Great Video compilation. AS a disciple of Yogananda , by proxy I am a disciple of Lahiri and have felt his power and grace. Pranabananda was one of the only disciples in Autobiography of a Yogi who was in the highest state of Nirbikalpa Samadhi. He put in the work as you see. The flood of energy in the spine is kundalini and more. Kundalini is an intelligent force and no one mentions that. We are all capable of sainthood. Go inward and upward. ASK inwardly for guidance and eventually it will come.

Take these older lessons, with a grain of salt.. because we have moved into a time, where THEIR work has made the collective consciousness more accessible to the infinite, as we all move forward as one. This is similar to people who read and quote the buddha who said, it takes millions of lifetimes to attain enlightenment.. and so the student puts up his own roadblocks, conceding to the idea that he has many lofetimes to go...but in truth, he doesn't know which lifetime he or we are on.. so we are stifled. And so the spiritual path is about letting go.. becoming empty, which includes empty of the desire for enlightenment, which is the usual last little bit.. before holy union. .. so they say.

[@angeloiodice9304]

All very true. Vivekananda describes it that enlightened souls in early times were more rare. Like in popping corn, in the beginning only a few kernels pop. But, later, with continued heating, the kernels pop voraciously, simultaneously in the many many thousands, spontaneously. We are in or approaching that era. (I hope and pray)

[@Alex722]

Yes! now we are learning to “bring” spirit down to earth or to express spirit more profoundly. So thanks to all the great teachers of the past and their work, we’ve become more capable of balancing spiritual and earthly aspect of our being. Meaning we can have a normal human life while acknowledging and embodying the light and presence of God here and now. Of course there is some turmoil in the beginning of awakening for each individual, but after a while everything gets smooth and life is lived and viewed in a completely different manner, which gets increasingly more beautiful and peaceful.

[@Alex722]

Challenges always arise, but the response is calmer and inwardly the peaceful state gets harder and harder to be shaken.

[@angeloiodice9304]

@@Alex722 Also, in the very beginning of our spiritual journey, it seemed very important and useful to make changes, to get the train on track in a spiritual direction. In the beginning, moderation in some activities had to be employed. Some activities dragged the mind into dramas associated with compulsions. And, for myself, I had to experience myriad spiritual doctrines, religions, even cults and travel to holy places and meet holy people. Intense prayers and visiting temples and churches and devotions to gods and goddesses were all helpful to hone the mind, and placate the mind, make it disciplined, concentrated, devout, and ultimately relaxed and porous, surrendered. But, all spiritual practices, rites and rituals are a means to an end, useful tools to clear away attachments to matter, thoughts and emotions. Relationships had to be redefined from dependencies, to opportunities for contributions. And, all that spiritual and religious sadhana of the past refined the human system to bring it more into harmony with what is. To make it more and more able to be present, relinquishing allowing past habits to dominate this present moment. All experiences, good and bad, painful and pleasant, seems to have had but one underlying intention. That being to make us more and more conscious and aware and to break attachments. And, we find ourselves here today, like wheat on its long journey to becoming bread. So many stages. The grain planted, watered, broken, sprouted, growth under sun, nutrients from the earth, water, seasons, maturity, reaping and harvest, milling to flour, yeasted and leavened, kneaded, and baked intensely in a hot oven, finally emerging as a finished loaf of bread for the purpose of contribution to the life and health of all.

[@Dharmicaction]

"Final union with the divine" You (immortal, immanent and conscious athma) are already that (immortal, conscious, omnipresent and transcendent Brahman). TAT TVAM ASI (sama veda). There is no such thing called "final union with the divine" which is just a specualtive conclusiion based on avidya and ahamkara which gets caught in opposites like big (brahman)/athma (small), paramathma/jivaathma, divine/human etc.

[@sidneysantos379]

Não concordo com isso e acho que ninguém possui a chave, o caminho para Deus. Ninguém possui Deus. Todos os seres "de luz" que vieram ao mundo, meio que puseram "placas" indicando o caminho - o que é uma manifestação de Deus! Estas placas ajudam, mas a realização de Deus - é o próprio Deus que decide. Não está na mão de outros. Isso já gerou muita controvérsia em relação a muitos gurus... Isso é História!

[@Gypsyalchemy333]

Thats a wasted life right there. Enjoy your carnation in balance; otherwise you are defeating the entire existence of this gift of life. DO strive to eat healthy, strive to be in better shape, strive to be a good person, strive to continue to learn. Doing this will lead to your divine balance. Striving only for divine balance through only seeking divine balance will only repel it further from you. Also, most monks both Christian and Buddhist, they live off of begging to others. This is a ridiculous blasphemy!

[@jesse67347]

The Buddha and his monks ate very little (one meal day) and lived extremely simple, owning almost nothing except a robe and some small items. Because the monks were dependent on the people for their food, they had to interact with them and could give them teachings (spiritual food). It was a situation were both parties needed one another, were mutually dependend on each other and could give to each other.
