Should you practice Ta**ra or not? Whenever people ask this, they wonder if it’s something they should actually do. Gurudev once mentioned at a shivir that if you aren't doing it, why bother with sadhna at all, and what is its real goal? Personal growth is part of it, but if you're already doing japa or havan, you shouldn't limit it to yourself; it’s like having the energy to heal or do good and just choosing not to use it.
As you progress on your sadhna journey, your guru will eventually guide you to share this energy with others. This process is always conducted through the exchange of dravya/dakshina—not merely for monetary benefit, but because bypassing this exchange can transfer the karmic burden onto the sadhaka.
