There fore every Ananda Margii will have to perform Sadhana twice a day invariably. Verily is this the Command of the Lord. Without Yama and Ni yama Sadhana is an impossibility. Hence the Lord's Command is also to follow Varna and Ni yama. Disobedience to this Command is nothing but to throw oneself into the tortures of animal life for crores of years. That no one should un d·ergo torments such as these, that he might be enabled to enjoy the eternal blessedness under the loving shelter of the Lord, it is the bounden duty of every Ananda Margii to endeavour to bring all to the Path of Bliss. Verily is this a part and parcel of Sadhana to lead others along the Path of Righteousness. DFTS-03070 CONTENTS ' ......
