must to get knowledge

Don't try to receive spiritual knowledge, or transcendental knowledge, very cheaply. Although it is very easy, there is no difficulty, but the process must be known. Just like any machine-we have got experience-just like sometimes our typewriter machine or this Dictaphone does not work. So if we go to the proper person who knows the work, he immediately tightens one screw or changes something; it works. The process we must know. So if I go to a pan-wala for repairing my machine, that will be not good. He does not know the process. He may know to..., how to make pan, biḍi; but doesn't matter, he does not know how to repair a machine. (More...)

Tad-vijnanartham sa gurum eva abhigacchet, samit-paniḥ srotriyam brahma-nistham [Munḍaka Upanisad ]. (More...)
