Three Steps To Wisdom
There are three steps which man has to follow to develop understanding and wisdom. These are: , , and (listening, recapitulation, and contemplation). We have to adopt these three steps to derive benefit from the Discourses of the noble souls and study of scriptures. What is the use of listening and studying if we do not reach anywhere and remain dissatisfied and disillusioned? Unless we put into practice what we study and listen, we cannot understand our reality and realise our divinity. This is why we are subjected to endless cycle of birth and death. Man performs spiritual practices like meditation and recitation of God’s Name. But performance of spiritual practices without purity is useless. said that one’s pride of youth, wealth, and knowledge is bound to vanish. Man can attain immortality only through sacrifice and renunciation. What is that we need to sacrifice in our life? First and foremost, we need to sacrifice our bad habits. If we are not able to sacrifice even our habits of coffee, tea, smoking, and snuff, how can we sacrifice our ego to attain divinity? Man today has become frustrated in his life because he does not leave the feelings of I and mine. He should attain purity of mind by inculcating moral values. He can develop moral values when he renounces worldly thoughts and develops divine thoughts. Only then can he progress on the path of spirituality. He should elevate himself from animal to human level and from human to divine level. But, unfortunately, most people do not progress even an inch in this direction.
