SACRIFICE
Revered Grand Master and beloved Master used to say that ―the troubles and miseries of grihastha life are the penances and sacrifices for spiritual attainment. (Practice and Efficacy of Rajayoga Page 2, Para1, April 1999 Edition)
There may be difference of opinion over the question of births and deaths, among the followers of different creeds, but it is certain that mere theoretical knowledge of the scriptures will not solve the question. Practical experience in the spiritual field is necessary for the purpose. The question ends when one acquires 'Anubhava Shakti' (Intuitive Capacity) of the finest type and can himself realize the true state of life hereafter. The mystery is however, explained by the people in various ways, but almost all agree on the point that the object of life is to achieve eternal bliss after death. For this they insist on a life of virtue, sacrifice and devotion which will bring to them the eternal joy of the paradise or salvation or peace.
