In this discourse, Babaji speaks about the deep importance of keeping the promises we make to ourselves on the spiritual path. He explains that true growth happens when we uphold inner commitments with sincerity and consistency, even when no one else is watching. Babaji reminds us that discipline is not rigidity, but a form of love we offer to ourselves—a way to stay aligned with what we value most deeply. When we honor the small, daily choices to remain present, to stay with discomfort, or to choose silence over reaction, we build the strength and clarity needed for true transformation.
Babaji also explores how self-discipline helps dissolve the false sense of self rooted in ego and habit. By committing to truth, simplicity, and inner stillness, we begin to see through the layers of identification that keep us trapped in suffering. This process requires dedication—not as a burden, but as a sacred responsibility to our own awakening. For Babaji, the heart of the path is this: to live in a way that is true, to not betray our own deeper knowing, and to walk each day with quiet courage and unwavering intention.
