Chapter 12 Verses 1 & 2 Sadhana questions for Week 2

Question 1

One day is one unit of life.
How do we live this? What is the 'dinacharya' that we follow?
Why is the regularity of daily sadhana important for a spiritual seeker? 
"To purify the mind and bring about an inner transformation is a full-time job not a part-time hobby," 
Swami Tejomayananda.

Question 2

The very purpose of bhakti-sadhana is -

atmarati-para-bhakti 

which is the uninterrupted experience of the Atman. 

The Atman means peace, love, awareness, delight, freedom, desire lessness; all these are synonymous with the Divine. For a devotee, his/her inner anchorage in the divine mood is his/her very life. Those alone matters, not any external rituals or signs. He or She may live in this world as a householder, a celibate, or an all-renouncing monk to maintain this inner hold of Divine Awareness. A householder's life or duties are not hindrances but losing hold of Divine Awareness is.
