Do We Need to Leave Daily Worldly Life for Spiritual Transformation?

Question:

Dadashreeji, you were explaining about spiritual transformation. Would you be able go into more detail? Do we need to change our food, the way we dress, and stop partying to transform? Do we need to leave all this for transformation? And do we have to choose a life of Tapasya/ renunciation for transformation?

Dadashreeji:

Again, let me tell you that all of this is your mind playing games. You will always have a lot of excuses not to change your habits or do new things. For example, I am not a vegetarian and I smoke, therefore I can’t follow the spiritual path.  I can say this from my experience and confidence that you don’t have to change anything about yourself consciously.  With the kind of spiritual transformation we are talking about, a lot will happen very easily, all by itself in your life.  First this will happen from within initially and slowly you will be able to see the change on the physical level. It will be a great positive change. You don’t have to change anything from your own side. So, get ready for this.

Interviewer: (Laughter) So you mean, that this is the journey is from inside of you that moves out?

Dadashreeji: Yes, yes.

Interviewer: So, you mean to say that this will be a journey of change from within?

Dadashreeji: Yes.
