It is very rare to find a soul that is fully committed to achieving success in it’s search for Self. The spirit. I see around me – the whole world being devoured by materialism. Success in money Eating. Fame. Sex.
Few try on the path of God. But even most of those when on the path seek publicity and money. Make it a business. Becoming financially Rich and Spiritually a beggar.
Then amongst those who truly want success get stuck with idolising their wrong concepts and wrong guru. They simply won’t listen to someone telling them the truth.
Beyond that level, those who try – perfect guru, stick to the path, want nothing but still cannot make progress. Why? Their past karma prevent them from doing meditation perfectly. Thousands of such people may try but only one reaches success.
Gita chapter 7 verse 3
मनुष्याणां सहस्रेषु कश्चिद्यतति सिद्धये |
यततामपि सिद्धानां कश्चिन्मां वेत्ति तत्वत: || 3||
manuṣhyāṇāṁ sahasreṣhu kaśhchid yatati siddhaye
yatatām api siddhānāṁ kaśhchin māṁ vetti tattvataḥ
manußyå√åµ sahasreßu kaçcid yatati siddhaye
yatatåm api siddhånåµ kaçcin måµ vetti tattvata˙
Amongst thousands of men, one may try to achieve perfection. Amongst those rare persons that endeavor for perfection, one may actually know Me.
So this is not too discourage any one. But it gives 3 reality checks
1. Perfection is rare. Hint : true gurus are even more rare.
2. Perfection is uncompromising. Meaning there is no compromise in purity. Or love for God. Love for God alone
3. Those who cannot reach there it is due to their own deficiencies not the deficiency of the path of Yoga
I do not call what you see or hear on the internet at yoga. It is something very unique that is given from guru to disciple privately
