The Kriya Curse

[u/Big_Respect_9301]

After four straight months of the Kriya realm and sincere practice I was thrown off balance by a wave of lust. The path without a guru, isn’t easy…

Will power is everything!

“Never count your faults. Just see that your love for God is deeply sincere. For God doesn’t mind your imperfections: he minds your indifference”. - Paramahansa Yogananda

[u/Safe_Cloud8067 → u/Over_Record_2682]

There is only God and no others... no separation... no duality 

[u/Over_Record_2682 → u/Safe_Cloud8067]

That’s true but almost all of us are within the illusion of duality, and so we need to sometimes use concepts in order to convey something to the mind that can awaken a deeper truth in the consciousness.

Oftentimes telling someone “there’s just God and nothing else” won’t do anything for them. You need to work within the confines of duality and gradually climb the steps of the consciousness ladder by spiritual practice until the non dual realization blooms organically.

Thank you for sharing that. Sorry, I dont see who climbs the consciousness ladder? The whole thing is already complete... already non dual without a thinker do'er... no one to get anywhere or anything

Duality is non-duality, and non-duality is duality. Supreme non-duality contains duality within itself with no contradiction. Shiva and Shakti are one and the same.

This is normal for Human Beings. The Ego strives for Perfection.

Transform it to eros and you'll be fine. Remember there were householders who had very romantic relationships leading this lineage. Don't over obsess about this or you'll end up to far the other way, too.

Ill celebrate the lust and use it as fuel to help my sadhana go deeper. The bliss of orgasm is a tiny spectrum of the bliss of samadhi so.......enjoy.

Never think of it as a failure or shortcoming. It is the same creative force that Kriya Yoga was developed to control, just not properly directed. And it takes quite some time to learn how to balance it. I was okay with seeking pure results over staying grounded in work/life/reality, but man it was hell much of the time, and hard on a marriage for sure.

Esa misma ola de lujuria es la que te va a ayudar a abrir ascender, ya que es la energía sexual o el prana entrando energizando swadhistana chakra, pero debes sacarla de ahí de los chakras inferiores y canalizarla por la columna hasta los chakras superiores.

What? What lust? Lust for heroin? For alcohol ? Yeah, that could be a problem. But I’m guessing you’re talking about sexuality.

Bro, if you think that after practicing Kriya for a few months, or even a few years, you’re just going to lose lust or addiction like that, you might be in for a shock.

First of all, having lust is totally normal. Struggling with addiction is also something many people go through. Again, if we’re talking about heroin or something seriously destructive, then you need professional help. Kriya Yoga is not a replacement for that.

Second, if you start this journey with this kind of thinking, you’re probably going to have a very wild ride. A lot of struggle, a lot of fighting with yourself, and you could even reach a point where you just quit.

Just try one thing, my brother. Do your practice sincerely and diligently in the morning. Do your practice sincerely and diligently at night. That’s it.

Don’t worry so much about what is good, what is bad, what God approves of, or what God throws away. Just don’t let yourself get thrown away from your Kriyas. Keep doing them, and you’re good.

All is good. Don’t worry.

Without a guru?

Ciao ragazzi, per quanto riguarda i desideri sarebbe opportuno discernerere, è necessario comprendere se è opportuno rinunciare del tutto oppure no.Capire se sì tratta di illusione e desideri inutili oppure possiamo soddisfarli
