Everyday practising is important
Spiritual progress requires consistent daily practice, not occasional effort. The journey demands integrating discipline into ordinary life, balancing responsibilities while maintaining steady effort. Merely visiting an ashram once a year is insufficient; one must practice at home, morning and evening. Proficiency develops over years, like a child learning gradually. Just as a pilot must operate an aircraft regularly to maintain skill, so must one engage in spiritual practice diligently. This is our life, and everything in it matters. The work continues wherever you go.
"Because, well, if not today, then perhaps tomorrow—like this."
"If you cannot practice daily and only come once a year, then you are not on the journey."
