The Heart of the Practice

Every authentic spiritual practice shares a common foundation: sincerity. Whether you chant for 5 minutes or 5 hours, whether you practice alone or in a Mandali of fifty, the sincerity of your effort is what the divine responds to.

In the tradition of the saints, consistency is valued above intensity. Baba said, 'If you look to me, I look to you.' This looking — this consistent turning of attention toward the divine — is the essence of all Sadhana.
