- Swami Chinmayananda explains that there are three stages of self-development - the first is characterized by selfish actions, the second by selfless actions, and the third by meditation.
- Most people remain in the first stage, and only a few progress to the second with the guidance of a wise teacher or with an inner urge to free themselves from worldly bonds.
- Even Arjuna, the famous character from the Mahabharata, did not seek liberation initially. He was only looking for guidance to help him make a decision. However, Lord Krishna guided him towards the ultimate goal of human life - liberation.
- Like Arjuna, many of us may wonder which path to follow - engaging in worldly actions or renouncing them in favour of meditation. Is it possible to fully renounce all actions and remain in meditation for an extended period of time without any urges to act?
