Discipline or Losing Individuality? | Thinking Bhakti Podcast 

Very nice points on the importance of defining a routine that suits our purpose and sticking to it, as results take time to manifest, and how a spiritual organisation can help creating that structure that support our transformation

Spiritual institution can be very helpfull in the begining of the spiritual path.

Jai Gurudev Swami Revatikaanta, Do you think that by people relinquishing the false ego that at times we also relinquish responsibility for taking accountability for poor choices and behaviour that may affect or impact others in a harmful way? For example, I often see people who deny who they are so much they refuse to really self reflect and see what needs to be seen. I have done this myself, and I am sure I will do it again. It happens on every path. I know we can say it is a part of the journey of life to get to know oneself and it is a lifelong journey, so over time one would hope we stop doing this but how do we ensure that we find balance between relinquishing the ego while also being honest and recognising the parts of ourselves that need to be seen, understood and healed? Are even the unhealed parts also the false ego? Secondly, why is the spiritual and material world seen as separate? If we keep seeing the material world and spiritual world as two different worlds, will this not keep us in a state of separation, not only within ourselves but with everything around us? Thank you in advance. I hope my questions are not too long. Your topics have a lot to unpack and reflect upon. Jai Gurudev 🙏
