That practice when continued for a long time without break and with devotion becomes firm in foundation.

स तु दीर्घकाल नैरन्तर्य सत्कारासेवितो दृढभूमिः ॥ 14 ॥

sa tu dīrghakāla nairantarya satkārāsēvitō dṛḍhabhūmiḥ ॥ Y.S. 14 ॥

Somehow or another I find that I like to complicate things. It makes my day exceedingly complicated and I feel like I am not progressing. I want to constantly add things instead of getting into depth on the things I am already studying and doing. This is making my sadhana a lot harder than it needs to be as I am striving for novelty instead of the depth required for spirituality.

I am now adding tantra as a path as if it will change my outlook on things. The true path is one that needs to be done with few things done day after day with slight improvement. This is done over years and years.

What I am looking for now is not additional teachings but to grow in my path. The goal is to continuously improve on my yoga and make the practice stronger, incorporate Vedanta, and continuously improve myself.

This is the true goal I have. It means I am at a point where I don't need to do more I need to be stopped from doing more.

So my next set of progress is the following:

  1. Small Improvements. I am not longer going to add a ton of new things to my sadhana. If anything I am going to remove things. It does not mean I am not going to study other paths, but I am going to strengthen and make my current path much more solid.
  2. Simplified KPIs. I am an engineer and KPIs are important to me. So I will focus on a few simple KPIs to improve my sadhana.
  3. Incremental. Study to improve Yoga and from that improve Vedanta. Focus on a few teachers.

How this will be improved:

  • Study will be done based on Guru. So focus on one guru at a time for each path including Yoga and Vedanta. I will not focus on the limbs but start from each lineage. This way I can focus my energies on getting into the depth of each lineage instead of moving around. I will dive deep into a lineage and learn as much as possible before moving to the next topic.
  • Puja. Setup the puja required for the process of meditation.
