Swami Krishnananda.// The Mistake of Religions: Chapter 4: True Renunciation is Enlightenment-4. Swami Krishnananda.// Post - 24.  =================================================================================================== We have to understand both these things correctly in our approach to God—and, therefore, God's being escapes the grasp of our understanding. Inasmuch as it eludes our grasp, we find it difficult to tread the spiritual path.

Swami Krishnananda. The Mistake of Religions: Chapter 4: True Renunciation is Enlightenment-6. Swami Krishnananda. Post - 26.  ========================================================================================= This is the first step in religious or spiritual life—to free oneself from these psychological, emotional and instinctive involvements, not by severing them with a sword but by fulfilling their requirements, as when we are sick we do not kill our body so that we may be free from the illness, but we fulfil the needs of the body by taking medicines. There are two ways of killing the disease. We kill the body itself; then the disease is also killed. But this is not what we are attempting to do. We are trying to rejuvenate our personality and fulfil the needs of the person...
