In this satsang, Paramahansa Yogivah Giri shares reflections on his early years of spiritual search, time in ashrams, and the difference between imagined progress and real transformation. He speaks about learning from teachers who had genuine realization and how his understanding changed over time.   He says: “If I wanted to grow spiritually, if I wanted to learn spiritually, I would need to learn from a guru. It isn’t something that you can do on your own. It’s not something you can do by yourself.”   The talk also includes comments on authenticity in spiritual teachers, the danger of outer display, and why a person with real attainment does not need to prove it to anyone.
