We do not meditate, we do not cultivate, and we do not start our spiritual journey without what we call a 'Good Knowing Advisor.'
A Good Knowing Advisor is a wise teacher who knows the way. Simply put, he knows the path so that you will end up at the right place where you want to go. If you decide to go off on your own, most of us—almost all of us—will be off by a mile. Especially on the spiritual path, it is just so easy to go astray.
Why is that?
The number one reason is something called habit energies. We have been transmigrating in this world for lifetime after lifetime after lifetime.
Do not bother practicing on your own, because you will go astray. You have so many bad habit energies that have been accumulated over many, many lifetimes. These habit energies that we tend to repeat lifetime after lifetime. They sneak in. That is point number one.
Point number two: there are also our enemies from the unseen world who specialize in fooling us and tempting us so that we do the wrong things.
This is why a Good Knowing Advisor is very important: because he can point these things out. He recognizes these troublemakers.
You must make yourself worthy to be taught. You are not that important. Don't think that you are so special—there are plenty of people who are better than us, plenty of people.
So, how do you make yourself worthy? By becoming more and more humble. Do not think you are so special.
