In the age of Swiggy and instant noodles, desire has become dangerously efficient.
A craving arises and with one tap, it’s satisfied. Unfortunately, that same consumer mindset has quietly crept into our sadhana and Tantra circles too.
Many now approach Gurus not as seekers of truth, but as customers. “I paid with my devotion,” they seem to say, “so where’s my result?” But spirituality was never meant to be a marketplace and the Guru is not your delivery executive of enlightenment.
Many arrive with half-cooked ideas of their Ishta Devata, a sort of emotional fandom that feels more like cheering for a soccer team than seeking the Divine. That burst of enthusiasm is then mistaken for a spiritual qualification, as if devotion alone were a ticket to the Sadhana of mighty Devatas, like the Dasa Maha Vidyas.
Even our bond with the divine has turned transactional. A person feels a sudden fondness for a Devata perhaps Karuppan, Kali, or a Dasa Maha Vidya and declares, “I’m ready for Sadhana!”
It’s like cheering for your favorite football team and believing that qualifies you to play in the World Cup.
An emotional connection to your Ishta Devata is a beautiful starting point. Yes, but it isn’t readiness.
Loving your partner doesn’t mean you can live on honeymoon forever.
Life demands rhythm, rest, and responsibility and so does spiritual practice.
Every genuine path—whether Kriya Yoga, Mantra Sadhana, or Tantra Sadhana unfolds through Krama, a sequential progression crafted by Rishis and Siddhas over millennia.
You cannot skip the warm-up and expect to run the marathon.
Think of it this way: you might love a nuclear scientist deeply, but that doesn’t mean you’re qualified to stroll into their lab and start pressing buttons.
Without preparation, you’ll blow the place up or yourself.
Likewise, without purification, discipline, and Guru Kripa, diving headfirst into powerful practices can backfire.
True Sadhana is not about instant gratification; it’s about inner cultivation. You don’t “get” grace like you get pizza. You grow into it, layer by patient layer, until the universe itself says, “Now you’re ready.”
So next time the urge for a shortcut arises, remember: Divine delivery takes divine timing.
When you’re ready to walk the authentic path with humility and devotion, come, sit with us in our Tantra circle https://shorturl.at/4Fs5a . Practice is not a product; it’s a pilgrimage.
