09. Sadhana in the Ashram and Outside

Fragment ID: 1672

I was thinking not of Pranam etc. which have a living value, but of old forms which persist although they have no longer any value – e.g. śrāddha for the dead. Also here forms which have no relation to this yoga – for instance Christians who cling to the Christian forms or Mahomedans to the Namaz or Hindus to the Sandhyavandana in the old way might soon find them either falling off or else an obstacle to the free development of their sadhana.
