ignore the clutter of self-will and attachments that collect in our life if we do not bring the light to them. Once we see what is there, we can begin a new way of living.

Renunciation does not require renouncing the world or our duties in it. The cave of the heart is the true renunciate’s abode. Everything done with nonattachment and love for God is renunciation.

Love for God is the antidote for the suffering that comes from attachment to things. Detaching from desires can be an austerity practiced with great effort and resolve, or it can happen effortlessly like the wave returning to the ocean.

Do not say you will begin to practice meditation tomorrow, or next week when you have finished some critical work, or when more time is available. Everything depends on God. Begin now.

The nature of thought is to divide, to compare one thing against another. Love unifies. God is One and free of “other.” Therefore, we can never know God through thought. Only undivided love reveals God’s presence.

How can one accomplish single-minded devotion to God amid work and family life? See God in all. Serve the One in all. Do everything for God.
