2 Abnegation

Madal: Chinmoy, is it necessary for me to live a life of abnegation in order to be truly spiritual? Chinmoy: No, Madal, you don’t have to live a life of self-denial. What you should do is to live a life of vital purification until you grow into a life of self-realisation and God-manifestation.
