old3bob Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) thanks, I watched part of it....a reason that it doesn't work for a lot of people is because they are not Sannyasins practicing strict renunciation and tapas while mostly or often living in a monastery under the direct guidance and support of a Self realized Satguru and their fellow monks (or nuns) along with a lot "Hindu" culture that also supports them in many ways...a life that only a relatively small number people are able live . (and sure there are hermits, forest dwellers, sadhu, yogi's, etc (more so in olden days) in a few places that don't have that level of support yet they are Self Realized) Edited December 20, 2021 by old3bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you watch the full video, he covers some basic guidelines for practice — pick a schedule and stick with it pick a place and stick with it pick a practice and stick with it Try to cultivate truth, non-violence etc try to hangout with people who will support each other in the journey …and so on. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
