Program from Brisbane
Divine incarnations and saintly guides appear to restore balance and grant liberation.
Dharma and adharma exist in parallel until the great dissolution. When negative forces dominate, a purposeful divine descent occurs to protect righteousness and devotees. These descents are not constant but arise from necessity, like a government intervening in crisis. Simultaneously, eternal descents manifest as holy saints in every age. They guide and protect. A seeker's intense longing is the essential fire that draws divine grace. This longing, a pain infused with joy, is the path. The Guru embodies the supreme principle, acting as creator, protector, and liberator. The Guru's grace is the sole vessel for crossing the worldly ocean. Heaven is a limited realm based on past good works, not the final goal. Liberation lies beyond, attained through devoted effort and the Guru's mercy. The pure soul should feel blessed, not guilty, for this human opportunity to seek the divine.
"Time to time I manifest myself... to protect the pure souls and to destroy the adharma."
"The name of the Gurudev is the boat. Those who will sit in with devotion and confidence, be sure that Gurudev will bring you to the mainland."

Try to be nirmohi
The Earth suffers from human exploitation, and our food has been destroyed by the loss of natural seeds and chemical pollution. We have dug coal, diverted water, and injected chemicals, making the mother suffer. Seeds that once lasted for generations now must be bought anew, and our vegetables are tasteless and dangerous. Educated people have ruined everything. Many diseases arise from this corrupted food. Yet, some are returning to cultivate good seeds at home. We must detach from worldly attachments to move toward the Supreme. Attachment, or moha, is the heaviest obstacle to self-realization. Discipline and satsang are the paths to remove this attachment. A story of a detached king illustrates that true renunciation means no attachment, even to family. Our senses and mind constantly seek more, but we must direct the mind through satsang and wisdom to control attachment while in the body.
"Holy Gurujī used to say that Bhagavān Viṣṇu put seva and mokṣa in a scale. And the scale of seva was much heavier than mokṣa."
"Attachment will always be as long as we have this physical body, as long as the indriyas are active. There will always be. But we should know this: that we wake our wisdom to know and to decide."

Self is happiness
The sense of life is to become happy and free from past suffering and karma. Satsaṅg is the best way to attain this peace. Our inner self, which seeks happiness, is a part of God. We often search for this self externally, but it cannot be found that way. To understand God and oneself, one must attend satsaṅg and study the scriptures. Yoga is the union of the self with the Cosmic Self. All who take physical form, even God, must endure certain sufferings according to cosmic law. We are here due to our karma, while God incarnates by free decision, yet He too must accept difficulties, sometimes due to curses. Even a great devotee like Nārada once cursed Viṣṇu, causing Him to incarnate again. This occurs when one's intellect becomes confused. We must always pray for positive intellect.
"If the self is searching for the self somewhere, we will never find it anywhere."
"The difference between us and God is that we came to the world because of our karma, and He came according to His own decision."

Practical guide to meditation (9/11)
Everything changes, and all change has beauty. Conflict arises from difference, but difference is natural. Conflict becomes negative through ego and non-acceptance. The root of all conflict is within the individual. World peace is achieved by solving this inner conflict through self-enquiry and surrender. Meditation is the practical method for this inner work. A key time for meditation is the peaceful morning before sunrise. Sit with a straight spine in a comfortable posture like Vajrāsana. Use an authentic mantra and a natural-fiber shawl for focus and protection. Withdraw inward, observe the breath, and repeat the mantra to purify and find oneness.
"Conflict is not in the world. Conflict is within you."
"Meditation is the way to solve the inner conflict and the world’s conflicts."
