“Ahamkaram balam darpam kamam krodham parigraham; Vimuchya nirmamah santo brahmabhuyaya kalpate -

Having cast aside EGOISM, VIOLENCE, ARROGANCE, DESIRE, WRATH, COVETOUSNESS, selfless and peaceful, he is fit to become eternal.”

Those who are addicted to sensual pleasures or those who are ARROGANT and PROUD, DISHONEST, UNTRUTHFUL, DIPLOMATIC, CUNNING and TREACHEROUS and who DISRESPECT the Guru, Sadhus and elders and take pleasure in VAIN CONTROVERSIES and WORDLY ACTIONS, can NEVER attain success in Yogic practices.

Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Moha, Mada, and all other IMPURITIES should be completely annihilated. One CANNOT become pure and perfect when one has SO many IMPURE QUALITIES.

Sadhakas should develop the following virtuous qualities:

Straightforwardness, service to Guru, the sick and old persons, Ahimsa, Brahmacharya, spontaneous generosity, Titiksha, Sama Drishti, Samata, spirit of service, selflessness, tolerance, Mitahara, humility, honesty and other virtues to an enormous degree. Aspirants will not at all be benefited in any way in the absence of these virtues EVEN IF THEY EXERT MUCH TO AWAKEN THE Kundalini through Yogic exercises.

Aspirants should freely open their hearts.... They must be frank and candid. They should GIVE UP THE SELF-ASSERTIVE, RAJASIC VEHEMENCE, VANITY and ARROGANCE. CONSTANT SELF-JUSTIFICATION is a dangerous habit for a Sadhaka.

Energy is wasted in TOO MUCH TALKING, unnecessary worry and VAIN FEAR.


May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on.
