Why is there so much confusion?
There is a lot of confusion in spirituality. Partly because of Sanskrit language and the same word having multiple meanings I suspect god wanted it this way , so that a disciple realizes he has to go to a guru for further progress. Take the word kriya yoga ! So many people have taken it …
