“Don’t worry about what others do, whether others practice or not. Your progress depends only upon your own efforts. If you say you’ll stay at this ashram only if everyone is doing their spiritual practice, then you are being foolish - because nowhere will you find a good, perfect place. Everywhere there is duality. There is no perfection at all in this world. You have to do whatever you can for your growth.

Don’t worry about your neighbors, your friends, other swamis, even your teacher. It doesn’t matter what the teacher does. It’s immaterial to you. You practice; you eat. If you eat, you can satisfy your hunger. No one else can eat for you, or enjoy for you. Always remember this. Just mind your business and carry on. Then only your mind will be peaceful when you meditate.”
