These days, thanks to technology, very beautiful messages come to us, but they lack substances.
By asking ourselves to be patient, to have faith and that everything will happen one day, rather than waking us up, we will find ourselves trapped in a spiritual laziness.
example:
These messages are concocted by people who always want to have worshippers available to fill their places of worship, while the purpose of spiritual leaders is to encourage people to « knock on the door. »
To seek is to have faith. Asking is the understanding to know what one seeks and why before knocking on the door that requires preparations and a sincere need to return to the fold, to the Creator.
Since the true temple of God is our body. Therefore, the true message should rather prepare people to seek God in the true temple, to make the effort and necessary sacrifices to keep this temple alive and clean. By sacrifices, we mean, to respect the injunctions: The laws of earning our bread from the sweat of our forehead, not doing to others what we do not want to be done to us and loving our neighbor as ourselves. To do this, we would have had to have properly used our youth in the preparation of our human person, using the just means that our parents , our natural tutors, would have instilled in us for our physical and moral development, and our teachers or external tutors for intellectual pursuits, both combined, to allow us to conduct ourselves well in society.
Here is where the need for a True spiritual Master that will allow us not to shut ourselves to spiritual truth is felt.
Having observed how Westerners have allowed themselves to be absorbed entirely by morality, and Orientals by religious science.
Both closed themselves to spiritual truth.
The Spiritual Master comes to the rescue to show us how to live a full meaning life as parents, fathers and mothers and as honest citizens.
To this we understand that, it is not necessary to lead a monastic life of retreat and asceticism, the separation of the world in Christian or Buddhist monasteries do not allow us to attain true spiritual enlightenment, to realize the perfect life of true wisdom and power as Jesus internalized and externalized it.
This brings us to prayer.
The true prayer is not to complain or reproach God for abandoning us, to put ourselves in the position that we are always begging Him to give us what he had already given us in abundance when sending us into the world, and that He renews daily , by the blessing of the gift of a new day, a present that we often set aside, to chase after what has passed or, which had not been intended for us, without knowing that in this present, the everyday, is included all that we need for our true happiness.
We were taught to live like beggar princes, ungrateful and arrogant.
We do not even weigh the words we are made to repeat in our prayers, we trust anyone, from the moment it comes to God, as long as we are threatened with hell or a devil, which takes us away from our true God rather than getting closer to Him.
The example of prayer that Christ had left us, which contains only promises and vows we make to God, should be repeated only if we felt able to respect them has been modified several times to accord ourselves to our mores which change every age, but also from bad to worse.
Without realizing it; a beautiful phrase filled with humility and wisdom in (the Our Father):
« And don’t let us succumb to temptation, »
has been modified into a kind of insult to God: « And do not subject us to temptation. » There is even a version that uses the verb » « Induce » which is even more harmful.
Paul the Apostle advises us not to follow fashion, but to correct it, we launch ourselves headlong into all sorts of futility and believe that God will approve of it.
If this is prayer, we would do better to remain silent, because it will allow us to get into the habit of entering ourselves in order to listen to the voice of God who speaks to us at all times, but, that our ears, too interested in listening to the frivolities of the world prevent us from hearing. And if, fortunately, we hear it, fear invades us, believing that we are going crazy, we will run among scientists to hear ourselves say that it is hallucination or things like that. Having not learned to value our body that is never alone, and that this loneliness should be our best friend.
When God says he sends us messengers every time, we don’t believe him?
(Ps82:6) I said: you are all gods; you are all sons of the Most High.
(Ps.82:7) However you will die like men, you will fall like some kind of prince.
Pull yourself together to die like a god finally evolved.
(The Memorandum of God) by Og Mandino/YouTube, enlightens us.

He is saying how he is never alone with his solitude as his best friend , his wife , his god.
So, let us no longer be afraid to listen to the voice of God who speaks to us from within so that our understanding is no longer based on logic and instinct, but that it is our intuitive ear that is open.
I came across this video this morning,
It talks about Nada Yoga.
Listen:
As you will see below, there are 125 forms of yoga that can be practiced, the most important is included in the method that the True Living Master will teach us at the time of initiation.
A Thought of Saturday, August 31, 2019
From: Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov
Our Inner World – more important to us than the outside world
« Your daily life is made up of exchanges with the outside world, but be especially concerned with your inner world, for it is with it that you continually have to do. You are not always looking, listening, touching, tasting something outside of you, while you are always with yourself, with your thoughts, your feelings, your desires: they never stop. The question is only what you should do with them.
As long as your attention and expectations are focused on the outside world, you will have disappointments. Maybe, for a moment, you can imagine that you’re holding something, but sometime later you’ll have to find that you’re not holding anything, everything has escaped you. You are looking for happiness, in search of love,
looking for meaning to give to your life? It is in you that you must look for them. »
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
He did not give the method of introspection because it is not his responsibility.
It is very good to abstain when something is not within its purview so as not to mislead his followers as so many others do, but, it is as well to direct them to someone who can take them to a higher stage if they are ready.
Bagwan Shree Rajneesh, waited until the end of his days down here in January 1990 to tell his followers that there were 125 forms of Yogas, and, he had the wisdom to tell them also that the highest was yoga that can open our third eye , but that Masters who can do so are rare.
Just like Jesus who said:
« If your eye is unique, your whole body will be in the light. »
The main thing is that there are steps to be taken to completely detach yourself from the external things that must be mastered so as not to regret them, because walking backwards is painful in spirituality.
The true masters do not force anyone to come down the narrow path without proper preparation.
You have to be at peace with all living things, and with yourself.
Is this why, The Perfect Masters asks us to refrain from all meaty food, all intoxicating drink, drugs, to lead a moral, honest and high life, including respect in relations with the opposite sex. This, to prepare the body into a temple that can receive the holy spirit.
It’s the famous:
« Mens Sana in corpore Sano »
(A Holy Spirit in a Holy Corp)
After a time set by the Master to see if the researcher was able to respect these principles relentlessly, since it will be for life, only then can the Master agree to his request for initiation if he requests it and on the basis that the living Master sees in him a bre bis marked to integrate his herd.
The initiation consists in restoring the soul of the disciple so that he can walk in the inner spheres and be aware of all that is happening in him, by the meditative method that will be taught to him, and, thanks to the sacred names of the Master which will be conferred on him for accompany him in his daily meditation. Psalm 23 in the Bible gives us the gait.
The Masters do not choose their disciples, it is God who sends them.
The question is: How can we qualify for God to make this mark on us so that the good shepherd of our time, the living Master can recognize us?
As one Persian Saint said, one must desire God for himself, when nothing else interests you in creation, but that the Creator of everything.
You now know that you are never alone.
