All raga must be entirely put aside. We must separate ourselves from
from: it. We must acquire the opposite condition, where every passionis stilled, where no attraction for the objects of desire
remains, where all the bonds that unite the man to surrounding
objects are broken. "When the bonds of the heart are broken, then
the man becomes immortal."
How shall this dispassion be brought about? There is only one
right way of doing it. By slowly and gradually drawing ourselves
away from outer objects through the more potent attraction of the Self.
The Self is ever attracted to the Self. That attraction
alone can turn these vehicles away from the alluring and
repulsive objects that surround them; free from all raga, no more
establishing relations with objects, the separated Self finds
himself liberated and free, and union with the one Self becomes
the sole object of desire.
But not instantly, by one supreme effort, by one endeavour, can
this great quality of dispassion become the characteristic of the man
bent on Yoga. He must practice dispassion constantly and steadfastly.
That is implied in the word joined with dispassion, abhyasa or practice. The
practice must be constant, continual and unbroken. "Practice"
does not mean only meditation, though this is the sense in which
the word is generally used; it means the deliberate, unbroken
carrying out of dispassion in the very midst of the objects that
attract.
In order that you may acquire dispassion, you must practice it in
the everyday things of life. I have said that many confine
abhyasa to meditation.
That is why so few people attain to Yoga. Another error is to wait for
some big opportunity. People prepare themselves for some tremendous
sacrifice and forget the little things of everyday life, in which the mind is
knitted to objects by a myriad tiny threads.
These things, by their pettiness, fail to attract attention, and in
waiting for the large thing, which does not come, people lose the
daily practice of dispassiontowards the little things that are around them.
By curbing desire at every moment, we become indifferent to all the objects that
surround us. Then, when the great opportunity comes, we seize it
while scarce aware that it is upon us.
Every day, all day long, practice--that is what is demanded from
the aspirant to Yoga, for only on that line can success come; and it
is the wearisomeness of this strenuous, continued endeavour that
tires out the majority of aspirants.
