Can an individual achieve selftransformation by sheer will-power?Transformation through meditation is possible only when one has deep faith in the practice of meditation. Without such faith, one would not be able to go into meditation. Some people’s faith is spontaneous; in others it has to be created. If faith is seasoned with willpower and continuity of practice is maintained, the way to progress is opened wide.
Practice is an element which keeps the chain of sadhana intact. If this chain is broken, success becomes doubtful. The combination of faith, determination and practice leads to the development of selfdiscipline in a sadhak. This discipline is not imposed,, it evolves naturally. It inevitably leads to the development of self-control. By selfcontrol we mean complete identification and absorption. This total identification is mindfulness in action. Self-control does not mature through mere renunciation or repudiation. Renunciation is also a kind of sadhana, but it is not perfect. For perfection in sadhana it is absolutely necessary to combine control with emotional identification.
Perfect control is possible when the mind is detached from material objects. Or we may put it differently by saying that attachment to selfcontrol leads to disillusionment with matter. The change from attachment to disillusionment is a psychological fact. In order to take away something held by a child in his grasp, his attention is diverted to a more attractive toy or article. Otherwise he would not relinquish it. Disaffection
with material objects also occurs when contact is established with the soul or the spirit of awareness.
