It has been a long time since I have written on here. Mostly from laziness and the inappropriate habit of spiritual talks with others. One thing I have learnt, that no matter how often and how frequent and how sincere and earnest God or your own desire is to help and bring people to the path of spirituality or help them advance, unless the individual wants progress, NOTHING can help them.
I had a clear perception and vison of this. Once in my meditation, my consciousness was all over the state of consciousness and God said they are all under my protection. They will not be able to make progress unless they truly desire the progress. I will elaborate on it later.

Anyone who has read Yoga Vasishta Maharamayana probably remembers Vasishta Maharaj saying repeatedly, “I am saying this again and again on the top of my voice inviting and imploring everyone to follow the path of spirituality but Alas, no one pays heed! How sad and unfortunate” Even when Rama and Krishna came, very few took their help and took the path of salvation! I know realize that for the most part unless the individual wants progress, and the help is there, they cannot be helped.

The one exception is the will of the Guru. I do know that if any liberated Mahatma or any advanced spiritual disciple makes a will for someones progress, then that progress will occur. This will is independent of the desire of giver or recepient of the grace.

I have been tempted in the past to will for progress for some individuals. However, as I progress, my love for the individual prevents me from giving them what is best for them – spiritual progress. They have been given an individual choice and I will not and cannot interfere unless they freely and completely and truly want to progress.

That brings me to the second part, everyone I have talked with, on surface they want progress. But deeper down, in regions some known and some unknown to the disciple, most of their efforts revolve around protecting their ego, not for destroying the ego. How strange! Yet, in a higher sense, once you walk to the other side, there is no ego to be found! Yet, most disciples are actively and vehemently making efforts to protect their ego!

Anyway, this should explain my absence. I am writing these things for my kids. They will never know their father. Moreover, I was told by Gurudev to write my experiences so it may help others. I do not see anyone right now, who would benefit by my writing. Lastly, I have become bolder because of certain spiritual experiences and I am divinely directed to do certain things. Forgive me, if I offend the ego of the reader. However, without offending, nay destroying the ego, there is no salvation. God bless everyone
