How to Persist in Spiritual Sadhana

Poojya Swamiji, through this crisp and effective talk lays emphasis that we must watch all our thoughts, words and deeds. Recognizing that one is gripped by raga-dvesha or bhaya, one must disallow them.

Application of wisdom is the only way to progress in sadhana. Efforts should be to minimize and mitigate Raga-dvesha and bhaya. Neither home nor spouse nor money will bring abundance in life, only transcending Raga-dvesha and bhaya will.
