Hari OM
'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days; Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away." You know that adage, right? The thing is, though, it is important to eat the whole apple (bar the seeds and stalk, of course!) to gain the most nutritional benefit and boost to immunity and other body systems.
Why mention this? Well, saadhana is your spiritual 'apple a day' - to keep the blues away! Having a routine focus on something other than oneself kick-starts the mind in positive directions and away from brooding over errors of the day before or fretfulness about what might happen if…
Reading about spirituality (yes it is worth repeating) does not make one spiritual. It is putting the learning into practice. That too, the whole of learning, not just cherry-picking the parts you like and leaving 'the skin', which is harder to chew and digest. The reason the skin of the apple is like this is not only to protect the softer flesh but also to make the body work better through fibre combustion which permits better uptake of the vitamins. Full practice of all of saadhana, application of all teaching is what will bring the best benefit to the spiritual you.
