SPIRITUAL TRAINING
Rev. Babuji Maharaj states that, ”Viveka or Vairagya is a state of mind developed at different stages by constant practice of certain Yogic practices viz. Remembrance, Devotion or Love etc. Viveka in true sense never develops unless the senses are thoroughly purified. This happens only when mind gets properly regulated and disciplined and egoism (or Ahankar) assumes a purified state. Thus it is that Viveka is in fact the result of practices followed in order to bring about desired results. Now, Vairagya, the second sadhana of the Vedantists is likewise the result of Viveka. They are thus the stages of elementary attainments in Yoga and not the sadhanas or means of attainment of stages.”
The Master also states that “No practice is really of any avail if it does not naturally result in Viveka and Vairagya. The real form of Viveka is that when a man begins to realise his own defects and short comings and the bottom of his heart feels repentant for them.”
It may be noted from above that there are certain yogic practices related to 1. Remembrance 2.
