“In yoga, you do not chase experience, you only prepare.” Most people who have a spiritual experience, are unable to sustain it. They go up briefly, then they crash back down. They’d rather jump than build a staircase. People love to talk about their jumps. They don’t love to build a staircase. It’s not nearly as glamorous. But every day you do your Kriyas, every day you do your yoga, everyday you do your practice, everyday you humbly prepare, everyday you build your stairs, without expecting anything to change, but knowing one day, that you might open your eyes, and realize nothing is, or will ever be the same. A house isn’t built overnight. When you hammer one nail into a piece of wood, it seems like nothing is happening, but if you do it day after day, piece by piece, nail after nail, eventually you have a house. Or you can compulsively drink, smoke, hump, snort bumps, eat junk, shop, watch, play, make business calls all day, ball, scroll until you find the next trend, looksmaxx until you look like Ken, buy a Barbie doll girlfriend, post about all the money you spend, jump and come down, jump and come down. Or you can humbly do your Kriyas and yoga, day after day, and build your staircase one step at a time. My tweets are long - even though attention spans are short - because the staircase is long. This applies to every area of life. Did you go to the gym every day, or did you get liposuction? Did you do a crypto rug pull, or did you build an honest business? Did you take molly at a rave one night, or did you do your Kriyas and yoga every day, until tears of joy streamed down your face? Get your followers, get your engagement, get your money, get your power, get your status, get your sex, get whatever it is you feel you need to get next. You don’t have to do the work to build the stairs, but don’t delude yourself or others into thinking jumping will let you stay there. That’s what turns people away from spirituality. They can sense that you’re talking about somewhere that you’re not. I know I’ll make the jumpers defensive and uncomfortable, because when I first learned about the stairs I was defensive and uncomfortable, and there’s days I still want to jump, and sometimes I do, but you always have to come back to the stairs, because in the end, what’s the most direct and sustainable way to get up there? What else is there to really do? It might not be as glamorous, it might not be as exciting, there might not be any fireworks, trumpets or horns, but you will slowly build up to a certain level, and when you get there, you won’t fall because, you went up on the stairs.
