Many seekers wonder that when they are performing so much of sadhana (Spiritual practice), why are they not progressing faster ? Such seekers should remember the following points.
1. Expectations about spiritual progress is also swechha (Our own wish). God, meaning, Shrikrushna has said in Shrimadbhagwadgita –
Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani
Meaning : You only have the right to actions or karma. You are not entitled to the fruits of the actions. Hence, do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions. Then, you will not be attached to not doing your duty or not performing actions.
2. The spiritual practice performed by many seekers is used up in reducing the intensity of their destiny or the sanchit (Accumulated give-and-take-account, which is created as a result of wilful karma). That is why, expected spiritual progress does not take place for them. – Dr. Athavale (10.2.2014)

3. Sanatan Sanstha is a spiritual organization. We teach spiritual practice. One important element in this spiritual practice is the ‘Personality Defect & Ego Removal Process’. This helps in making the behavior of people sattvik. When people become sattvik, the society becomes sattvik and in turn will help in establishing peace in the society.

Namaskar,
It is said our spiritual practice depends on our Yearning. And that yearning is 80% important. Yearning comes from expectations. If there is no expectations of getting Moksha or progressing spiritually then why would a seeker do sadhana ? What will be his motivating force behind his sadhana ? If I don’t wish to progress spiritually then why will I do sadhana ? I know Gurudev says , ” There should be no expectations” . But I feel perplexed by this statement. Isn’t Yearning for God Realisation is essential for rapid spiritual progress? Please let me know why will I do sadhana . 🙏🏻 I hope you get my question.
