Weekend seminar in Strilky (CZ) (1/4)
Discipline and devotion are the path to realization, not mere theory or dreaming. Yoga requires strict, uncompromising practice under a master's guidance for a long time. Doubt is a minor crack that creates major problems, and temptation is a heavy obstacle. Many possess wisdom but fail to apply it to themselves, like a full cup that overflows while one still searches. The supreme wish is not for powers but for eternal devotion. When the master's hand is held, all is attained; no further search is needed. Solid trust and daily discipline open the heart's eye.
"Obey, obey, obey your master. You never know why your master gives you these different instructions."
"If I have more lives, then may every life bless me to be your devotee."
