A simple daily practice is to sit quietly and reflect upon the true purpose of one’s life.
Along with that, one should reflect from time to time if the everyday actions and attitudes are in consonance with the higher goal one has put before oneself. Look within sincerely since the mind has a habit of giving favourable explanations. Go past these and look for the hidden subterfuges that are preventing our forward advance.
Read something daily from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother or the Gita or whatever represents to us the highest. Read a few passages and meditate upon them.
Pray, seek, aspire what you want to be rather than what you presently are.
God’s name has a tremendous power. Call the Divine and take the Divine Name as often as you can.
Avoid the company of those who lead a superficial life and if one has to be in such surroundings, then practice equanimity and inwardness.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
