Buddha taught four stages to reach Realization:
1. Stage of starting on the path
2. Stage of occasional return
3. Stage of no return
4. Stage of realization
When we start anything new, initially we face some hurdles or vacillation and stop that work temporarily! If we start again with determination, we won’t quit for any reason and will eventually reach our goal. There is a transition period for any new work we start or any new venture we jump into, or any new place we go, we face some initial problems until we get used to it. But we don’t give up on the new work, do we? No, we adjust ourselves and get ready mentally to face them.
The tragedy is, the modern man is not often able to adjust accordingly in matters of his or her physical body and cultivate good habits. The reason behind this is that we want to eat foods that taste good and pleasure our taste buds rather than foods that we actually need for our body and good health. Our daily routine revolves around those habits. Such routine looks easy and gratifying temporarily, but inwardly it is harmful and destructive to the body.
