The Right Path: On Teachers, Techniques, and Steady Practice
A satsang session with a spiritual teacher addressing questions on practice, health, and discipline.
"Therefore, it is very important that we have the right person, the right master, and the right technique. Otherwise, it could lead to depression and many other issues."
"Remain firmly determined and do not experiment in any way; that is not good. Those who have conducted the experiments suffer greatly."
The teacher responds to various questions from attendees, warning against unqualified yoga instruction and the dangers of experimenting with spiritual techniques. He provides specific dietary advice for weight loss, including the Phalahārī diet, and uses the analogy of shifting gears in a car to explain the progressive nature of meditation practice. The session covers themes of purification, steady practice, and the importance of a correct guide.
