One in a thousand desires to follow the path of Sadhana. One in a thousand of those who practise, attains God. To see God and God alone in all, this wisdom is attained after several births of persistent practice. The only obstacle is the mind, the enemy within us. Desire keeps you away from God. The impure mind, the sinful heart, your enemy within.

One in a thousand desires to follow the path of Sadhana. One in a thousand of those who practise, attains God. To see God and God alone in all, this wisdom is attained after several births of persistent practice. The only obstacle is the mind, the enemy within us. Desire keeps you away from God. The impure mind, the sinful heart, your enemy within. "Man hi karta, Man hi bhogta" ~ your mind is your worst enemy, your mind is your greatest friend. The saint sees only God everywhere. But the wicked man sees some as objects of pleasure, and others as sources of pain. It is because of this inner enemy, desire. Sadhana only demands a change of heart, and if this is effected, you immediately become good. With its help, we can always think of God. If our heart is pure, we can serve all with joy. A saint is a man of perfectly pure mind. He has, therefore, no enemy on earth. We can run away from an outside enemy. But, wherever we go, our mind comes with us. We cannot escape it. We must purify it. Divert all your desires also Godward. Yes, Reflect on your activities every day and examine if you have acted in accordance to Dharma. People desire to avoid misery but continue to indulge in sinful acts. They wish to pass in the examination but will not study. we must be inclined towards Dharma as Dharma alone results in good. Adharma must be shunned as it leads to one’s fall however great one may be. Lord Hanuman expresses in the Sundara Kaanda of Valmiki Ramayana that Ravana would have been able to rule over all the worlds including Heaven, but for his Adharma!
