I can only say what worked for me; a burning thirst, hunger, desire to get out of the bondage that I felt accutely- a desire that transcended money, sex, formal education, friendship, death, food, sleep, relative happiness of any kind. And complete and utter surrender to that which I intuited would set me free. And frequent prayer and study of spiritual teaching. And regular TM, morning and evening for 30 years. And the Siddhis programme to burn out some big stuff, for 15 years. And always being true to myself, no matter what. And no dogma or organized anything to follow- just me, in the slowly blooming desert of my consciousness, from the age of ten to the age of fifty. And I was in the cage of my making, right up until the moment I wasn't. That is what worked for me.:-)
