Subject: Thus spake Lahiri Mahashay


…..By regularly practising Kriya, the transcendetal state of kriya occurs, this is the actual Vedanta philosophy. One should realise it by practising Kriya. What is the use of reading books? Kriya only is yajna. Kriya is the only truth, everything else is untrue. Everyone should perform this yajna. The cessation of mind is known as mantra. No one is ignoble, only the mind is ignoble. Narayana exists in all living beings. No one performs anything, God performs everything, a living being is merely a pretext. Make endeavours to concentrate on the Guru-Bhagavan in accordance with the Kriya-code, for this will impart welfare. Soul is the Guru. Kriya should be practised with this type of fortitude-I do not belong to anybody, nobody belongs to me. Is is definite that one day, everyone will have to relinguish everything. It is completely uncertain when and to whom that particular moment will come. Man remains unaware about this but when that moment suddenly arrives, everyone laments. Thus the objective of life has to be set right and everyone then has to aim to proceed towards that destination. In fact, if a person does not yearn for God, the strength to internally invoke Him does not arise. The immortal, imperishable Guru (the Soul) only is the example of causeless love. He is inherently present in everyone always, but even then no one make proper endeavours to find him. A living being is oblivious of what good is, for only after knowing this he will become Siva. Not knowing what good is, the good at times seems to be evil. In pre-trancendental state of Kriya (the state beyond action) when the conation of the inhalation and exhalation of breath does not perpetually remain, the mind should be emplaced there. This aforesaid state is termed to be Bagavan Krishna. The word Krishna infers this aforesaid state only. The state of cessation of inhalation and exhalation of breath which occures incessantly is Pranakrishana. Those who practice sadhana secretly are known as gopis. The secret sadhaka, gopi constantly awaits the manifestation-like arrival of this Pranakrishan in his body-Vrindavana. It is not necessary to seek grace from Guru, it automaticaly comes without seeking if his instructions are conscientiously followed. Thus scrupulously adhering to Guru’s maxim, God-consciousness, semblant of Guru’s advice evolves in ones own still Prana. By having faith in the maxim of Guru and performing actions, one day it will be directly perceptible, this is certain. If mental strength is lacking then it has to be acquired by staying in a place which will impart it. Kriya should be practised there. If Kriya is practised with fear, it is not Kriya at all and one cannot save oneself with the help of that Kriya. Everyone can protect themselves by practising sincere Kriya. Feed the Kriyabans, for by feeding them you will be feeding all gods and goddesses. Kriybans only are devatas, all devatas are practising this Kriya. To attain salvation in this life itself, Kriya has to be practised according to it’s rules and discipline, for them what is prayed for is granted by the grace of the Guru. Those who profess to only obtain bliss and longevity, not salvation, are steeped in deceit. They desire for blessings but it is not to be.
