The Spiritual Master / Guru
The master is a doorway The master is presence. The world is relativity and relativity has limitations. Presence is unlimited. If you are not feeling close to the master, it is because of you, because of your mind, because of your ego concepts. A master is like an ocean. Ocean is there, readily available. It does not reject anybody. If a Master is not hollow and empty, he is no Master at all.
Surrender

You will see, right away clarity comes. Effect of asana is clearing out of all conflicts, duality. The seed of negativity and the tendency for conflict in you can only be annihilated by Sadhana.

Freedom
