Knowing God Is Not the Same as Practicing Techniques

from Paramahansa Yogivah Giri Satsangs Hosted by Paramahansa Yogivah Giri

In this satsang, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri speaks about the purpose of meditation and the difference between kriya techniques and direct realization. He reflects on the need for proper instruction, the limits of repetition, and the risk of trying to teach before one has true understanding. He addresses common misconceptions about kriya practice and reminds listeners that what begins after the kriyas ends is most essential. The talk also touches on the function of grace, the meaning of kutastha, and the distinction between imagined knowledge and actual perception.
