Getting ahead

Those that are ahead in Satsang or are increasing, are achieving this by following orders. If we want a degree at University but don't want to listen to the lecturer then you will repeat the year and fail. But if we listen and follow orders then you will pass. If you look at work life, you do as you’re told and your boss will become happy. Now with a family, you do as you’re told and your parents become happy.

When you’re driving how much easier is it listening to the sat nav for directions, which we can follow and get to our destination. What if you didn't follow the sat nav? You would get to your destination but much later with more hassle or may not make it at all. The same goes in Satsang, if we listen to those who have reached Maharaj we will get there quicker as these people can share their experiences which can help us grow. 

When Nilkanth Varni arrived in Loj he desperately wanted to meet Ramanand Swami but he was given agna to stay with Muktanand Swami. Maharaj himself is showing us here to gain the rajipo of his guru he followed orders and didn't do as he pleased.

Who should I listen to?

Adharanand Swami says in his ‘Granth’ to be able to love Bhagwan you must do as you’re told by those that have experience in deeply loving Bhagwan.

Should I follow blindly?

Maybe some text about this here?

What about independent thinking?

Possibly move the uni example here.

Conclusion

Listen to the experienced and wise people in Satsang. Follow and implement what they say.

TODO/NOTES
1. This seems to be written in relation to a granth. That needs to be referenced or removed.
2. Need an opening paragraph that encapsulates the main essence of this post. It needs to grip the user into reading the rest of it.
3. Rather than using language like "you must", try to write it in a way where if you want this great benefit, this is how you achieve it.
