NECESSITY OF SECLUSION

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on December 3, 2012 at 7:00pm

Eknath, Raja Janaka and others realized God by practicing spiritual Sadhana while remaining in the world. The central teaching of the Bhagavad Gita is to realize in and through the world. These great sages were really Yoga Brashtas (fallen in Yoga in their previous births). To follow their example is impos¬sible for the vast majority.
Lord Jesus was missing for eighteen years. Lord Buddha went into seclusion for eight years m the Uruvala forest. You can make a beginning in the world but when you have made some progress, you should go into solitude for advanced practices.
From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
