The Truth and only the Truth

Yesterdays satsang was a very different issue with a staunch follower of Kriya Yoga who has an able Guru but had no idea how to follow him.

He gave me an idea of the profound knowledge his Guru has and how the Guru spends time for one month in the Himalayas washing off the accumulated karmas that he gathers from his disciples. In that he explained that the place in Himalayas is a secluded village which has all Kriya Yogi's who are very old, even a 275 year old person.

I saw the expression of great reverence to his master and the awe with which he considers this knowledge.

After listening to him for a long time, I asked the satsangi whether he ever questioned his Guru on the veracity or if he has ever visited that place to verify the truth?

I gave him examples of Shri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa and Vivekananda and how the Guru asked his beloved pupil to question him and never take anything for granted.So it is very much required that you, the reader never take anything for granted or as truth till you verify it for yourself.

Remember that is for the mind to verify and ascertain it and once it accepts the said words or actions of the Guru then to go ahead.

But otherwise never to proceed till you test the theory or teachings and get the proof of the pudding yourself.

Here is how you do that.....

First listen to or read the teachings of the Guru or Granth.

Then mull on it, cogitate on it and let the mind grasp the finer nuances of it.

Then apply the teachings in our life and find out the truth.

Get a perfect experience so that you are absolutely sure what you have got is the truth and only the perfect truth.

Here I shall explain how it can be done by an example.

The teacher says that when you mix Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrochloric Acid you get salt and water. Write the formula. Then see how the two ingredients look like.

Then see how the two are mixed together, let the teacher show you the resultant is salt and water. Next you take them in your own hands and start the experiment and conclude it to know the truth.

Till you do not have the real proof, DO NOT accept any or every teaching.

Get the experience and then you will know for sure that what is being told to you is the ultimate truth.
