No Universal Prescription Please

 There is no silver bullet which can solve all the problems. 

Prescription has to be customized. 

Lets take investment as an example someone will say if you are this age  you have put X amount in Equity and Y amount in Debt that could be more of a guideline not a prescription. 

You need to consider the person's financial goal, career stability and many other things like his aptitude for risk etc and give him a customized solution. 


Similarly to spiritual path 

A guru comes and says follow my path and he has a big event having 10k people where he teaches Kriya

After few months how may people will be doing the Kriya and also even if they do it, does that really add vale to their life. 

A guru, let me call him a coach since that seems to be a better term. 

The spiritual coach (or for that matter any coach like finance/ health/ career coach) should first understand his capability to guide and should know the level the disciple is and give a training program at that level and he may have to calibrate the training program based on the progress. 

But if this is not possible, then the aspirant can look for gurus learn from them, also get blessings from them if  he can (since its believed that you need the blessings from Gurus for spiritual progress)

Basically most of the time you may not be able to afford a coach (in many areas of life since they may be costly and you may have to be in a level and then only you can start affording a coach)

So you can be your own coach attend some online classes or workshop and review and reflect and recalibrate. 

May be you meet some gurus in some of your training and after sampling you may decide to go to them for help. 

If they are a good guru they may not give an universal prescription for you, it should be a customized solution. 

Whether the Guru can do that or not is not in your control. 

But you can create your own customized solution and recalibrate. 

Dont surrender to your Guru. 

Your aim is progress and it need not be a blind surrender. 

I bless you have the energy and intellect and grace to find your current customized solution for various aspects for your life. 

With that you can have progress. 

Remember for deliberate practice you need to measure, review, report and reflect
