All the dos and don'ts

Today, some people claim that dharma and moral values don't play any role in spiritual life - they are unnecessary. Children, to attain any goal - be it spiritual or material - have to follow certain dos and don'ts. Unless those prescribed conditions are followed, attaining the desired result will be difficult. The subtler the ultimate fruit, the more intense the path to it will be. Spiritual realisation is the subtlest of all goals. Therefore, the rules and regulations it demands are rigorous.

A patient cannot just eat and drink whatever he wants. Depending on the illness, there will be restrictions of diet and movement. If the patient doesn't adhere to the doctor's instructions, his condition can aggravate.

There are musicians who practice 18 hours a day in order to attain perfection. Whatever be your area of interest - spirituality, science, politics, sport, arts - your success and ascension in will depend on the way you approach it, the amount of time you sincerely spend in achieving your goal and how much you follow the essential principles.


For success in spirituality, we need to become rich in the universal values. In the beginning, we only need to pick one - purity, love, compassion, forgiveness, patience or perseverance - and observe it with faith and optimism. The other qualities will automatically follow. Ultimately, the purpose of this is to go beyond the limitations of the mind.
