Lahiri Mahasaya’s Five Advices for Kriyabans

With elucidation by Swami Sadhanananda Giri (initalics)

  1. Consider yourself humble. You are connected to every soul. Pray and serve and always remember you are small(inconsequential). You are His sevak (servant). You are connected to everybody. It isnot a physical connection but connection of prana.
  2. Regularly do satsangha i.e. regularly associate yourself with spiritual people andread satgrantha i.e. spiritual books (SrimadBhagavatam, Srimad BhagabadGita, Upanishads etc.)
  3. At intervals, meet together and collectively discuss spiritual topics. You can discuss sadhana experiences with your Gurubrothers and sisters only.
  4. Never disrespect any name or form of the Divine.
  5. Every year, for one month, remain away from your house, family, near and dear ones. If not possible for one month; at least a fortnight or one week or minimum three days. During this time do sadhana, kriyas, meditate, japas, etc. You should not spend this time idly or simply in chitchat.
