Just to know the techniques is not enough. There must be a readiness or motivation to practice and this comes about through being exposed to the obscurations and their effects. It is like being a lotus. Lotuses do not grow in fountains or ponds where there is nothing but clear water, where all is clean and fresh. That most pure and beautiful thing, the lotus, grows in old and dirty mud-pools. Within those beings who are subject to the bonds and stings of suffering and ignorance, there lies buried the seed of the enlightened mind, the great compassion, and it is easier for them to want to unlock it and let it grow because they are directly exposed the misery of its non-development and to the need for the benefits of its growth.

Chakra Images from Chakra Meditation Book/CDAnd so Holy Mother Saradamani Devi said: "Better start by minding your own spiritual welfare. It is too important to be neglected by thinking of other things. Mind your own highest good, for which a human birth has been bestowed upon you. Do not divert your mind here and there in petty things. Life is short; time flies away. Before you know it, the time of departure will come. If you have made a mess of your life by allowing your mind to be diverted to miscellaneous, unnecessary things, then you will regret bitterly, you will weep bitterly.""Therefore, from today I will begin by not finding fault with anyone; I will not allow my mind to be diverted away from the central purpose of my human existence. I must not succumb to this old, inveterate habit of the mind. Henceforward I shall not commit this blunder. I shall not allow maya to direct my mind to anything that is not part of my spiritual evolution. O Lord, help me in this task."
