Roots are different
The supreme principle is non-violence, which is the highest dharma. Anger destroys spiritual progress, like breaking a vessel of water at the doorstep. Life is fragile and can end suddenly. We must purify our heart and mind to avoid rebirth. Spiritual practice requires the Guru's grace. Techniques and initiations are like a passport; they are non-transferable and must come from one's root Guru within an authentic lineage. Sharing them with others renders them void for both parties. Respect all teachers, but do not mix or abandon your foundational spiritual connection.
"Anger means it destroys everything. How many years we do sādhanā, and if someone says something and we get angry, we destroy it."
"These techniques... my dears, all my kriyās and techniques, if you go away and you give them further, it’s nothing."
