Learning from the Master is important
The path of yoga demands a living master.
Yoga extends far beyond physical practice. Perfection requires the practice given by the Guru. Without this, one remains incomplete. It is like seeking a diploma without attending university. Sanātana Dharma is eternal and unchanging. Other faiths alter their scriptures and claim sole truth. Yet God is one, known by many names. The living master preserves this eternal knowledge. Step by step, one must go to the master. The story of the Rākṣasa serves as warning. A boon granted death by one’s own hand. Misapplied power led to self-destruction. This shows the danger of learning without proper guidance. Therefore, practice persistently under the master. Realize the oneness of all through the living guru.
"For that, we need the practice given by the Guru. Otherwise, we will not be perfect."
"If Kṛṣṇa knows, then that is the Gītā."
