After receiving self-realization in Sahaja Yoga, one may start to feel the pains of sin from within and the sins of others, leading one to avoid the company of sinful people. If one remains around sinful people, it can cause headaches, pressure at the Agnya chakra, and other issues, making one want to leave that place as they are no longer able to bear it. The best way to strengthen oneself is to gather together with other Sahaja Yogis, attending programs, collective prayers, and meditation.
