ЁЯФ╢ Human life, with myriads of latent physical, mental and spiritual qualities, may be likened to a garden of sweet fruits. Even if only a few of these qualities are cultivated systematically, one can relish the fruits of joy. But if the baser tendencies and bodily habits are left undisciplined, they run amuck. Such motiveless life leads to the growth of thorny bushes of misery and suffering in the garden of life. Like a Kalpavriksha (a mythological tree supposed to fulfill every desire of a person sitting beneath it), the human life is potentially full of innumerable precious gifts. One can benefit from these divine gifts only when life’s energies are properly focused, disciplined and directed towards noble deeds.
ЁЯФ╖ The efforts made towards this end have been called sadhana. Many deities are worshiped and it is believed that they grant suitable boons to their devotee. The underlying truth is that while moving along the path of sadhana, an intrinsic faith has to be developed and the wayward propensities and perversities of the lower self have to be identified, curbed, refined and transformed into divine virtues. Natural adoption of virtuous life is a visible sign of divine grace. Once it is accomplished, people can smoothly move ahead in the direction of the ultimate goal of human endeavour – self-realisation.
