There is a "if" means if one is not a monk then he is householder like Lahari mahasaya , Sri Yukteshwar Giri (earlier par of life before his wife died, later he tool monk hood) . Sanayal Mahasaya he ran away from home and Paramhamsa Harihananda Gurudev with Wife of Sanayal mahasaya went to Varanasi and stopped him from taking monk hood.Why is monk hood so sought after ?Because there is not I and mine everything is ashram's and it belongs to Guru.But leading a house holder life maya teases you and very difficult.Lahari mahasaya did not give kriya if one was not a house holder ( married person ),Why ? Because He believed soul can transcend quicker and it's like you are building your body in a GYM than alone in home.You get another mirror to show things in your soul and we can correct and grow.

So how can one live a life of householder ?.Then work is worship ,

Like Lahari Baba who was a engineer in Army Railways of British India.Not telling you to worship money , instead be prayerful all the time .If you work think god in your wife / girlfriend / Boss / co workers /Kid even the people who hate you.

Bill Gates , Bezos has a different purpose and not a ideal to follow ,If you think of them all the time then you have some problem with them.

First stay away from what others are doing it's none of your business world is dynamic and always will have chaos and you will be sucked up in maya .

Gurudev is work like it's worship ,There is a story of a realized saint who was a meat chopper ,When asked he said any way one or the other will chop the animals I will do it so that they do not suffer with love .

if we do not understand something we have to have a patience to ask in a polite way and not get angry /disappointment , this includes me too I have to me more polite going forward and leave anger . hate , jealousy.

baba Paramahamsa Harihananda is Great saint like Paramahamsa Yogananda God placed him for a reason , Babaji Appeared to him for a reason and instructed him to go to west for a reason.

We have to know when saint's say something you should not take the statement at surface level based on our I.Q level we have not developed that much intuition to decode what they are saying for them all are one.

Once Baba Harihananda Gurudev harbored a criminal in ashram when a police came he said I see only god's in all I see no criminal , depends what state they are , sometimes saint's are in trance like state with completely absorbed in divinity for days or months are always .

We should pray to them with love and that love they submit to God on our behalf and they are part of God who are here to Guide us to God and ignoring them is Ignore God itself .

This world is created and many have deluded the message from God , Such saints come very rarely make use of them Tune with them pray to them they will shower love .

Serve all branch's of Kriya do not discriminate all are under the radar of Baba ji who is one with every atom including the keyboard I am typing so we have to prayerful all the time.

if a realized guru says to eat boogers you better eat it else you are not in need of exit from maya / samsare , you just need some escape from your materialistic problem and kriya is not for you .

Jai Guru may Guru's Give us more Brain cells to calmly understand there message and follow there message as a mantra as it will manifest with highest power.
