Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 53
When your intellect, tossed about by the conflict of opinions, has become unmoving and firmly established in the Self, then you shall attain Self-realisation.
Steady focus eventually outgrows the need for every prescribed ritual.
As real practice deepens, the outer forms that once mattered so much start to loosen their pull. What settles in their place is a steadiness that ritual was always just pointing toward in the first place.
