Subject: [K-list] Relying more on God

Dear friends,
I would humbly like to put in my two cents worth, so to speak. I
believe that instead of focusing too much on the kundalini, we should be
focusing more on God. Some disciples told Ramakrisnha that they wanted to do
some hatha yoga to try to awaken the kundalini. He told them no, because he
thought that dealt too much with the body. Some people try very hard to open
chakras and things like that, but a saint once said that when you find God,
you can open any or all of them at an instant. So we should not dwell too
much on things of the body and the kundalini.
My deepest spiritual experiences came when i learned how to surrender
to the will of God, this was well after i awakened the kundalini through
meditation. These experiences had nothing to do with the kundalini. What we
really are, the soul, is far beyond the kundalini. To me a path without God
and Guru sounds difficult and scary.
Personally all i do is lead a balenced life of work and meditation. I
let my guru, Yoganada, and God do the rest. It is much easier to put the
load on God and rely on him more.
As Yoganada says, God does not want you to get mixed up with this dream
of life full of nightmares. Help him to pull you and get you out of it, by
not cooperating with the storm of desires.
Anyway thats all i wanted to say, thank you all for listening.
In Divine Friendship,
Ben
