ACTIONS AND SADHANA

Action itself is not important.

What is important is the constant and continuous awareness of life's purpose behind the action, while performing the action.


---------------------------------------------


My two cents  ----

This is the last of the 18 verses written by Pujya Shree Mota. These verses give us the blue print for living a spiritual life. If these verses are put into practice, progress is sure to come in your life. The grace of Pujya Shree Mota is always there and you can count on it.

At one of Pujya Shree Mota's discourses a devotee asked "Are there any rites, rituals or methods to doing Sadhana ( living spiritual life )?"

Pujya Shree Mota replied "While performing actions, you should have a living awareness of God's presence in your heart, with knowledge and devotion.  Remember the purpose of performing actions is to shape and improve yourself. Moreover, all actions are dedicated to God and are done in the spirit of offering. At the same time there should be complete harmony and cooperation of mind and other parts of the body (like intelligence, prana etc). This is the method of Sadhana."

 There is no Sadhana particularly separate from life itself.
