Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Swami! Is it necessary for us to observe austerity and follow discipline only inside an asram or in the society outside as well? Sai Baba: I suggest that you follow discipline and lead a simple life wherever you live. You may go to any place, but there also you should always follow niyama, discipline, have s'raddh a , sincerity, and take to sadhana, spiritual practice. This is the spiritual way of life. Out of two sick persons, one may be treated as an outpatient and the other may be admitted to a hospital depending on the ailment. But, both should necessarily take medicine for a cure, should not they? Similarly, you may reside in an asram or outside: But you should definitely follow discipline, be simple, and lead a spiritual life. As individuals caught in the cycle of birth and death, bhava roga, you need to take the medicine of sadhana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
