Because the monistic theory of self realisation requires expanding the individual self to the status of the supreme universal self, according to Sri Sri Thakur it can be directly practiced only by the most competent among the aspirant Sanyasis by means of precise intellectual inquiry, analysis and deep meditation, although the service to the Master holds the key to success in such pursuits as well.

However, Sri Sri Thakur pointed out that true transcendental divine love and ecstasy could be properly experienced by the most fortunate ones only after they had attained monistic realisation of the supreme as declared by Lord Krishna Himself in the Bhagavadgeeta:

Having realised the state of oneness with the supreme self or Parabrahman and attaining tranquillity in spirit, the aspirant neither grieves nor desires and regarding all beings as alike he attains supreme devotion to Me (XVIII-54). (i.e. the devotee experiences supreme form of divine love) And,Through devotion, he comes to know Me, what My forms are and who I am in truth and then he forthwith enters into Me(XVIII-55).

(i.e. he is now in loving union with God Whose nature he knows and which he acquires himself and hence is now fit to act as a Sadguru, as it indeed came to pass in the life of Sri Sri Thakur). Devoid of prior attainment of such spiritual experience, the practice of informal love (Premabhakti) for God by artificial means may be frustrating! However, those who already had such realisations in the past life may be able to attain to divine love quickly enough during the present life.
