This is the second part to the question - Importance of Practice in sadhana(spiritual practice). Om a swami says that everything depends on what one wants. If one wants yog samadhi then they have to learn to meditate well. If they want to walk the path of devotion then they have to learn to practice devotion. If one wants to walk the path of knowledge then they need to introspect on the real truth of who they really are and the truth regarding this world. The path of introspection has been the path of great rishis like Ramana and some other great saints. To walk the path of devotion instead of meditation, a person need not sit cross legged and put themselves through hardships. One can sit on a chair and can still be immersed in devotion. But when a person is doing some chanting or prayers but their mind is on other things then that is not really devotion, but nitya karma he says. In real devotion a person will purify themselves so much in thought, action and speech that they will be able to feel themselves worthy while chanting or while praying to their deity. This is real devotion says Om Swami. Only this kind of devotion leads a person towards liberation. This has been the path of great saints like Tukaram, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and some other great saints. Om Swami says that knowledge lies in knowing what can be changed and what cannot be, and to understand that once the goal becomes different the path will automatically change too.
