આ જીવન એવું ...

ભ્રમ માનો કે બ્રહ્મભાન

જાળ જાણો કે જાણો જન્મદાન

આ જીવન એવું જે જીવનાર...

મોહ માનો કે સકળસંધાન

માયા જાણો કે જાણો સતપ્રદાન

આ જીવન એનું જે શિરધાર...

કસોટી માનો કે પ્રવેશ દ્વાર 

પનોતી જાણો કે જાણો તક મહાન

આ જીવન એવું જે સ્વીકાર! 

વૈરાગી કે રૂપાંતરિત અવકાશ

સંયમ-ત્યાગ કે અંતઃસંતુલન-સત્કાર 

આ જીવન એનું જ્યાં દિવ્યસંચાર...

પ્રણામ પ્રભુ...

જય હો પ્રભુ...

સાદર...

What I call "being on the path" is being in a state of consciousness in which only union with the Divine has any value - this union is the only thing worth living, the sole object of aspiration. Everything else has lost all value and is not worth seeking, so there is no longer any question of renouncing it because it is no longer an object of desire. As long as union with the Divine is not the thing for which one lives, one is not yet on the path.

It is true that the path is very long, but for one who follows it with sincerity, it is really very interesting...

What do you want the Yoga for? To get power? To attain to peace and calm? To serve humanity?
None of these motives is sufficient to show that you are meant for the Path.
The question you are to answer is this: Do you want the Yoga for the sake of the Divine? Is the Divine the supreme fact of your life, so much so that it is simply impossible for you to do without it? Do you feel that your very raison d'etre is the Divine and without it there is no meaning in your existence? If so, then only can it be said that you have a call for the path. TM
