Guest guest Posted January 11, 2000 Report Share Posted January 11, 2000 Sat Nam all, I would like to know how important the spiritual master in Kundalini Yoga is? How can a master influence our spiritual progress? I know we have to tune in (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo) to get the connection with God & the lineage of "Kundalini Yoga masters" from the past and present (Yogi Bhajan?!?) but what's going on further? And my last question: To gain progress is it necessary to surrender to the master...and how can a low trust in the master affect the progress?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2000 Report Share Posted January 11, 2000 Dear Pal, I have answered some of your concerns below. I'm not totally sure where you have concerns, but I will share my thoughts. Sat Nam Brian -- >I would like to know how important the spiritual master in Kundalini Yoga is? I feel that all the knowledge of the ages is passed on through the Master. I feel it is either use their knowledge or spend 10,000 incarnations figuring it out for ourself. And my last question: To gain progress is it necessary to surrender to the >master...and how can a low trust in the master affect the progress? We need to surrender to God. The master is a guide. We should only follow someone we trust and respect. For me that is Yogi Bhajan. The message is important not the messenger, but I assume we should show reverence for the gift he is sharing.

The worst of them is probably to idolize your teacher. Any good teacher will tell you that you cannot live vicariously. You have to go ahead on your own instead of stopping at the feet of your spiritual teacher. If he tells you to surrender to him instead of your higher self, he is not a teacher. And I certainly hope that is not what you understood you have to do... "If you cannot find the Truth right where you are, where do you expect to find it?"
