Practice and challenge

Book 5 · Money, work, ambition and success Also: Kriya Yoga practice, Mind, brain and consciousness

Q: what is the cause that to one people some technics of Kriya Yoga are easier than others and to other people – another ones?

Guruji: doctors and scientists say – it depends on genetics and DNA. But with enough practice anybody can be trained to a perfect level. You just need to work hard and be very regular in that.

Regularity and the optimum performance all the time is the name of the game. Never give any concession to yourself. Never feel pity about yourself!!!

Q: in Yoga Vasishtha it is said that there is only two causes to not achieve the goal – absence of right understanding and laziness?

Guruji: I think they go together. Absence of right understanding – only lazy person have this thing. Lack of understanding – that’s why they are lazy.

Q: maybe the laziness is not exist at all – such people are just not enough inspired?

Guruji: there is no challenge in their life.

Q: or maybe there is not right motivation?

Guruji: motivation is nothing. The real thing is to have a challenge. If there is challenge – it will stir you up and you will feel like a warrior and then you will go out to achievement. Challenges are needed!

Motivation is for corporate people. So the company will continuously make profit and they continue to work until they off. For us challenge is more important.

Generally most of the people -we love no problems. We love security, small things, and we are happy with that. And I see no harm in that also – if he is happy then why not, let him be. It is only by fate or destiny some challenges are actually come to face.

And that is your real test – that if you’re able to stand up to the challenge – then a very different level of development begins. It is good to have challenges. And it is very good to relax and do nothing.

Q: is it so bad relax and do nothing?

§2

Practice and challenge (continued)

Book 5 · Money, work, ambition and success Also: Kriya Yoga practice, Mind, brain and consciousness

Guruji: no. I’m not saying it. I’m saying – it is one thing, why not? Today in the morning I remember two lines of one urdu poem:

When you reach a destination or a goal – it is your thoughts, which die. Otherwise the way continues beyond your achievement and a goal. It is one of my favorites.

§3

Imagination and self-position

Book 5 · Sayings, aphorisms and short parables Also: Mind, brain and consciousness, Karma, destiny and astrology

You need to work hard. Put enough effort and ambition to become powerful enough and achieve anything. If something exist in your imagination it existing somewhere. Anything is possible. All that you have – your food, your clothes, your house – some time before it was a part of imagination and took a great power to make it real. Everything starts from the imagination of the mind. I think it’s an idea of creator or society to make your mind busy every time. Otherwise the empty mind could create the absolute dangerous situation.

As a yogi I will say: it doesn’t matter to me, what society or the world is thinking about me. The society or the world should worry, about what I’m thinking about it.

You know the difference between the saint and the sinner? The saint has no past and the sinner has no future.

I’ve never asked for forgiveness from anybody. And I’ve not forgive anyone.

(I’ve never asked for forgiveness from anybody, because I’ve never do harm to anyone. And why I should forgive someone who did harm to me. I never initiate fight from my side, but I m always answer well.)

Everybody makes mistakes. Sometimes mistakes even might to be good entertainment. But only the fool makes one mistake twice.

All of you are so much attached to that condition you call ” normal”, to your comfort zone. But if you want to achieve supernatural results – you can not remain ” normal”
