Master

Sri Sri: You can be loving, compassionate, and live all the values of the spirit without a teacher or a master. Then what is the need for a master? You do not make your own cloth. Someone else makes the cloth and you wear it. It is the same with spiritual knowledge. Many ancient people have found valuable knowledge about breathing, pranayama (breathing exercises) and yoga asanas. The intelligent thing is to use these tools which have already been established. And it is better to take a guide for your practice and progress on the spiritual journey
