Beer induces a gross materialistic mindset and is incompatible with higher states of perception. If one is aware that they are Spirit then one should also know that Spirit is independent of everything in this world and does not require any experience.
Not pretending to be divine or anything, just not into degeneration or unnecessary headaches and heartaches - which would be the consequence of drinking alcohol for many long term practitioners.
Just because a dog feels good when eating shit doesn’t mean we should do the same. The kind of sex mentioned is only fun at the beginning, like eating junk food, feels exciting at first but the result is diarrhea.
A rush of ecstacy through the spine at the mere thought of one’s cherished lover eliminates all ideas of engaging with anyone else. Having sex with various partners creates energy bonds which may be incompatible with one’s long-term goal and purpose. And if there isn’t a purpose, well, if one can have fun playing this game without a purpose that’s great, one must be quite advanced then. But observation has shown hypocricy to be more common than true indifference.
Hi agree with you Chiron. You are correct. Beer and uncontrolled sex give miseries. And for overall physical, mental and spiritual health, one MUST give up these things.

hello satchidananda,yes you are right bhakti is the highest yoga and the most difficult because it needs sincerity true devotion you can lie to your self but you cant lie to god.bhakti means to love god more than anything in this world see only god and in this materialistic world its something hard to achieve such feeling.many people perform puja recite mantras and do many things to please god but what is inside them at the moment to perform these rituals?only they know.for me the secret to achieve bhakti starts by purifiying your body and mind through satkarmas when you become purified, spirituality arises espontaneously and the secret comunication with god can take place,once that you have felt the presence of god depending on your nature and depending on the nature of the comunication you can become a great bhakta so much that you could pass as a crazy person to other peoples eyes as it happened with santa teresa de jesus or san francisco de asis or many christian saints or as it happened to rama krishna and so many indian saints.aham brahmasmi tat tvam asi
Hello omarkaya !
Thanks for your opinion and taking part on this post.
Yes…I do fully agree with you. In “Uddhav Gita”, lord Krishna says to his disciple (and friend) named “Uddhav” that “There is NOTHING equal to Bhakti”.
I basically belong to India (though right now I am temporarily settled outside India). That is why I have NOT read much about western saints and philosophers but yes, I use to read the teachings of Lord Jesus and always try to implement them in my own nature.
I am heartily inclined to Lord Krishna and when I remember him, I can see lord Shiva, lord Rama, lord Buddha, lord Jesus and all great spiritual souls in his image and this way I read more and more about them and try to follow their instructions. I feel that something is regularly improving in myself.
Most People emphasis on “God is with form or formless” and they argue on this and develop their faith in one or another philosophy and make worldly religions. According to me, that is NOT very important. Important is that we have to purify our body, mind, nature and soul. We have to develop a good conduct that is FREE from anger, greed, passion, uncontrolled sensual pleasures, hatred, bad habits and other bad characteristics with are AGAINST god and spirituality.
And, what I feel that “Simply the full devotion (though it is too hard) in god is all enough to achieve this true goal of life because it can remove all bad characteristics and change us from human to superhuman.”
Thanks again.
