Besides regular sadhana, what else is conducive to the attainment of spiritual growth?
'Sathwic' food is conducive to the progressive attainment of the four states of spirituality, viz., salokya, samipya, sarupya and sayujya. Salokya is entrance to the field of Theo-centric reality. Samipya is proximity to the fundamental spiritual substance of the universe. Sarupya is the assimilation of the form of the deity. Sayujya is the liberation and ultimate union with the Godhead.(Summer Showers 1979, pg 93)
