But what do others have to grab on to experience and reach these finer, subtle states? They must look for the spiritual technology which induces these experiences. For this they need to find the help of a guru who can teach such things as the iam and kriya techniques. We are much blessed to have them and it is in our interest to make use of them. The potential is there but the seeker often stops along the way for entertaining spiritual scenery while missing the taste of the juicy fruits that lie on the trees of fortune.

Jitendra, I have heard much talk here of the benefits of having a guru and learning an assortment of techniques from them. Do you not think, a person should enjoy the spiritual journey and what they experience along this path of enlightenment and not just to rush towards the goal while missing out on the blessings along the way ? It is like taking a walk in autumn, and not enjoying the beauty and the sounds of fall, but rushing thru the woods to get to the pumpkin pie and hot apple cider ~ translating from a spiritual example to an earthly one, but same meaning.

There are many more beautiful places beyond this earth with dazzling rainbow rivers, seasons that change that bring beautiful snow that does not melt into messy puddles. Places where we can meditate and enjoy the beauty of nature without mosquitoes and biting flies and snakes that incur suffering if we by accident get in their way.There are astral realms where music is heard coming out of the ether.
These little pleasures are O.K. that you speak of.....although when we can possess the universe why should we satisfy ourselves with only a solitary walk through nature? Why should we be forced by material desires to come back to this earth?
There is no apple cider or pumpkin pie where i am speaking of but rather the ambrosia of bliss and the nectar of the Gods to satisfy our taste buds. The ever new bliss of joy the all caressing and expanding heart feeling of love.
The gardener soon comes to till the plants. The harvest is ready and i for one want to be there where life is sweet and death a dream. Where joy is sweet and sorrow a dream.....
