My greetings to all my friends. Friends, many of us are fascinated by spirituality. Friends, I understand that this happens to many people to a greater or lesser extent. Only a few people have a fascination with divine power and nature. Sometimes it continues to grow since childhood. We feel good in the company of trees and plants, with animals. We want something, but we do not understand what we want. Sometimes there is a feeling of happiness for a few seconds, but without reason, that joy disappears and does not last. We keep thinking, What is this? Why this to me?.

Can't understand anything. And this begins our search for a guru or guide. And he doesn't get it. And if found, he is also a fraud, then disappointment. They get worried and search here and there. Friends, my condition was also similar. I started doing some meditation myself. By reading something like this, hearing it from someone, watching a video. Friends, I am telling this so that someone understands the right way before doing it. I am not saying that it is wrong to do this, or that it has no benefits. This is very good and its benefits are countless. But I am telling about my mistakes. And I am talking about how these can be improved. So, I started doing meditation, pranayam etc. myself, due to which I got into more trouble. Because I started doing Pranayama, meditation etc. a lot.

Due to this, instead of getting benefits, the possibility of loss started appearing more. Perhaps something might be going wrong. Since there was no guide, some mistakes were being made. Friends, this is my experience, I used to meditate so much that I did not realize when one or two hours had passed. After a few days, I started having a severe headache, as if someone was hitting my head with a hammer. This kept happening again and again. And one problem I faced is the mind. Instead of controlling the mind, tremendous lust would arise in the mind and it would become difficult to control it.

Friends, I was very troubled by this. At last I gave up this search. Then everything got better, the pain went away. After some time, I met a person, because of whom I started doing meditation, pranayam etc. in the right way and in the right quantity. I cannot tell his name or address, because I met this person in the forest of Uttarakhand. I have a friend from Uttarakhand, I went to his village. Just like that he said, you will like my village, so let's go. So I went, one day and night, while chatting, people started talking about that monk. I felt very attracted. So I expressed my desire to meet him. So he said this is difficult. Because, these sadhus do not stay at one place nor do they have any house. They roam in the forest. But they live in the forests around our village. Bal is celibate, it is difficult to find him. And there is fear of wild animals also. I told my friend's uncle and elder brother, let's try. Three of us, my friend and one of his brothers, set out early in the morning to search for that sadhu in that forest. I had heard from the villagers that these sadhus are not found at one place. He is very knowledgeable and also understands the language of animals and birds. Is. They keep roaming in the forest. It was very difficult to find where. When we came out of the village, we met a man, we asked him about the sadhu. He said, "Brother, it is very difficult, but just a little inside the forest from this road, there is a hut of a man.

He knows a little about them." We kept walking, after some time we saw that hut. We went there. When we went, the man was not there. We sat there for a while. After five minutes the man was seen coming. He had gone to the village to get some important things. We asked him about the sadhu. He said that he showed me today. Not given. But if you have to meet him, then you can find him there by going down a little between those two hills. That is his favorite place. I cannot say for sure, but you can meet him there. Now a big problem has come, because This hill is big and the path is through the forest. It was very difficult for us. We asked the man to come with us. He did not say yes, after paying some money he agreed. We spent about an hour climbing up and down in the mountain and forest. Reached there. The man showed us the location of that sadhu from a distance and he went back. If we went a little further we found that sadhu. It was a small cave-like place in the mountain, only one person could sit, it was not very big. We greeted him. He welcomed us with a smile. He asked the reason for coming to this forest. We said that Maharaj has come to meet you. Long white beard, dazzling eyes, a different joy on his face and only a cloth around his waist. For some time, I could not understand what to say or ask after seeing his brightness. After some small talk, I asked about meditation and pranayam that arose in my mind. I asked about my problems. He said, 'You people are family people, so you should do all this with proper understanding and guidance, otherwise this problem is sure to happen.' Ifyou have to walk on this path, then your getting up, sitting, walking, eating, your It is important to behave very thoughtfully. Eating makes us happy, so we have to choose our food very wisely. Only then can the mind remain calm.

He talked a lot about the method of breathing and explained the method of Pranayama. And told about meditation. Do not force meditation, and start with small methods of meditation, etc. Family people should move forward slowly. One should not run after any power. He explained one or two meditation methods to me. My mind became very light and the fear went away. Now I started feeling a different confidence. They were very happy to meet each other. He asked about me, I am from Maharashtra, when he said, "I had come to 'Kumbh Mela' in Nashik, Maharashtra." Your status is very good. Many such things happened. I took out my phone to take a photo, but he clearly refused to take a photo. And where "Please do not take photos of me or this place." We said sorry, and kept the phone inside. After about an hour we left from there. But we lost our way in the forest, not knowing where to go. After about half an hour we found the trail from where we had come. A sheep herder boy showed us the way down. We reached home, but with a different joy. With happiness. Friends, this is my experience, if you like it then please comment. Thanks for reading.
