Discipline helps us
to calm our mind, because when the mind is very agitated on the
spiritual path, we can’t concentrate. We can’t really focus
ourselves on our heart. So even if you want to focus yourself on your
heart, your mind is jumping, jumping, jumping. So we do our Sadhana.
We chant, we practice Yoga or we do Om Healing or Atma Kriya to calm
the mind. It helps that we can listen more clearly to ourselves and
realize the Divine within ourselves. Not just tell somebody “Just
do your Sadhana and meditate and you will attain God"... It’s
true: If one is sincere towards oneself, one will
attain God, because God will
come to that person and will manifest Itself, the heart will manifest
itself. But yet we look at the world and
ask “How many people really are sincere towards themselves in that
way?” We are so busy with what we see
outside, what we think. We want to always analyze everything with our
mind, that we give so much less importance to the heart, even when we
know that “Yes, we have
to be in the heart, but we see how dominant our mind is."So
without saying “Yes, I want really strongly to follow, I want to
change and I want really to attain my goal, it's difficult.”We can
outside say “Yes, yes, yes I want this”, but inside we say “Wow,
it’s far away”. As long as you see this distance and are
discouraged, you will not enjoy your practice. It doesn’t matter
how big the distance is. Keep trying. And never loose hope.
