Our religion contains the knowl\u00adedge of how to realize this one\u00adness and not create un\u00adwanted ex\u00ad\u00adperiences along the way. The peerless path is following the way of our spiritual forefathers, discovering the mystical meaning of the scrip\u00adtures. The peerless path is commitment, study, discipline, prac\u00adtice and the ma\u00adtur\u00ading of yoga into wisdom. In the beginning stages, we suffer un\u00adtil we learn. Learning leads us to service; and selfless service is the be\u00adginning of spiritual striving. Service leads us to understanding. Understanding leads us to medi\u00adtate deep\u00ad\u00adly and without distractions. Fin\u00adally, meditation leads us to surrender in God. This is the straight and certain path, the San M\u0101rga, leading to Self Real\u00adiz\u00ada\u00adtion\u2014the inmost purpose of life\u2014and sub\u00adsequently to moksha, freedom from rebirth. The Vedas wisely af\u00adfirm, \u201cBy aus\u00adterity, goodness is obtain\u00ad\u00aded. From good\u00ad\u00ad\u00adness, understanding is reached. From understanding, the Self is obtained, and he who obtains the Self is freed from the cycle of birth and death.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where Am I Going?
