Why the Aquarian Sadhana?

The Aquarian Sadhana, done on a regular basis, will change one's life. It is the most incredible discipline I have ever experienced. I believe that this practice will help anyone overcome whatever the challenge.

How does one make decisions? You may have heard, in food terms, that one craves what one needs? But what if one craves a Big Mac? There is a caveat: when the body is basically healthy, one craves what one needs. If not, it craves it's addiction.
I had a teacher who told me that, in the beginning of his journey, he was so "messed up" that he decided to make it his modus operandi to make decisions that were the opposite of what felt right to him.

Faced with confusion and lack of stick-to-it-iveness, a discipline is helpful. Bliss follows. Self-Authority follows. Gratitude is a nice side-affect. One's desires begin to manifest into reality.

Aquarian Sadhana is sort of like that. Who gets up so early and does this crazy thing every morning? Isn't 4 am still technically considered the middle of the night? It sounds like a recipe for a long and exhausting day. And what is Japji? I don't like it.

To the contrary, eventually you require less sleep, and it helps you to conquer the Duality of the Mind- this constant back and forth in this great head of ours that seem to have all the legitimate facts on why we ought or ought not to get up, and so forth. It also helps to conquer the bondage we experience from our limited understanding of Time and Space. It is the ultimate tool for developing our own Command. It gives us strength by starting the day, uninterrupted by life's busy-ness, with our highest Self. The first thing to cross off the "to-do" list: defeat my weak, wavering ass & serve my Greatness. The tone for the rest of the day is set, and our fears are conquered, one by one.

Wahe Guru.
