The guru is like a gardener, and the disciples like flowers.

If Nature wants you to succeed at something a situation will be created whereby you will request the right thing, knowingly or not.

It is always better to live with reality, because otherwise, without fail, reality will come to live with you. – The Aghori Vimalananda.

Some of the events described in this book may well offend the reader's sensitivities. Part of this was Vimalananda's intention. He wanted Western holier-than-thou renunciates to know that "filth and orgies in the graveyard" (as one American once described Aghori) can be as conducive to spiritual advancement as can asanas, pranayama, and other "purer" disciplines.
