Human life is very short. It is constantly associated with a multitude of difficulties and obstacles. So, it is the duty of all wise and intelligent persons to accept and assimilate the essence of all spiritual practice, like a swan separating the cheese from the milk, and leaving only water. Kriya Yoga is the essence of all spiritual practices and it is the common highway of all religions.
Within a very short time, by the practice of the scientific technique of Kriya Yoga, one can get the simultaneous development of body, mind, intellect and soul. By magnetizing the spine by a very simple way of Kriya practice, one can perceive the all-accomplishing divine energy in the body, which in turn hastens physical, mental, intellectual transformation and ultimately gives constant God-consciousness.
Like any other science, the meditation of Kriya Yoga has two aspects: theory and practice. The theoretical knowledge of Kriya Yoga, one can be inculcated by reading holy books, their metaphorical interpretation by the realized master, or listening to his spiritual discourses. But an ounce of practice is far better than tons of theories.
Kriya Yoga is a practical science. It does not give attractive promises to be materialized in heaven or in the after life. It gives immediate result, direct perception of truth.
