I guess we can say shit happens. Swami G used dynamite with me regarding the TM perspective but the dynamite rippled through in other areas. Swami G explains ego is darkness, Sat guru is light. So, it works out to useing what Swami G refers to as a velvet 2x4 = that is what may be needed for the light to illumunate the darkness. The ego may fight tooth and nail to hold it's thrown, but it surely will have no problem holding it's thrown if it is going to be a "cosmic ego" See if you can find any sage like Ramana Maharishi talking about a cosmic ego? Ego is identification with body, mind, conditionings- it is the death of all this, then who you thought you were- gone. When the body is gone, ego, identification , conditionings are gone- is there something left? yes, and that is who you are- it is the eternal IS, - This is generally how Swami G would explain things. So, I think in researching the great masters, they will say that a Sat Guru is needed, and they may say that working one to one is also necessary. Otherwise, when one has some great experiecnes or samadhi, then one thinks they have arrived, so they stop the sadana, then they have stoped their chance at unfolding realization. Sat Guru is One, so if I were to tout anything as part of my seva, would recomend those two things- Any Sat Guru, and then one to one. The thing is this is not easy to find but acording to Swami G, more amd more Gurus are needed today as more and more are haveing spontaneous Kundalini awakenings, then will this be directed so that the greatest blessing in experienced as this is navigated for one;s best interest? or will this go the way of a misguided and therefore misunderstood expereience which can amount to big problems and even hell for a person. There is one Guru posting now in Muktanandas site, he is living in South India and while Swami G has never met, and therefore can not vouch for him, it is looking good so far. The last request I made to him was to please have some of his sadakas forward their experiences. swami G is always interested to come across Sat Gurus because people are spread out all over the globe, some may not have the finances to travel, and if there is someone reputable to send them too, then obviously great.
