“Mind...cleansed through sadhana (spiritual practices)...serves as a perfect reflector of the spiritual reality.”

“(…) In every Age people reached salvation through different types of action and sadhana (spiritual practice), but in this Age one can reach liberation only through hard work. (…) We need not consider religion or caste, but only look to hard work.”

“We are becoming more spiritual, in our minds, but in reality, it is the opposite of spiritually that is practised by the mystics.”

“Spirituality does not encourage idleness, but you must be more practical than those who are not spiritual.”

“Art can be a spiritual practice. Not all artists consider this to be true for them, but with the proper motivation and focus, it can be. A spiritual practice is an activity that enables you to develop the qualities of mental clarity, mindfulness of the moment, wisdom, compassion and access to revelations of higher mystic states of awareness. A contemplative method, such as yoga or meditation, will stabilize and assist in the progress of spiritual awareness. An artist’s craft can become a contemplative method, and the creations may provide outward signs of an inner spiritual journey.”

“Music is the outward and audible signification of inward and spiritual realities.”

“It is a person's virtuousness that is an inexhaustible source of his spiritual energy in serving humanity.”

“All spiritual practices are illusions created by illusionists to escape illusion.”

“We don't ideologically believe in the separation of spirit and matter, but in practice, we still tend to think that things that are too material, too real-life, are somehow not as spiritual. So a trance to Faery is perceived as "spiritual," whereas a trance to a Brazilian favela slum is not. We can argue about the reality of Faery, but the favela is undeniably real. If we truly believe that our spirituality is about deep interconnectedness, maybe it's more important for us to grapple internally with the reality of the favela than to dance with the faeries.”

“Spirit is never an object; nor a spiritual reality an objective one.”
