To achieve the goal of self-welfare, it is necessary to adopt the process of self-improvement, self-building and self-development.
All the spiritual method of chanting, meditation, meditation and hymn is for the purpose. But the means by which this objective is achieved are body, mind and society. Without achieving the goal of self-welfare without being well-organized, the days of survival are difficult to cut. The first step of spiritual practice is to pave the way for spiritual progress by streamlining the external life. Without passing this first class, those who want to jump and climb to the top, think of Pratyahara, Samadhi, Chakra-Vedhan, Kundalini Jagran are the only failures. How can the goal of spiritual perfection be achieved through dirty and polluted means?
Speed towards goal
With the help of a healthy body, a clean mind and a civilized society, the soul moves towards its goal. Therefore, we should carefully complete this first floor of progress. After this the next floors become very simple. If the first class is weak then how will the future work go? How can the race be run by someone whose legs are weak? For those who have not memorized vowels, consonants, counting, multiplication of primary school properly, M.A. The dream of passing through will remain imaginary.
Yama-niyamana has to be practiced first in yoga practice. Non-violence, truth, asthey, brahmacharya, aparigraha-yama and defecation, santosha, austerity, self-discipline, God providence – If we pay close attention to these ten things, then it becomes clear that their purpose is physical, mental and social order. The program of celibacy, defecation and penance has been kept from the point of view of physical health. The restraint of senses comes under celibacy. Cleanliness refers to sanitation of body, clothing, home and appliances. Tapa means physical and mental labor – posture, pranayama, exercise, learning, pain-tolerance etc. Health is protected by these or similar virtues. Truth, Santosh, Swadhyaya and Ishwar worship are the four grounds for mental hygiene. Treachery, Argument and hypocrisy etc. are mitigated by truth and fidelity. Why will Santoshi crave and lust? Due to self-study and meditation, the dirtiness of the mind will disappear. If the worshiper of God is seen everywhere, then why would the sinner be present in sin and why will he be immersed in fear, anxiety, mourning, despair etc.? Similarly, there are non-violence, asthey and aparigraha for social order. Seeing one’s own soul in others, treating them with love, cooperation and generosity is non-violence. It is unheard of to live on one’s own earned income and return the remaining talent, knowledge, ability, time and wealth from the essential needs of subsistence to the interest of society, Donating is irreconcilable. On these facts, a society flourishes and remains organized. Yama and Niyam are the primary programs of yoga-practice. The attainment of soul is possible only through yoga. Therefore, those who have a true desire for Laksh fulfillment also have to follow the true path.
