INTENSITY AND ACTION🔗

When I was a child, my mentor Ragupati Yogi, used to train me in the path of yoga. He used to make me shift stones from one place to another, from one corner to another, and back to the same place, or climbing the pillars in the temple using just one hand!

It is not directly productive, but he used to insist that I do it. When I felt exhausted, he used to ask me to do the same work in an unclutched way, meditating on my all-pervasiveness.

I noticed that I used to feel tired by working for six hours, shifting a stone from the right corner to the left corner. But when I meditated on the infinite, I used to very clearly experience that I am able to work without tiredness for the next six hours, shifting the stone to one corner and back.

I tell you: mediate on the infinite continuously though unclutching. Go on and on and on. Take this as a process, as a spiritual practice, and work for twelve hours a day. Do anything, whether it is physical or mental action.

Take this as a spiritual practice.
