Many spiritual seekers visit ashrams of saints and sages with the goal of meditating and spending time in solitude. However, often they are taken aback by the service and work they might be required to do there. The mind revolts at this. It feels that they have no freedom of their own there, and have to subject themselves to a very disciplined and rigorous lifestyle. Why should there be no freedom? Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, the revered Guru of the ancient and unbroken lineage of Kriya Yoga represented by Kriya Yoga International organizations, discusses this topic in this video vignette. Paramahamsaji has established many ashrams in India, USA, Europe, and Australia and has dedicated his life to teaching the highest spiritual truths to sincere spiritual seekers all over the world. Paramahamsaji and the Gurus of this lineage have recreated the environment of ancient guru-disciple tradition of learning in the ashrams. Who would know more than Paramahamsaji about true freedom and the path that one must take to get there? Listen to him draw a beautiful analogy of how nature works similarly. Contemplation on the analogy itself will help us understand how the journey to ultimate freedom unfolds.
