The truth is this: your mind will be bored by any spiritual practice after few days. So the Master's job is to go on breaking your boredom pattern, and inventing new methods, techniques, process, through which you will be involved in the spiritual practices again and again in a way that is very entertaining for you.
Every samyama I give you, every technique I give you, every method I give you, is nothing but the original technique of unclutching. I just change the package, because after some time you feel a little bored – oh, this is the same thing! It finally boils down to de-programming the boredom patterns, and raising you beyond boredom.
Just like food is a basic need for your body’s survival, doing the practices is a basic need for your spiritual life’s survival. So the purpose of each new technique is to break the boredom pattern in you, and raise you to the space where you are inspired to do these techniques, where you are continuously following your spiritual practice without missing it, without moving out of it.
