Spirituality describes the three-fold sadhana of shravana (listening to the words of the teacher), manana (introspecting on the words) and nididhyasana (get into absorptional state). Invariably, a seeker cannot do it by himself. The Guru gives Deeksha by which he initiates the disciple into an inner process of refined meditation. It results in absorption, where only the ‘I’ is there.

Yajna is a very holy act. Yajna results when the mind is not bound by delusional clinging. In Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna says that action, not done as yajna, will bind us. All activities have to become a Yajna. For a Sadhaka, is has to be a mind and intelligence yajna, a knowledge yajna. Yajña is a quality or a pursuit co-existential with the human life. Yajna is a transforming element in human life. By this, the mind becomes more peaceful, intelligence becomes subtler and more perceptive and there is an inner transparence, an inner purity, inner elevation and splendor. This inner radiance is experienced through a process of truthful introspection.
