SADHAK (A Spiritual Aspirant)
No person can become a sadhak (spiritual aspirant) by doing prohibited actions.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak may either turn away from the unreal (Asat, temporary and changing) or may turn towards the real (Sat, Eternal, Permanent). Of the two, he will have to do either one of them, than only, the troubles will go away.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak must have a firm aim, a determination, a single pointed goal, that he must only attain God Realization - Having a firm aim and remaining unshakable and steadfast in it is extremely essential.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak must at no time see himself as an enjoyer of pleasures or a worldly person. He must at all times be alert that "I am a sadhak".
*** *** *** ***
The more detached one becomes from inert matters, the more the sadhak gains extraordinariness within himself.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak is one who is ever alert and cautious.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak must believe that he is naturally established only in Paramaatmaa (God, Supreme Consciousness), which in essence is truth. A sadhak who believes that he is established in the world, takes a fall from his spiritual practice.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak should think that if no one benefitted from him, if no one was uplifted by him, and if no one was served by him, then how is he a sadhak ?
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak is not worried or concerned about his spiritual practice, nor any attainment, nor of any supernatural powers, but it is essential that for God Realization there must be intense longing.
Worries take one away from Bhagwaan (God), where as, intense longing can make one realize God.
*** *** *** ***
As long as one is aware of their individuality, till then the sadhak must not become satisfied.
*** *** *** ***
It is alright to have differences and to make your life and your spiritual practices according to the group, the path, the lineage etc. that you follow, however, to feel bad about the differences in
others, to criticize them, to detest, condemn, or hate them, that is a mistake.
*** *** *** ***
As long as a sadhak is not discontented with his present state, till then there will not be any spiritual progress.
*** *** *** ***
A sadhak must minimally have alertness, such that whatever he sees as perishable, he must not get attached and entangled in it, he must not give it importance. Make use of perishable things, but do not accept its servitude.
*** *** *** ***
Sadhak, instead of following a particular doctrine, must realize the Essential Element, the Truth (tatvavaadi).
