Everything is in your hands
The initiation of eight sannyāsīs was a highlight. The Master decides readiness; these were not easy individuals, each a long effort to guide. One is profoundly honest, immediately embodying the role. Another prepared for decades through hardship. Three were from Australia, one from Israel, and one Indian who left too quickly. The final one is a devoted and humble soul. Your spiritual progress is ultimately in your own hands. Teachers and masters can only support you; the decisive action is yours. A story illustrates this: disciples, jealous of their Master, trap a bird and ask if it is alive or dead. The Master replies its fate is in their hands. Your liberation, like the bird's life, depends on your decisions. Do not delay in good actions. Regarding dress, disciples should wear white; sannyāsīs wear orange. Becoming a sannyāsī is serious, not a fashion; it helps carry the spiritual light but requires true readiness and independence.
"Master, if you know everything, then tell us what is in my hand."
"My son, whether this bird is alive or dead depends on your hands."

People will be holy again
A great light of purity is coming for humanity. Practice in your place. A revelation was received from Mahāprabhujī and Devapurījī concerning powerful mantras. These sacred words herald a coming age. The current impurity, marked by violence and consumption of meat, will end. A pure Sat Yuga is approaching, replacing the Kali Yuga. People must purify themselves and their children through non-violence. Adopt a diet that causes no harm. This purity will manifest globally, as seen in certain families and disciples. Teach this to everyone. The impure will fade, and pure children will emerge. This transformation is the destined reality.
"Kali Yuga is going, and Sat Yuga is coming. So we have to come and purify, purify our body all the time."
"No killing any animals, no killings, no killings. We have so much fruits and everything to eat, all good things to eat."

Being a human
Spiritual discipline guides one from ignorance to enlightenment.
Human life is a rare opportunity among countless life forms. Animals possess innate discipline, but humans are given specific principles—conduct, thought, diet, and recreation—to cultivate goodness and occupy the mind positively. These rules, including fasting and observing holy days, were established by sages to prevent negative actions. Every action creates a corresponding reaction, good or bad. By following these disciplined observances, known as saṃskāras, one progresses spiritually. Without such discipline, one remains bound to the cycle of karma and rebirth. The goal is to become absorbed in the formless, eternal Brahman.
"God knows everything, does He not? God knows what you will say, what you will do."
"Where there is action, there will be reaction. Good action yields good reaction. Bad action yields bad reaction."
