Advice for practising Anusthan
Establish a consistent daily practice for spiritual progress.
A dedicated daily sādhanā of half an hour to one hour is essential. Practice early in the morning to avoid disturbing others. This regularity is more valuable than intensive, irregular efforts. Discipline your eating: consume meals only at set times, with nothing but water in between. This aids both physical health and meditative focus. The practice involves concentrating on three points: the head, chest, or navel. Choose one and maintain your focus there consistently. This internal focus must be learned and sustained. Do not mix practices or overcomplicate your routine. Simplicity and regularity are the foundations. The technique is a gift from the lineage, meant to be integrated into your entire life.
"Three times you can eat, but between meals, nothing except water."
"One is thinking maybe here, or here in the chest, or in the navel. Only these three."
