Befriending your own spirit: its name, introduction and company

The beauty and power of kriya yoga is that immediately after diksha you will begin to experience your immortal substance. But seeing is one thing, and becoming friendly and intimate with your own Atma , or your own soul – is something different: it takes time. You see somebody, but it does not mean that you are great friends, suddenly simply by seeing. To become intimate with your own immortal substance requires a lot of practice. The more you see somebody, the closer you become to that person. You should be comfortable together — you and your immortal substance, and that is a rare phenomena.

So I’ve given this brief introduction just for the information for a true seeker. If he is committing himself to kriya yoga practice, he should have a very clear vision of how far he will have to go.

And after reaching the spirit, the spirit will introduce you to your Pranas. And with the support of Prana when you walk with spirit, then one day you will reach Paramatma lives inside our heart which has been told by all scriptures and Gita So this direct way, First to spirit, then with the help of spirit to Paramatma

say explore the life itself. Then after much exploration you realize because spirit came down life was brought by the spirit. So your attention will go to the spirit and ultimately go beyond consciousness and all the physicality. You will begin to start uh trying to communicate with the spirit which comes from the other side. Nobody knows who created them and what is their true nature. And if your approach is just right, it may accept you as a friend and it can tell you so many things and your wisdom will be very high. Very high. Think of that. >> Yes. Wow. Wow.

>> Who am I goes a very long way. Yes.

GIVING UP YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL

Only Kriya yoga claiming for self-realization. All others aim to invoke certain power or certain spirit or certain god. Your personal progress is not there.

So that's why there's no need to live long – if you invoke someone?

Guruji: You will be depending on that, forever. And forever is a very long time. I keep saying that billions of years old spirit is already inside you. Invoke that and make it your friend!

But it is much more difficult to invoke

Guruji: Yes! To create interest in that – that it will start talking with you.

But if you invoked some powerful spirit and he did something for you: you cannot escape?

ASSUMING GOD – A FORMULA

Take God like a mathematical theorem: assume there is a god - then find a formula, work it out and reach the conclusion. And keep practicing Kriya yoga: regularity is the name of the game. When your spirit will become your friend – then spirit will directly introduce you to god.

Answering question of whether it is ok to address me mentally - it’s ok to talk with your Guru– you can relax, you’re not disturbing me or bothering me at all. So: remain fit, remain very regular in your practice: you’re doing good. Blessings!

Kriya Yoga

what Kriya yoga is for?

Guruji: I will say as a Kriya yogi myself that Kriya yoga or yoga – for that matter, hatha yoga- the main aim of it is to know your spirit, which is immortal substance inside your physical body: physical body which is a combination of five elements and it is spirit which keep them together as long as it wants to keep it. Spirit come from the other side and after physical death it goes to the other side.

So the main aim of yoga or Kriya yoga is to make your spirit your friend and, because spirit is from the other side – the spirit will tell you so many things, it will give you great wisdom from the other side which simply reading some books never will give. First true experience will come only through your own spirit. When the yogi reaches the certain level, after he has found the good Guru, who is really well-wisher to the seeker, he guides him to a certain level – to the level the spirit becomes a genuine friend of the yogi; then we say – the spirit becomes a Guru and the mind become a disciple. The real learning and the real wisdom begin from that point.

And again I will say – some people may like it, some people may not like it – even seeing god face to face is part of yourself realization. After seeing god face to face you will say: yes, I have seen god. It will become part of your self-realization and the thing needed now is to think very deeply on this word – self-realization.

The more you will discover yourself – the more you will realize yourself.

Many people, especially modern people – they approaches that they are just after learning different technics. As a yogi I will say that yoga demands very strict discipline and yogic way of life. Until unless you will live yogic way of life – simple knowing the technic will not give you much result. Receiving the technic is one thing; and then you need very strict discipline and yogic way of life to master that. Only mastering certain yoga ways will enable you to realize your own spirit and then after both it will become your friend.

what does it mean: yogic way of life ?

Guruji: yogic way of life is: I will practice it all my life to the best of my ability, I will keep it a secret – because it is not a knowledge for a common man, who doesn’t want even to know about it – why you should go out and tell them these things? All general knowledge is available, if he is a seeker – he will try to find it.

Also reading 1 part of Bhagavad Gita every day is very important, because Gita is a book on yoga, which is written under every chapter. And also the basic character of a yogi is known that he respect a married woman, who is married to another man like a mother – because that woman will be the mother of that particular family for generations and generations. I don’t think anybody would like to know or will be very happy to hear that his grandmother was in affairs with several people. I don’t think – even for very liberated people it may not be a good feeling to know that.

And also I think it is a good discipline in the society – at least a yogi should care this much for the society. This is yogic way of life.

In almost books on the religion – it means on every religion – we read about that god created this, god created that, the whole creation was created by god – but I’ve never come across any account that god created a souls or spirits. We need to do some research, who created souls. It is nowhere mentioned, and the true nature of soul is also nowhere mentioned: that’s why yoga becomes even more important. Yoga is the only way which will make you realize your own soul.

so when we leave the body?

Guruji: the consciousness is leaving. Even scientists are saying that we hardly using 3% of our mind – rest is dormant. Yoga maybe the only one to awaken it.

we lose all our energy?

Guruji: we’re not use this word –“energy”, we use the word “breathe”. Because breathe is the only energy that we have. And it is connecting your physical body with the spirit inside. If you use your breathe intelligently – you will discover your spirit on the other side. Then another relationship will begin.

In “Gorakhbodh” we’re discussing these things in detail. Fantastic thing Guru Matsyendranath says: “time will come, Gorakhnath, when your spirit will become the Guru and your mind become the disciple; - then true union and knowledge will begin.”

I maybe the only yogi, who is saying – make your spirit your friend, by making your breathe your friend. Friendship is begin.

I will give you the definition of nirvana in the twilight language of “Gorakhbodh”: simply dying is not nirvana. Other people say- oh, he attend nirvana – no. Attending nirvana is when you achieve immortality, you achieve immortal body – then you decide to leave it: then it can be called nirvana. Not before that. It’s very high indeed.

For a sake of discussion: Buddha notice the sick man, old man, dead man and a monk. He went find a cure for a death, old age and sickness. And these three things he was ever not able to discover. He was sick, he grew old and he died. Very simple observation.

how we can connect with the cosmic consciousness?

Guruji: first you need to connect with the consciousness of this planet. Step by step. When planet will accept you – then it will take you further. Without connecting to the Earth you cannot directly connect to the Universe. The more you will feel connected with the Earth – more you will feel connected with the nature. And it will become naturally.

TO KNOW THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT

You became aware of the name of your own spirit. Did it happen when you came back from Sarnath or were you still there then?

Guruji: I was still in Sarnath.

Were you doing exercises that evening?

Guruji: With mudgars. Suddenly I just became aware of the sound and heard the name very clearly. It was like a musical note which lasted for maybe 8-9 minutes. 5-9 minutes – I cannot put an exact time on it. Very distinguishable notes. Then I heard it several times more and realized that it was the name of my spirit.

Who was calling you by this name?

Guruji: Not me – my spirit was called.

Was the spirit announcing its name to you?

Guruji: It could’ve been – but it wasn't like letting me know it – but I heard it; maybe somebody was trying to call my spirit and I heard its name because I was in a very concentrated state, moving two mudgars simultaneously.

I’ve realized whenever you’re reaching a very refined level of concentration – something always happens. That was that moment – and I’ve heard it many times since then.

Under what circumstances have you heard it later – also in a moment of doing exercises?

Guruji: Not always: it started during the exercises, when I moved mudgars; but then I became aware of it in my regular practice. The first time I heard it – I was not aware of the fact that this sound is the name of my spirit. After 4-5 times I realized that this was its name.

When you are exploring the astral world – does the awareness of certain entities and beings also come, are they naming themselves in the same manner?

Guruji: Most of the initial exposures were connected with the earth-bound spirits: they usually go by their earthly names, it is much simpler that way.

Are there any experiences of encounters with the spirits of the higher levels, whom have real spirits’ names?

Guruji: There are some, yes.

Are some of these beings coming to the smashan?

Guruji: Some beings are maybe living here. After some time I realized that they are pure spirits – because their names are similar. And most of them are females.

If the earthly name of the person is similar to the name of the spirit – what does that mean?

Guruji: The spirit is beyond these earthy names; the spirit is beyond the five elements, and the most mysterious realms belong to them.

And, perhaps, there is no need to try to pronounce these complicated names – maybe their not meant to be pronounced?

Guruji: I tried that – but maybe only a highly accomplished vocalist could do it – it’s too difficult to say it physically, with only the help of a human and a limited vocal apparatus.

It doesn’t even register in your mind for the first time; only after you have heard it a few times – then you begin to register it… it’s a fantastic discovery!

BEGINNING OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP

why we should say mantra before the practice?

Guruji: that is offering your respect to the Guru. If you’re not respect the Guru – you will not respect the teachings also. They go together.

the word “mudra” is the same in yogic and tantric tradition?

Guruji: no, they are different. Kundals are also mudras. You’ll accept – this discipline works: mind begin to be different after that. Description of Hanuman is also: he’s wearing kundals and have slightly curly hairs.

Akhanda mandala karam – an eternal round shape, which is in everything; when it appeared – I bow down to them. The spirit is looking like it. And it will continue to come or not to come – one day you will realize that you want to know your own spirit. Even everyone is carrying – but the real acceptance comes after. Just keep doing it.

Kriya yoga is the only method which actually make your spirit appeared and you can see it; but to develop some communication and develop the genuine friendship – it will take time. First you look at it, then it will start looking at you. Then it will play or test you – it will disappear, no matter how you will pressing your eyes; then suddenly it appears again. Have patience and be regular. Amazing technics! You won the lottery.

can we say that first we see the spirit when he will look at us?

Guruji: yes, it’s a big surprise: that he or she is able to see – that is a power of Kriya yoga. Then it will take a very long time: it will continue to watch you – yes, he’s continuously seeing me – then it will begin to see you, look at you; starting to take you seriously. Then it will play some mind games.

what does it mean – the mind games?

Guruji: it will create so many different emotional trauma: these thing is nothing for them. For us it may be very disturbing.

he will look at us like kutastha after practice?

Guruji: all the time.

how we will know that he is looking at us?

Guruji: you will not know – only after communication.

Your spirit told You his true name for the first time when You was in gym, not in pravtice?

Guruji: any time – whenever he will feel like it.

when they start to watch: what they are expected? Or they don’t expected?

Guruji: something interesting. But what will interest them – difficult to say, there is no pattern.

what happened after, when You have know the name of Your spirit?

Guruji: that is introduction, then communication begins.

You can mentally reproduce his name and call him – or how?

Guruji: no, it always will be a foolish thing. It's a patience game; I mean better to wait for him to start talking. Better not to irritate.

that spirit which is inside us: how he or she recognises us – by the name, given by parents?

Guruji: no, they recognise you by the genetic stamp. This name is nothing.

they recognise the vibration, or chemical reaction, or?

Guruji: it’s a very great power. That’s why I keep saying that journey looks like just started.

in Kriya practice we try to make friendship with own spirit?

Guruji: own spirit, own breath, own mind. Everybody else is trying to control them. To be real friend is difficult thing.

if we can be friends with our own spirit – we can be friends with anyone?

Guruji: no doubt. Who is trying to be friends with their own spirit? They even don’t care for it. That is the big thing.

but people even doesn’t know about it?

Guruji: ignorance is bliss. You don’t have to disturb them also and making them enemies.

It is always very good things to have friends in the right place. Everybody will go cross over; without preparation you will never know, what you’re going to face. It is better to have some very powerful friends there.

We are yogis – so we are already practicing to make our spirit our friend – and only yoga teaches you this. Maybe because the spirit was becoming friendly so he contacted me. I’m grateful for that.

IN TIME

Well, spirit is eternal,

Only in time

you will begin to see the spirit.

Only in time

you will be able to attract its attention.

And with time

you will begin to study its nature.

Only in time

maybe some friendship will develop

till eternity.

YOUR DESTINY IS NOT YOUR DESTINATION

what is the approximate level of yoga practice, when you become to know the name of your spirit?

Guruji: when you have done enough yoga and your spirit is your friend – only then it is introduce you the name. it is impossible to pronounce humanly.

how it can become a friend even without knowing the name?

Guruji: first introduction, let it take notice of you, then, when the friendship begin – it will tell you it’s name.

sound will come – and you will know, it’s the name?

Guruji: before that telepathic communication will already begin. The sound of the name is not possible to pronounce. 5 to 10 minutes long like some complicated musical notes or something.

it requires some quantity of samadhis?

Guruji: let the spirit decide. Samadhi is nearly there.

what changes for you if You know the name of spirit?

Guruji: everything. I’m different person after that.

THE NAME OF THE SPIRIT

You told us that every spirit has its personal name, which is different from other spirits?

Guruji: it is just like: you’re all human beings – but you all have the individual personality. Same way.

some senior spirits, which are guided by Hanuman Ji, - they have the very similar names?

Guruji: they were not spirits, they were siddhis.

their names are more or less similar?

Guruji: no.

where is the difference between the personal spirit and Paramatma?

Guruji: personal spirit will introduce you to Paramatma.

when it could happen – this introduction?

Guruji: when you are ready to be introduced(smiling)

It is a bad habit of human beings to generalize everything – it maybe wrong, not exact approach here.

This is the beauty and power of Kriya Yoga, that immediately after diksha you will begin to experience your immortal substance inside. But seeing is one thing, and becoming friendly and intimate with your own Atma or your own soul - that takes time. You see somebody, but it does not mean that you are great friends suddenly simply by seeing. To become intimate with your own immortal substance so much practice is required - more and more and more. I will say, that the more you see somebody, the friendlier you become. You should be comfortable together - you and your immortal substance, and that is a rare phenomenon.

To make a friend – you need to have genuine friendship in your heart.

Even to your own spirit, to make your spirit your friend. Let’s believe that we’re ordinary people: we might to see some person every day – some neighbor or someone: you can never made this person your friend – but you continue to see him almost every day in your life. Same thing with this – in the beginning you will see it every day. Making your spirit your friend will depend on you. It will affect you, not your spirit. Anytime it could leave the body and take on another. If it become your friend – the benefit is ours.

if you’re practicing Kriya with the closed eyes and see something – it doesn’t matter much?

Guruji: it means a lot of things: maybe your spirit is trying to communicate – they have the different language.

I asked this question in the ashram of Kriya yoga – and they answered me not to pay attention on anything what you see…

Guruji: if it is happening – it is happening because you’re practicing sincerely. That means your spirit is feeling a little bit comfortable and it is their way of communication. But it will take quite some time to understand what they are trying to communicate. The main thing of Kriya yoga ultimately is to have proper communication with your own spirit. Spirit is come from the other side, brings life, then goes back to the other side, taking life. So what your spirit can tell you on the other side – that is the most authentic thing. You can go on listening sermons and reading different books – but it is just hears it; the reality your own spirit will tell you. This is the beginning of communication, so pay attention – but don’t give any reaction to it. That is the name of the game: don’t react, just observe and remain aware; it will become more deep in time. No reaction: because the moment you react your mental state changes, so the communication will stop. We need to be in that mental state, when it started. This is the zero level Kriyaban talking to you( laughing).

on what depends – more powerful spirit will born or no?

Guruji: in this mundane world the power depends on the power of your mind. Same thing there. only your spirit will answer, who create him. When you invoke some powerful spirit – you become his slave after death; but when the yogi invokes his own spirit – it’s another story.

but could my own spirit give the same possibilities?

Guruji: even more.

all the souls or spirits must now true samadhi?

Guruji: no. very rarely, very extraordinary souls could do it.

but all the souls are going to the god

Guruji: no, this must be some misunderstanding. Nobody knows the true nature of the creator or the god. God could be the microbe, sitting in the center of the Earth. It could be smallest of the small virus.

what do you think: the final task for every soul – it could be changed?

Guruji: not for every soul. Some of them just there.

so not every soul has the special task? Some of them are just to be there?

Guruji: yes, just be.

and they have no potential?

Guruji: Time is unlimited, so they are waiting for some potential or some task.

so they could change their task after coming ten or hundred times?

Guruji: maybe million times when they will be aware of some things.

To make your spirit your friend – this is the first step. And when your spirit is your friend – it will introduce you to the god, who lives inside your heart. So it is step by step process. And this is not going to be easy. It is hard work, and the hardest thing is to remain consistency in your practice. Every day, day after day, month after month, year after year with great patience. And always do your optimum and most excellent practice, whatever is being talked. Then your spirit will introduce you to god, who lives inside your heart.

Every religion gives very romantic ideas about god, but when you may see him in reality – he may be absolutely different. Be careful and be ready for that shock also. Most of the religions teach us, that the god lives inside your heart. And what is inside your heart? It is the sealed container of your darkness. And there is blood inside. That means god is living in blood and in pure darkness. And only your spirit can introduce you to god or whatever name you give which is there. This practice will take long time, great patience and force – that is hard. I’m telling you because you commit yourself; right motivation and right information is needed. If you are ready for hard work – that is a very good thing.

are the steps in education very much needed?

Guruji: if you want to have some chip inside your head – yes, maybe you can jump over some steps. Otherwise we are the human beings, we are not the angels from God, not superheroes from other world – we need to learn step by step. I’ve never see anyone with so developed brain to not go step by step and just directly reach the conclusion. We are normal people and we learn to work hard.

so you have no magic pill or magic suit to be superhero?

Guruji: abracadabra – and I’m extremely big and strong. Fantastic perspective. There is saying in America - there is sucker born every moment. And there is always smart man to take care of them, in the name of magic. This is how the world goes on. But that is not our concept.

Tell me one thing: does God care for you, that you come to him? Or know him?

yes

Guruji: why? God is sitting on the other side. Your spirit will go to him anyway, if you follow religious way of life. But knowing him is really hard work. You will have to prove your sincerity, you will have to do so many things just to draw his attention. It’s not so easy. And if god is creating everything – it means he created me. And if he created me – it means he knows me. For me this is enough. If he knows me – this is something.

and who is god?

Gurjuji: I watched one movie many years back. Two clones ran away from some organization, and one of them asked one man – who is god? And this answer I could not forget. He said – god is a guy who ignores you when you need him the most. I’m still thinking on that – and it sounds good to me.

what is the first step in education?

Guruji: first you start believing in yourself. There is immortal spirit inside you – make it your friend first. Spirit comes from the other side. Until unless you will make your spirit your friend – you’ll never know what is happening there. Your own spirit will tell you. Life is very precious, this body is unique – so use it very wisely, try to develop it as best as you can; mind is also inside your body – so develop yourself. Make friends with your own spirit. Develop your consciousness as best as you can. You will know so many things. So many secrets of the nature will open for you. If you believe that god created the nature – then by studying nature you will begin to understand the nature of god. But it also is stepping program. Suddenly it is not like winning the lottery, you will have to earn your money the hard way. It starts by believing in yourself. Immortal things are inside you. Discover them!

HOW TO START FRIENDSHIP WITH PARAMATMA?

when atma introduced you to the Paramatma – you don’t need it anymore?

Guruji: that is final liberation. You can even call it nirvana.

but what happens with the atma then – when it introduced you to the Paramatma?

Guruji: then the friendly relationship will start. Only after that. A billions year old being, whom we are calling atma, will accept you as a friend – till eternity.

so before it is like a Guru and disciple relationship?

Guruji: it is like a job; she is bringing you life and going away – that’s it. Even if it becomes the Guru, then the relationship will begin. She will teach you – or he will teach you and you will be able to be in a situation when you are able to communicate with the higher beings. Otherwise suppose a person will appear in front of you- only 10 billion years old – what you will talk? You don’t know? For this we need development of the consciousness.

yes, it’s very logical: you cannot be the real friends with a person who is working on you

Guruji: yes, your boss is never your friend.

why our spirit is coming to us only once in 24 hours in practice?

Guruji: the body will not tolerate the presence.

From the second level the sort of the effect of viparita karani begins. You’re changing the places of prana and apana; with more practice it will come to pass. All technics are connected together.

I’ve noticed who are practicing proportion 1:4:2 are not looking good(inhale/retain/exhale)

Guruji: I’m sure they are not feeling good also

but after achieving Samadhi spirit is coming more than 1 time a day?

Guruji: you’re becoming friends

and you will be able to tolerate?

Guruji: when you’re on that level – tolerance will be very near. Like a beginner- bodybuilder cannot work with big weights – he needs time for tolerate this and train hard. Same thing.

METHOD

TO SEE YOUR SPIRIT!

Truth is

one, but the knower express it in many different ways.

Sitaram

sa hai- tinki kyo megre nirbhai: means when Sitaram is helping than nothing can

go wrong.

Your

spirit knows you – because it is his job or its job to give you life. In

English it’s a very complicated translation; in hindi we call it “jiva” and

consciousness: together them both becomes jivatma. How we will do it in English

– we don’t know.

my jiva is in me?

Guruji: yes, like butter is in milk – it is

everywhere inside you, everything is alive. And your consciousness is your

atma, which gives you that “I am”. They are together forever – Shiva and

Shakti.

to know my spirit Kriya yoga is the only way?

Guruji: I have been studying and doing

enough research of all the methods which are available; and I think – if I’m

allowed to boast – I may have read almost 7 tones of books so far, which is

pretty much. Nowhere I’ve come across any method similar to Kriya yoga. In fact,

before Babaji gave this yoga to Lahiri Mahasaya this thing was not even

discussed anywhere. In all the philosophy, all the upanishadas, all the vedas –

nobody was discussing that spirit can be seen and you can make friend with the

spirit; - and this is a direct method.

MAKE FRIENDS

I was watching the movie, where one priest was saying: dust to dust and ashes to ashes. This I cannot understand – because ashes created only if you’re cremate someone. From this simple statement of bible I think – maybe they were cremating in old times? Otherwise why it is said about dust to dust and ashes to ashes. You can try to find the answer.

You can effort to behave with love and care.

You told us, that everyone has the own spirit and the spirit has his/her own name; I feel that my spirit is wondering about his spiritual family?

Guruji: it’s just a feeling.

it comes from the past life?

Guruji: from the situation of this life. Your spirit already knows his parents and home address. He is here only for education. And the spirit knows his own name also. When you will discover the name and start talking with spirit, taking his name – then the genuine friendship will start. Maybe together forever.

spirits on spiritual level – they has some family or society with common interests?

Guruji: if you will try to imagine that society by looking around on our society – it’s a very big sad mistake.

it’s useless to create some society or family around you here, in physical world?

Guruji: when you will be creating a family or society around you - spirits are involved even there. I mean it’s up to you – how you feel more comfortable.

That is a fact – you cannot live like Robinson Crusoe. Have friends, have family, create a group or society.

and from the yogic point of view – what do you think like a yogi?

Guruji: from the yogic point of view – yogis are the only beings, which are trying to made their own spirit their friends. Because the spirit is coming from the other side and only the spirit can tell you the reality what happens after death of the physical body is no longer there and everything is on the other side – spirit is from there. So if you make your spirit your friend – it will become your Guru and the mind will become disciple and you will have real wisdom. This is yogic point of view.

that is the difference of yoga, religion and magic?

Guruji: I think yoga is inner magic - if you call it magic. Because instead of invoking some other spirit or trying to control some ghost you are actually trying to contact your own spirit very friendly – you can not control it. Only if it will accept you as a friend – very different communication will begin. And there is no secrets between friends – it will tell you so many things.

START TO THINK "YOU,YOU,YOU…”

How long does the recovery of the first samadhi usually last?

Guruji: 21 days. They may not recover from it. But if they recover – the body still may go in 21 days if it’s not prepared well. That’s why I keep stressing: work hard, very regularly, the best of the best. But such accidents rarely happen. So you’re safe (smiling). In 21 days they become older and older very fast and they lose any will to survive or something. It’s a big shock. The shock will be like that: the person will be thinking he knows about everything and he’s worshipping some idol like the center of the universe and everything; then you somehow make him look at the Hubble telescope to all the galaxies; how will he react to it? That’s how it happens.

To get immortality – we need to induce the spirit to stay in our body?

Guruji: Yes, that’s why you must keep your body in a very good condition. You cannot impress a monarch wearing dirty clothes; and just say to the spirit – “be with me always”. You cannot create the sand castle- you need to create good conditions for that. Simply your wishing and desire is not enough: you have to consider what your spirit is also thinking. Instead of thinking “me, me, me” you start to think “you, you, you”: then some understanding will come.

Some time back we talked about how the spirit may try to communicate with us by changing colors of kutastha?

Guruji: It is their language and that’s why we need to develop more consciousness and become more sensitive to the Paravani – when we don’t need words or language to communicate.

If now he’s trying to say something…

Guruji: No, he’s not trying to say anything now – you just see some of his expressions. It’s not communication; maybe later you will begin to understand that. They’re not in a hurry (smiling).

We don’t hurt him – if he’s trying to say something and we have no response because we don’t understand him?

Guruji: He’s not trying to say anything: we’re trying to understand what he may say. Just one thing: somebody may be looking at him; – how will he communicate, how will he communicate? And he just lifts his hand to scratch his head: and the whole religion will start thinking – he scratched his head: what he was trying to say? What it was – we don’t know that?

What is he waiting for to start communication?

Guruji: If you’re practicing complete Kriya yoga- that is the best of the best qualification. When you will keep yourself physically fit – you will be able to practice Kriya yoga better. They are complimentary.

“Who cares for their own soul? They are ready to give it up. Both God and the Devil are after your soul; nobody is telling you to keep it. As a yogi, I say it is the only immortal substance you have; don’t give away your soul. Make it your friend. It can tell you so many things from the other side! No religion in the world, not a single one, actually tells you or teaches you who created your soul.

“In Gorakhbodh, in the conversation between the two great gurus of yoga, Matsyendranath and Gorakhnath, Guru Matsyendranath made a fantastic statement: A state will come when the soul becomes the guru and mind becomes the disciple. Then the real journey will begin. So, I can guide you to that level and after that your soul will take it further.

“No religion talks about the origin of the soul. Only our line of yoga teaches you to how make your soul your friend. And it may start liking you and tell you its secrets. Why? Because only friends share secrets. The world says you are my disciples but I consider you my friends. Why? Because only friends share secrets. A friend is a friend.”
