   Adopting a controlled, disciplined and well-organized life style is called Jeevan Sadhana. In essence, it is the focused process of cleansing and refining the inner self and making it a fit channel for the flow of divine energies. It involves rooting out the base and animal instincts deeply embedded in the human psyche and replacing them by divine virtues. This trove of virtues can be accessed only by adopting the path of faith, self-discipline and control over the senses. One does not need any outside help in this venture; it is accomplished by the self through sincere and sustained self-effort. It is neither inherited nor achieved as a gift/boon from someone. It is a promptly rewarding Sadhana. One does not have to wait for long to get its results, provided the effort is single-pointed and sincere.

Its accomplishment can be accelerated by imbibing the virtues of mindfulness and full and unconditional engrossment in the work at hand. For this purpose, one has to develop inner strength to fight the undesirable habits/traits. In fact, earning the capacity/power to make life purposeful has been called chiseling and fine-tuning of personality; and this is Jeevan Sadhana. This Sadhana of life spreads the fragrance of purity, love and compassion in the innerself and makes the personality illustrious in the external world. In today’s competitive world there is dire need of this Sadhana.
