Questions to Gurudev
Spiritual practice is an immeasurable inner process, not a quantifiable study. It cultivates humility and compassion, guided by the principle of non-violence: do not do to others what you dislike for yourself. Techniques like seeing auras are mere toys compared to this core development. Liberation is the culmination of lifelong practice, realized fully at life's end when no new karma is created. In physical practice, correct breathing is typically through the nostrils, though specific techniques may vary. Maintain total devotion and focus in your practice, as you would when driving. If confronted by overwhelming energy during meditation, you must seek to control it, for instance by opening your eyes and moving.
"To see the aura, to do this or that, is all for your contentment. There is an inner process, you know, that you cannot measure."
"Practice and practice and practice. Perfect mokṣa will be the last minutes of life. Because then there is no chance to do any karma."
