What is Sadhana or Spiritual pursuit? In Sadhana, the focus is in the inner sphere–mind, intelligence and ego. A seeker has to constantly strive to purify and sublimate these inner faculties.

Quoting scriptural verses, Swamiji points out that there are two qualities which should govern a seeker–Viveka (Discrimination) and Vairagya (Dispassion). In addition to these, Guru Bhakti should adorn a seeker. One must have fondness for the Guru, acceptance of whatever he says and the burning aspiration to follow whatever he says.

मन्दमध्यमरूपापि वैराग्येण शमादिना ।
प्रसादेन गुरोः सेयं प्रवृद्धा सूयते फलम् ।।
(Vivekachudamani 28)

ग्रन्थमभ्यस्य मेधावी ज्ञानविज्ञानतत्परः ।
पलालमिव धान्यार्थी त्यजेत् ग्रन्थमशेषतः ।।
