Whether we practise karma yoga, bhakti yoga or jñāna yoga – we should examine the true motivation behind our actions. Are the homas, seva, prayers and bhajans really solely to please God? Or are we doing it to achieve or attain some kind of returns for our own pleasure? If it is the latter, then that is not ādhyātma.

ādhyātma, Sadguru says, is another word for spirituality. Spirituality is not about anything outside of you. Spirituality is everything about who you really are.
