The results of sadhana should be evident on its own and naturally in sadhak. Sadhak should take a pause if this is not the case. Otherwise he will fall in a ditch. It is sadhana only if he experiences sublimation (transformation) of his natural tendencies by his heart. If that is not the case, he should consider the sadhana as a some kind of false belief and should be prepared to abandon it. Before doing that he should examine himself with complete impartiality. Moreover he must examine himself and decide if he has expressed the spirit (bhavna) of sadhana with complete awareness, deep knowledge and devotion in his daily life, at every instant. If sadhak can do all these then only he should consider himself fit to think like that (abandon the sadhana), not otherwise.
