Of course you're right, but there is something sweet about knowing that Lahiri Mahasaya did have to ask Babaji, and "gaze beseechingly" (Lahiri's words) when he asked Babaji to lighten up the "strict requirements for discipleship."

No, he didn't literally twist Babaji's arm, as far as we know. But he sure did speak for all of us who now practice Kriya.

Autobiography of a Yogi chapter 34

"'Bestow the Kriya key only on qualified chelas,' Babaji said. 'He who vows to sacrifice all in the quest of the Divine is fit to unravel the final mysteries of life through the science of meditation.'

"'Angelic guru, as you have already favored mankind by resurrecting the lost Kriya art, will you not increase that benefit by relaxing the strict requirements for discipleship?' I gazed beseechingly at Babaji. 'I pray that you permit me to communicate Kriya to all seekers, even though at first they cannot vow themselves to complete inner renunciation. The tortured men and women of the world, pursued by the threefold suffering,7 need special encouragement. They may never attempt the road to freedom if Kriya initiation be withheld from them.'

"'Be it so. The divine wish has been expressed through you.' With these simple words, the merciful guru banished the rigorous safeguards that for ages had hidden Kriya from the world. 'Give Kriya freely to all who humbly ask for help.'
