A single occupation, a single aim, a single joy―the Divine.
– The Mother, CWM, Vol. 14, p. 14
This is how the Mother guides us — most simply, and most profoundly. To be even slightly worthy of this term ‘sādhaka’, one must have this — one single occupation, one single aim, one single joy – the Divine. Nothing more. Nothing less. But this requires the most sincere aspiration. It requires an absolutely perfect surrender, and a most rigorous rejection of all that takes one away from that single occupation and single aim. It requires deep and perfect concentration of all our energies, all our thoughts and emotions, every single movement within and without.
The path is long. But Her Grace can make it sweet and sunlit. Sri Aurobindo once said that it is a mistake to think that one can do Yoga on one’s own. No human being can ever do it. It is always the Divine who does the Yoga. Our job is to give full assent to the Divine. Though, of course, even giving our full assent to the Divine Will does not come without challenges. One’s sincere aspiration and concentrated effort play important part in this regard. Concentration and Meditation are important aspects of all spiritual pursuit and practice.
In the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother we find highly valuable insights and practical advice on the rightful place of meditation and the deep significance of concentration in Integral Yoga. BhāratShakti department invites you to register for a FREE ONLINE COURSE designed to introduce the significance and place of meditation and concentration in Integral Yoga.
