Subject: Re: When does kriya start working?

I agree with what sundarar and anjaneya said. My question deals with problems that most of us face from time to time. I am an SRF member. The disadvantage with beginners is that we don't have anything/anyone tangible to compare the effects of our practice with. In one of his earlier posts sundarar said that on reaching the higher states he did find that PY was there. PY said:

"Take Advantage of the Power of Spiritual Company

If your spiritual progress is at a standstill, or is ebbing, the practice of meditation on God or on any of the Great Ones, in the company of other devotees, will uplift you from your precarious state. The proximity of others’ spiritual vibrations has the power of raising your own. Meditating with other devotees thus helps you to quicken your evolution. They inspire you on your climb up the ladder of Self-realization; and you, by your example, can also be helpful to them.

I well remember Sri Yukteswar’s advice when I went to him for training. He said: “Meditate with good companions. They will help you to churn the butter of Self-realization from the milk of your mind. Milk mixes with the waters of worldly delusion and cannot float above them. Butter readily floats on those treacherous waters.”
How true the Guru’s warning was! All those who stayed away from the group that I started, even though they had advanced spiritually in Kriya Yoga, later succumbed to worldly influences and to the promptings of their subconscious material tendencies of past incarnations.
Those who stayed with the group progressed in God-realization, because we helped one another in moments of weakness and indifference. An overcast of spiritual lassitude sometimes covers the light of the soul, like a quick spread of clouds over a clear sky. We have to banish the clouds by the sunshine of good company."


Sometimes it is difficult being new to the path, u don't realize whether you are going forward or backwards. I agree with what others had to say about not sharing personal experiences. But things like what did you do to reach the higher states? How long did it take you? Did you have difficulties along the way? How did you overcome them? How many kriya's does one do on an average? Are the results same if you give more attention as compared to lesser attention? Do two people doing the same number of kriyas get the same result? How many weeks/months/years did it take for you to reach a certain state/level?

On another board I had asked, why does kriya work? I got a variety of answers ranging from "it oxygenates the blood..." to "it magnetizes the spine...". I guess some of my questions will be answered as i go along with my practice. But we are all here in the first place, because we are all looking for answers, we are all on the same path; we all have to return home one day. We we all find God one day.
