Yoga will remove suffering
Yoga is the original, simple science of union, not the myriad of modern imitations. It calms the mind and emotions, which positively affects the entire body. Wrong practice or half-knowledge causes suffering. Choose simple, accessible postures suitable for all ages, avoiding extremes. True yoga encompasses life's entire journey, beginning with the conscious conception of a child. Parents must purify their bodies, minds, and thoughts through harmonious living and specific diets to welcome a noble soul. This care continues after birth with loving protection, proper nourishment, and ceremonies like massaging the infant's chakras. The human birth is a crucial milestone for the soul to escape the cycle of rebirth by cultivating humility and kindness. The first spiritual practice is discerning the eternal truth from the impermanent world. Attachment is the primary obstacle, a persistent glue one must strive to rise above.
"Yoga is yoga."
"Brahma satya and jagat mithyā. The final truth is the Brahman. This world is not permanent."

Build your intellect supportive
A clear aim is essential to prevent the intellect from becoming a destructive distraction. Without a definite purpose, the mind wavers among endless possibilities, changing direction with every new suggestion. This lack of clarity makes one susceptible to external influences and gossip, which act like poison, spoiling spiritual practice as lemon curdles milk. Negative talk and jealousy introduce destructive thoughts that can damage years of spiritual effort. One must therefore cultivate an intensive, unwavering aim and avoid all sources of negative influence. Protect your consciousness from harmful information that creates doubt and disturbs your peace. Spiritual progress requires guarding the mind and maintaining humility, allowing the intellect to become a supportive tool rather than an obstacle.
"Your aim must be very clear, intensive, and good. Nothing should be able to change you."
"One stupid thought, one stupid person, can destroy all your spiritual sādhanā."

How to train our mind?
The mind is restless and must be tamed. A king had a horse no one could ride. Many trainers failed by forcing it. A wise trainer did not force it. He simply followed the horse everywhere, building association. He let the horse come to him. Then he rewarded it with grass and slowly introduced a blanket. Eventually, he gently climbed on while petting it. The horse accepted him. The training took over a year through patient trust.
Our mind is like that horse. Let it run; that is its nature. Do not force it. Slowly train it towards devotion. When it calms, it will return. Grace makes this training possible.
"The trainer was different. He took the horse and simply let it be."
"Slowly, slowly, train your mind towards Guru Bhakti."

Awakening Through the Guru's Grace
Awakening requires recognizing the fleeting nature of life and surrendering to the Guru's grace. Time passes swiftly, and at death, all possessions and companions are left behind; one departs alone. The profound suffering in life can be a fortunate catalyst, driving the search for a truth beyond worldly existence. Finding the Satguru provides the means to cross the ocean of ignorance and break the cycle of rebirth. Complete honesty with oneself is essential, as hiding painful experiences blocks energy and prevents purity. The practice of mantra, given by the Guru, provides the strength to overcome all obstacles. This devotion to the Guru is ultimately devotion to one's own true Self.
"Wake up, your time is passing, and your Guru Dev is telling you what is important."
"Don’t hide. Even not before, in front of yourself, inside."
