What makes a good house?
Double glazing?
Nice paint on the outside of the house?
White pickett fence?
Rose garden out front?
Nope - none of the above.
It is a STRONG FOUNDATION
If the foundation of the house is weAk then in time the building will crumble no matter how hard we try to maintain a pristine external facade.
Similarly if we don't root ourselves in this philosophy and seriously apply ourselves to our sadhana we will also crumble spiritually until one day we just collapse.
Does not matter how nicely you wear your sari or put tilak on or sing in kirtan.
If the root is weak & rotten you are on borrowed time.
This is why it is so important to have STRONG healthy sadhana to ensure our foundation is stable.
