Reflections Along The Way

Self-Unfoldment #47: Sādhanā - Discrimination, Detachment

Neelima Polam

How do we measure spiritual progress? Let us explore the transformative power of sadhana, the spiritual practice that cleanses our minds from the conditionings that obscure our true nature. By honing viveka (discernment) and vairagya (detachment), we cultivate mental clarity and harmony, empowering ourselves to distinguish the lasting from the fleeting, the real from the unreal. Discover how the age-old wisdom of "neti neti" or "not this, not this" helps us shed falsehoods and embrace the oneness of the individual and the supreme soul.

Navigating through life’s complexities can be daunting, but spiritual progress knows no age limit. This episode underscores that the perfect moment to embrace spirituality is a myth, likening the wait to futilely standing by the shore hoping for a calm sea. The real time to turn inward is now, regardless of life's challenges or distractions. Cultivating dispassion towards the material world sets the stage for genuine spiritual growth. 

This reflection is based on Self-Unfoldment by Swami Chinmayananda, which offers insights for enhancing our lives through the timeless wisdom of Vedanta.
