Sādhana is an effort, a dedicated, consistent, wholesome pursuit of life. It is not an academic pursuit. Everything that one studies, must persuade one to go into one’s own mind, using the tool of intelligence and bring about the necessary transformation.

The goal must be very clear to the seeker. The goal must be to make the mind pure, serene and wholesome.

Speaking about the four-fold Sadhana Chatushtayam, Swamiji says that a seeker must assess himself and make a sincere effort to increase the qualities gradually.
