There is a real need for a Guru if we are undertaking a spiritual journey. But before embarking on a spiritual path, we must honestly determine whether we are ready and whether our need for a guru is genuine, as opposed to just an emotional outburst. Ask yourselves this question: “Am I committed, or am I just involved?” We do not need a guru if we do not want God. The complications in life are so great that the poor mind is unable to handle them. When we are moving blindly through the valley of life, stumbling in darkness, we need the help of someone who has eyes, who has been on the path, who has followed it to the end, and who can tell us the right way to go. Guru is not the body; Guru is light; and Guru is wisdom. Light and wisdom are essential in human life. By divine right, the title of guru is conferred only upon those exalted souls who, through their own Self-realization and oneness with God, are qualified to lead others from the darkness of ignorance to the everlasting light of truth. He is a humble prophet or messenger, invested with the duty of showing the true spiritual way to ordinary people. God sends the seeker indirect guidance at first, through books and lesser teachers. When the desire for Him is very strong, He sends the help of a Self-realized guru. There are many who are trying to lead others but who have no right to do so. No one can take you to God unless he himself has found God. The blind can't lead the blind. There is also a difference between a Guru and a spiritual teacher. A teacher is one who has some experience, who can guide you to a certain point, and who is perhaps capable of transmitting some spiritual power, but he would not be a guru. That does not mean that spiritual teachers are bad, but they must recognize their limitations. They must see that they do not have all the answers. There is a need to exercise some prudence to distinguish a true guru from a sea of self-styled leaders. The fake gurus are all over the place, and they can hide themselves very well. It is thus difficult to differentiate between a fly-by-night Baba and a truly evolved Guru. Each one of us is susceptible to exhibiting docile “cult-follower” behavior in the right/wrong circumstances. People believe that “it can never happen to them” because they want to believe they are stronger and better than the millions who have fallen victim to alleged cult mind control. Mind control is alive and well and in many varied forms across many countries. A so-called cult will generally target the most educated, active, and capable people it can find. Such beliefs as “others could be made to do that but not me” and “others could be swayed by speeches but not me” are dangerous. The ease with which this happens is important for both scientific understanding and real-world problems ranging from friends and family in cults to extremist movements. The research by Stanford University, reproduced here, very well proves the same. But there is a great deal we can do to stay safe, sane, and whole and to help the people we care about. Spiritual search is indeed the inborn divine right of every human being. Knowledge and education are the birthrights of every human being. Do whatever we want; spirituality is our inner force, which has a constant pull. This pull becomes very strong at times. So strong that man has no choice. But he will have to make the right decision. Finally, it is God alone who is the true Guru, acting through the agency of souls that are awake in Him and who appear as spiritual advisors, sometimes spiritual masters, for our spiritual ascension—call it spiritual help—once we are ready. This book can be referred to as a spiritual journey book, advising on how do you go on a spiritual journey and safeguarding against cults and extreme beliefs. God help you.

The majority of people believe in the existence of God and follow different paths to realize Him. It is good to have a spiritual belief, but it is not enough. The distance between us and God remains. The confusion remains, and we still, sort of, look for evidence of God. It’s because we haven’t experienced Him. The belief is not fully converted into faith. By working within, strengthened belief leads to strengthened faith, and strengthened faith leads to the actual experience. The twenty-first century calls for new insights into spirituality by analyzing the deepest parallel between various scientific theories and what is experienced by realized masters. People are already realizing that the traditional practices in all religions, in the name of spirituality, are mere child plays and thus cannot lead to the realization. Being in the scientific age, people are now reasoning within and more appreciative of spirituality, when explained scientifically. The efforts of this book are, to transform your Belief into Faith through introspection, reflecting on what scriptures say, and primarily through pieces of evidence that are scientific in nature. Let’s briefly think it over: If lord Rama, Lord Krishna, lord Buddha, Saint Guru Nanak, Lord Christ, Prophet Mohammad, etc. are the Gods, then was there no God before them? And then which God did these very masters worship? Did any of these Masters ever say that ONLY they are the Gods and should be worshiped as personalities? If God is there only in the temples, churches, etc., and not everywhere, then can He be God? It is projected as if there is a different God for different religions. Now, what were the religions before these great masters came? If Christ is God for Christians and not for the whole of humanity without conditions, can He be the Absolute, the God? Same with the Gods of other religions. God, through these Masters, pointed out something, but are we moving forward in the direction shown by these great Masters or just holding on to those symbols and worshiping the hand that has shown us the way? It is important to remember the great masters, but is it helping us realize The Truth, through traditional ways? To worship Jesus, because He is Jesus, is not enough. We need to embrace the universal ideals He taught and strive to be like Him. ​“God is present everywhere, in temples, churches, etc. too, but just going there will not persuade Him to reveal Himself. Churchgoing is good, but daily meditation is better still. We are to do both. Because we may certainly have inspiration from going to church, but from daily meditation we will receive even greater upliftment.” Yogananda Jesus said, “Seek the Kingdom of God”, Which means God is and there is a kingdom also, and it is possible to seek it. The kingdom of God is within and is to be sought only within the soul. We are to seek God scientifically. Just like the fish, which is made from water, is born in water, is inside the water, and is inside the water, it, is not experiencing anything other than the water alone. Still, the fish, if its consciousness gets evolved enough, can ask the question, What is the water? How to respond to this query? In the same way, despite being made of God, by God, we are inside God; God is within, and God is all around. Ironically, we are still looking for God. It’s like God, seeking God in the human form, which has forgotten its true identity. But we are not fish. The solution to any problem cannot be had from the same level of consciousness in which the problem is perceived. The efforts here are to help you realize who you truly are. And the moment you realize yourself, you realize God, there and then. You will realize that ONLY GOD EXISTS and You are that!

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Thought leader, visionary, philanthropist, mystic, and yogi Sadhguru presents Western readers with a time-tested path to achieving absolute well-being: the classical science of yoga. “A loving invitation to live our best lives and a profound reassurance of why and how we can.”—Sir Ken Robinson, author of The Element, Finding Your Element, and Out of Our Minds: Learning to Be Creative NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY SPIRITUALITY & HEALTH The practice of hatha yoga, as we commonly know it, is but one of eight branches of the body of knowledge that is yoga. In fact, yoga is a sophisticated system of self-empowerment that is capable of harnessing and activating inner energies in such a way that your body and mind function at their optimal capacity. It is a means to create inner situations exactly the way you want them, turning you into the architect of your own joy. A yogi lives life in this expansive state, and in this transformative book Sadhguru tells the story of his own awakening, from a boy with an unusual affinity for the natural world to a young daredevil who crossed the Indian continent on his motorcycle. He relates the moment of his enlightenment on a mountaintop in southern India, where time stood still and he emerged radically changed. Today, as the founder of Isha, an organization devoted to humanitarian causes, he lights the path for millions. The term guru, he notes, means “dispeller of darkness, someone who opens the door for you. . . . As a guru, I have no doctrine to teach, no philosophy to impart, no belief to propagate. And that is because the only solution for all the ills that plague humanity is self-transformation. Self-transformation means that nothing of the old remains. It is a dimensional shift in the way you perceive and experience life.” The wisdom distilled in this accessible, profound, and engaging book offers readers time-tested tools that are fresh, alive, and radiantly new. Inner Engineering presents a revolutionary way of thinking about our agency and our humanity and the opportunity to achieve nothing less than a life of joy.

In The Mind of the Guru, Rajiv Mehrotra presents dialogues with several contemporary sages and masters who have illumined the minds of millions around the world. Ranged here are gurus as diverse as B. K. S. Iyengar, who brought yoga from the world of the esoteric to our living rooms; Swami Ramdev, who has democratized yoga via television; and Mata Amritanandamayi, whose mere presence invokes an overwhelming awareness of love. There is Deepak Chopra discussing a quantum healing of mind and body, Sogyal Rinpoche encouraging us to look at death so that we might live a better life and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reaffirming each person’s right and access to happiness. And there is the unique and contrary voice of U. G. Krishnamurti telling us that all talk of transformation is poppycock. There are no grand narratives or final solutions, only guides who can show the way to the light within. Here you learn from voices as diverse as that of Thich Nhat Hanh, Bishop Desmond Tutu, Baba Amte and Stanislav Grof. Underlying the dialogues is their wisdom on how we can make ourselves unhappy – and guidance on how we can turn our lives around to achieve happiness.

Efficacy of Raja Yoga is a book to re-read along with one’s spiritual practice, as with each reading it as if another layer of ignorance has been peeled off, revealing more of our potential.
