PREPARATION TO KRIYA YOGA
6 sections
§1
The question from several people
Book 1 · Who can practise; preparation and readiness
I’ve been asked by several people that how they can help newcomer to prepare for learning Kriya Yoga.
§2
Answer: no preparation for Kriya Yoga, prepare yourself
Book 1 · Who can practise; preparation and readiness
My answer for them is: first prepare yourself. There is no preparation for Kriya Yoga. First thing, which everybody must have: they must be very honest with themselves, they should have very honest approach towards spirituality, and they should be courageous enough to face themselves.
§3
Money and spiritual information
Book 2 · Guru and disciple: trust, duties, money and what a guru is Also: Religions, history, society and science
If somebody is asking a lot of money or something – it means he’s not giving you spiritual information, he’s simply petering the name of spirituality; I mean they don’t go together- this is what my lineage has taught me.
§4
Honesty and the courage to face yourself
Book 1 · Who can practise; preparation and readiness Also: Living well: emotions, love, family, work and money
So first thing for the Kriya yogi: he should – or she should be very honest with herself or himself and the people around them. Then they should be enough courage to face themselves; I think that is the most difficult thing – to face yourself. We are not ready to see ourselves: that’s why we keep going out, try to be busy – so we won’t be able to be alone in our own company.
§5
Ambition, Samadhi as a new chapter, and the simple person
Book 1 · Who can practise; preparation and readiness Also: Samadhi and the awakened states
Third thing is: the person should be very ambitious and his purpose should be very clear that how far he want to go. How ambitious he or she is to achieve the last results of practicing Kriya; of course that is Samadhi – but then again I will say: Samadhi is just the beginning of another chapter. The journey continues even after achieving Samadhi. And of course – he must be a simple person. Nowadays in this mundane world to find a simple person is a real miracle. You have my best wishes: if you’re aspiring to learn Kriya yoga – look yourself in introspection and find out if you’re honest enough and if you’re brave enough and if you have enough ambition and you have dare to dream – yes, I must achieve self-realization one day – dream big and go on!
§6
Rule: one place, no travelling, free access
Book 2 · Guru and disciple: trust, duties, money and what a guru is Also: Guruji's life, the Darshan room and humour
And also it is my rule: as my Guru was living the same – I’m also staying in one place. Any aspiration in the whole world – they can find me because I never travelling. I don’t think I’ve ever give permission to anyone to prepare people so they can come to me and learn Kriya yoga. Anybody is absolutely free to come to me – if they are honest enough, if they are simple enough, with the open heart and with the very big dream to achieve the spirituality and brave enough to face themselves. Thank you!
