The ancient Rishis (sages), out of their own genuine experience, have clearly described the path to sanctify our lives. Their recommendation is not put together by reading and compiling from many books. According to them, in order to carry out the demands, the heavy schedule that Karma (Path of Action) imposes, you must have Bhakthi, Jnana and Yoga — Devotion, Wisdom and Self-Control. Dharma (Right Conduct) is the taproot of the great tree, religion. It is the eternal source of its strength. The tree is fed by waters of Bhakthi (Devotion). The leaves and flowers are renunciation and other virtues, and the fruit is Jnana (Wisdom). In these stages of growth, if there is any interruption or deficiency, that is to say even if any regulation is missed, then the fruit of wisdom or Jnana that the tree yields will be affected adversely. Hence remember this and have a disciplined and strict plan to be consistent in your practice and you will attain spiritual progress.
