The
Importance of Technique
By Paramhansa Yogananda from The
Essence of Self-Realization
I once met a
man in India who had been following the path of devotion for twenty
years. I could see that, because of his devotion and sincerity,
he was ready for an experience of God. But his devotional path had
not given him that experience. He needed Kriya Yoga. He wouldn't
accept it from me, however. He insisted on being loyal, as he thought,
to his own path to God.
It isn't a question,
I explained, of changing your path to God. Kriya Yoga will guide
you toward fulfillment in your path of devotion. But you are like
a man who has lived for twenty years in a room, trying to get out
through the walls, the ceiling, the floor. What I am offering to
do, simply, is show you where the door is.
Well, finally he relented and took Kriya initiation. Within a week
he had the experience of God that he'd been seeking those twenty
years.
Kriya Yoga takes
you onto the universal highway, where all by-paths of spiritual
practice meet.
