<> | Daily Meditations Thanks for being part of our daily meditations - we hope this moment will lift you higher. Click on the logo to find more inspiration at www.meditation.org.au | | Tuesday, 23 September 2008 - Asceticism for its own sake is not the ideal of this Yoga, but self-control in the vital and right order in the material are a very important part of it -- and even an ascetic discipline is better for our purpose than a loose absence of true control. Mastery of the material implies in it the right and careful utilization of things and also a self-control in their use. Forceful suppression (fasting also comes under the head) stands on the same level as free indulgence; in both cases, the desire remains: in the one it is fed by indulgence, in the other it lies latent and exasperated by suppression. - Sri Aurobindo | |
