EXPRESSING BHAVNA IN DAILY LIFE

The purpose of meditation and other modalities used in sadhana is to express the continuity of the bhavna developed during the practice of these modalities in our daily lives. Only then it is possible to have continuous and all absorbing bhavna in our lives. If bhavna is produced during sadhana and it is massacred during rest of the time, creates a kind of fault in our bhavna that destroys it in the end due to these mutually contradictory ways. It is for this reason that sadhak has to pay a lot more attention with awareness to the daily interactions in life than attention to practicing sadhana. His inclination and tendency has to work to achieve this with knowledge, love and devotion. It is of little importance to practice sadhana if this aspect is not carried out wholeheartedly. I consider the spiritual path as a way to be practiced and expressed in our daily lives and call it JIVAN YOGA for the same reasons.
