Lack of Spiritual Success & Its Causes #100
A common occurrence and complaint among aspiring sadhikas and practitioners, in every age, is the lack of any appreciable progress along the path, sometimes even in the face of an active and ongoing spiritual practice. In the Vivekachudamani, Shankara takes this problem to task for the benefit of sincere seekers after Enlightenment. Most often it is an unclear or distorted perspective that hampers advancement, so the seeker, obtaining right guidance from the preceptor, must look both backwards and inwards to effect a solution.

All of this, and more is outlined in Shankara’s indepth scrutiny of all aspects surrounding this problem.
The Five Kinds & Twelve Types of Sacrifice #76
An intregal part of the sadhana of every living being in olden days in India, much of which has been lost or forgotten in this day and age, the principle and practice of Yagna, daily sacrifice, is sorely wanted and needed in today’s spiritual arenas. Record of its glory is to be found in the Bhagavad Gita, where Sri Krishna outlines the art of it via utilizing acknowledgement and practice of worshipping and serving the gods, the rishis, the
ancestors, human kind, and the subhuman species as well. A plethora of other noble and worthy selfless efforts are also to be found in this dharmic teaching, inspiring humanity to turn back to practices that will benefit rather than harm all sentient beings.
