In the Nath Parampara- the first Guru, teacher is supposed to be Adinath

You cannot go looking for a Guru with a magnifying glass;

A master may be young, old, male, female, fair or dark.

Do not imitate your own teacher, for you are not he.

A guide is necessary in almost all cases because

Test the master well before you accept him. If there is even a trace of lust or selfishness in him,

You may or may not recognise him but he guides you silently.

If you are a sincere aspirant, if your only goal in life is to meet your beloved ‘Self ’, if

When the time is ripe, the master comes. You don’t have to search for him in the Himalayas.

The one sure sign of a true bhakta is the absence of selfishness.

Only when one has perfectly understood that all that exists is the ‘Self ’,

As you progress, you’ll become more and more morally perfect and so also will your progress

Meditation and practice of moral precepts complement each other.

Feed one hungry man even once and see how much easier it is to contact the Divinity when you sit down for meditation that day.

The actual meaning of the word initiation is to initiate the movement of your mind into the spiritual realm, more than the technique.
