You win him when you lose 'I'

Abstract

A spiritual aspirant wins when he loses his sense of “I” and “mine”. Conquering the petty self dominated by the whims and fancies of ego and relinquishing it in favour of experiencing the universal self is the purpose of spiritual practice. Be in the Sadguru’s company as much as you can. Steadfast faith in the Guru and practising His teachings help us realise His presence in us. “To realise Him in us, is the first step,” said Swami Yatiswarananda, “then we realise Him in others. Then comes a new outlook, a new sympathy. After the training in our faculties, the will power becomes stronger. Feeling, willing and knowing must be co-ordinated, must be transcended through prayer, meditation, discharge of our duties and self-control. Great energy is needed for spiritual life.”
