As a spiritual aspirant

As a spiritual aspirant (Sadhaka), you must first learn the secret of the 'inward vision', and take your attention away from the exterior. You have heard so far little about the inner world, but divine life is nothing but this method of 'inward living'. Just as the baby, after learning to watch and understand, tries to toddle hither and thither at home, so also the spiritual aspirant learns to toddle in the inner world and understand it. A healthy baby in the cradle waves its arms and legs in glee, watching the lamp on the wall and lisps in joy; the Sadhaka also healthy in body, mind and soul, lying in the cradle of life, watches the Inner world and claps his hands ceaselessly in great glee at that inner joy. - Sathya Sai Baba
