Gurudev, I have heard that there is a drug called Ayahuasca that aids in spiritual growth. Apparently, it lets out fears and stumbling blocks that keeps us away from God. It is found mostly in South America. Do you recommend such a thing? It is a natural herb.
Yes, even cocaine is all natural only. It is also a herb, but stay away from it.
Look at people who have taken drugs, do they look like they are in ecstasy? Not at all. If you look at them, you pity them. All their energy gets drained. And moreover, on a subtle level, their aura gets totally broken. People who use drugs, their subtle body (pranic body) gets shattered, and their aura is all cut. So never ever use those things. Just use your breath. With pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya and meditation you can go high up and be healthier. And many people have come out of drugs with this. They realize they don’t have to spend money to do this. Wherever you sit and meditate, you are in bliss. This is a very good antidote.
If you have not done Shakti Kriya, you should do it. In 20 minutes of Shakti Kriya you can find yourself in a high and pleasant state of energy.
