Secretive Approach on the Path of Sadhana: The True Genius of Mahakal
Never share your deepest thoughts and experiences with just anyone you meet. Especially your poojas and the shaktis you worship - they are not meant for the public. Always remain cryptic about your engagements in the higher realms.
Two Main Reasons
This secretive manner is necessary for two main reasons:
1. The Ordinary Mind Cannot Grasp It
Most people around you will never understand what you are speaking of, because the path of Baba surpasses human intellect on many dimensions. Not just by experience, but even in expression. How could you tell your colleagues or friends that you offered sweet milk in your pooja, and as soon as you finished, a dog you had never seen before came and drank it?
These kinds of experiences keep happening - yet society's perspective is so limited that your truth will always surpass their comprehension.
You could say that Vaishnav, Shakta, and Shaiva philosophies all meet at the feet of Maa Mahamaya Adya. But most will not see it - blinded by ignorance, ideological conditioning, and blind faith in teachings from those who never had true experience themselves. That is why they cannot accept it: because they cannot grasp the tattva behind the experience. The essence of it cannot be taught. It comes only from within, by walking the path of Shivnath.
On this path, he expands your mind until you realize that even with all that you know, you know nothing. And one day, that veil of comprehension falls. In surrendering to his feet, wisdom is revealed - an essence that surpasses everything written or known in human history.
2. The Fire of Ego is the Greatest Danger
As you begin to engage with the higher realms daily, a subtle urge arises to share, to prove, to show the world that you are extraordinary. But this is the trap of false ego. That fire can destroy you, leading you onto a false path. You may even mistake your own ego's voice for the command of the Mahanayaka. And once the ego consumes you, all the fruits of your sadhana are reduced to ashes.
In the early years especially, your asana does not yet have the strength to hold back negative forces. By publicly showcasing your practices, you attract such energies at lightning speed. Baba and his ganas will hold you to a certain extent, but if you constantly expose your inner path to the world, one day you will lose that protection. Walking in a cryptic, concealed manner is the way of Him.
When to Help
This does not mean you should not help the truly needy or the righteous who cross your path. Baba himself will send you signs, one by one, showing whose domain they belong to. When it is his will, you may step forward.
The Supreme Authority
Remember: in this vast cosmos, a single supreme authority holds everything together - the true protagonist, the mastermind behind the fabric of reality. The ultimate Mahanayaka.
Shree Mahakal Prabhu. Salutations to his feet, with saffron milk. And reverence to the one who even stands upon him - our beloved Maha Maya Adyashakti.
