मन्दाः सुमन्द-मतयो मन्द-भाग्याः कलौ नराः ।

तस्मान्न शक्रुवन्त्येव विधातुं नियमान् बहून् ॥

तस्मान्नियमसामान्य निरपेक्षं महाफलं ।

धर्मं कमपि लोकेस्मिन् प्रतिक्षन्ते नराः किल ॥

 

Mandah Sumandamatayo Mandabhagyah Kalau Narah

Tasmat Nashaknuvantyeva Vidhatum Niyaman Bahoon.

Tasmat Niyamasamanya Nirapeksham Mahaphalam

Dharmam Kamapi Lokesmin Pratikshante Narah Kila

 

People born in this Kaliyuga are lazy, slow-witted and unfortunate. Hence they will not come forward to observe the various kinds of strict austerities.

 

And hence they long to have some way that is devoid of even the simplest austerities, but, at the same time, is capable of yielding noble results in this Kaliyuga.

PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY FOR BEGINNERS

 

HH Maharanyam Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

1. Take food properly, but take sattvic food. Unnecessary and adamant fasting will lead to many diseases.

 

2. Take proper sleep and rest. Otherwise you will have neurological problems.

 

3. Don't imitate any saints or sadhaks.

 

4. Don't change your path for any cause or at any cost.

 

5. Don't get into notions or illusions

 

6. Be practical. Especially in your spiritual life.

 

7. Don't be idle. It will bring unnecessary negative things and weaken you.

 

8. Don't get influenced by others and their activities.

 

9. Purity, renunciation, chanting – are the backbone of a sadhak.

 

10. Try to control your emotions

 

11. Instead of lamenting, chant more

 

12. Avoid worldly pleasures and their company

 

13. Be clean always and be simple.

 

14. Mind your words and all of your activities.

 

15. Try to be alone if you don't find a real sadhu

 

16. Realisation is possible. At the same time, put it in your mind repeatedly that it is a very very long and sincere journey.

 

17. Be patient and calm

 

18. Don't analyse your mind often

 

19. Life on this earth is a small stop journey like any other journey. Nothing more than that.

 

20. Try to do all possible good things in all possible ways

 

21. Faith is the major wealth.

 

22. Don't lose your self confidence at any time.
