Once a devotee asked Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, if sadhana is the wealth that goes with us when we depart from the world, then why not invest our whole time in it alone?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar smiled and said you cannot, because your body cannot do it all the time. You can’t eat the whole year’s food in two days or in one month. Every day, you have to eat only a certain amount. Similarly, in sadhana also, you can’t hurry.
Sadhana has to be done progressively, step by step said Wisdom from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. You can do a little more when it comes to advance courses, maybe four or five in a year, but sitting the whole day in sadhana is not possible. The growth has to come gradually. One day, suddenly, you realise. Wow I am so changed. Nothing disturbs me anymore. I am happy; nothing can take away my happiness". This sort of wow comes to you when you look back at yourself.
