\u2026Now remember, Kriya yoga is only one aspect of what need to do. Don\u2019t think it\u2019ll happen automatically. That would be like taking one step forward and one step backward. Sort of a perpetual dance that never gets you further than one inch maybe in a lifetime.<\/p>\n

But if you live right, if you have right thoughts, if you try your best to serve others, if you do your best as a human being, then this technique can be the most priceless gift that God himself has ever given to humanity.<\/p>\n

So remember that Kriya yoga must be practiced with these right attitudes. There must be a feeling of devotion and a longing and of perfect self-dedication to God. And don\u2019t think that because you\u2019ve done a thousand, a hundred thousand, a million Kriyas God will be bought by this price that you\u2019re paying. The way to God is not like going to the bazaar to buy a nice dress. God is not a merchant. He can be bought only by love, and that\u2019s not buying.<\/p>\n

So remember, your practice of Kriya must be with that kind of love that you see in the lives of the great saints. And God has disappointed many Kriya yogis who didn\u2019t have that kind of love. However, with the right attitude you can find God.<\/p>\n

And I have been on this spiritual path now for nearly 50 years and I have been amazed with all the thousands of people that I have seen on this path, on many paths, how many on this path are really shining in the consciousness of God. I began this path with belief. Now I can say I have faith in it because this comes when you have experience that convinces you. It\u2019s not just a nice idea. It\u2019s an experience, you see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
