Is the Mystic Path Practical for Modern People ?...

Nothing else is practical...Just look around, you see heartache, defeat, quarreling, and illness of every sort..Is this practical ?...It is entirely possible for any man or woman to live above all these defeats...People also wonder how their attention to the inner life will affect their exterior affairs..They wrongly assume that their business, social, and domestic activities will somehow suffer...They will do the exact opposite..They take on a brightness you cannot imagine..A new inner life always reflects itself outwardly... You don't lose one value by adding another...The awakened man not only continues nicely with his exterior affairs but exerts a new command over them..Because he no longer uses them to feed ego-needs, he is totally free of worry.. His sense of psychological survival does not depend upon this or that happening..In finding himself, he discovers a magnificent truth that " He is not at the mercy of anything in this world"....
