We should believe in God
The human journey is a rare opportunity to realize oneness. Among countless life forms, the human birth is the most developed. This development offers the singular chance to merge with the supreme reality. Many habits, like excessive eating or using tobacco, create disease and suffering, obscuring this purpose. Health is foundational; without it, nothing is possible. Difficulties are not punishments but divine means to foster remembrance and surrender. Through trials, the soul is refined and drawn closer to liberation. All names and forms point to one essence, like different words for the same sweetness.
"When you are very happy... you forget God. When we have problems, then we remember."
"Give troubles to all devotees of God... When trouble comes that we remember."

The Eternal Dharma and the Legacy of Alak Purī
The eternal Dharma returns to a place of former prayer, adapting to changing times while its essence remains. Human consciousness shifts, but we must reconnect to our ancient spiritual roots from the Satya Yuga. This truth is not a human religion but the universal harmony of all creation. A parable illustrates the need for wisdom over literal interpretation: a merchant's son squanders his inheritance by following his father's testament literally, until a wise pandit reveals the deeper meaning—true wealth is found in discipline, shadow as metaphor for prudent hours, and hidden gold representing inner realization. Our lineage connects to this ancient wisdom through masters like Alak Purī, whose indescribable power is linked to sacred Himalayan sites and rivers. These are not mere stories but living reality, accessible to the sincere seeker.
"Sanātana Dharma is not one person's religion. Sanātana is not only from the humans. It is everything: the trees, the animals, the entire balance of our earth—harmony, understanding, and creation."
"The father was telling you right... 'Eat good food'... the best food is that when you are very hungry, then whatever you eat is tasteful."

Advice for the education of children
The foundation of a child's education is the love, presence, and guidance of the parents. A mother is the first and best teacher, providing foundational instruction. When both parents work, leaving the child in another's care all day, the deep, continuous connection is missing. This can lead to a child feeling unloved and becoming depressed, questioning their place. The solution lies with the mother and father. If a child is distant, a parent must dedicate time daily for teaching and bonding. A compassionate tutor, especially a female teacher for a young boy, can provide parental-like love and emotional support to alleviate depression. Parents work for money, but children instinctively seek their mother. We must keep children close. Without proper guidance, children may be led astray by influences like pocket money, which can lead to harmful experimentation. You cannot force a growing child without causing breakage. A spiritual teacher or yoga guide can help redirect one onto the right path. We are all learning until our last breath. Fill the mind with good thoughts and knowledge before sleep.

There is no greater love than the love of the Mother
The Guru's grace is the supreme principle, beyond all deities. The Earth is our first mother and must be honored before any action. Upon waking, acknowledge your humanity and ask permission to step upon the Earth. She awakens to protect her child. This respect is mirrored in the Earth-breaking ceremony for building a house, ensuring harmony. Farmers understand the right time to work the land. A mother's bond is ultimate; she gives everything and asks only for her child's presence at her death. The physical body returns to the Earth or fire. Do not keep dead beings in the home, as this invites disturbance. We are killing the Earth Mother with chemicals. Eat according to the body's intelligence, not mere taste. Those without a guru are incomplete.
"Mother, can I step on you?"
"Satguru is the eternal Brahmā."

The Parrot’s Counsel: A Dialogue Between Ātmā and Mind
Listen to the counsel of the two parrots, an allegory for the soul and mind.
The world is unreal; only devotion is true. The mind flutters, consuming the poisonous fruits of desire and pride, which appear sweet but bring bitterness. These desires are a mirage, leading to exhaustion like a thirsty deer chasing water. Death comes cruelly, severing all attachments to relationships and possessions. Therefore, renounce the unreal world. In the Guru's grace and holy company lies the immortal tree of nectar, which is heaven itself. Repeat the mantra 'Haṁsaḥ'—I am that pure consciousness, the soul, not the body or mind.
"Listen, my dear Menā, reap the harvest of joy in God's name. All other pursuits in this world are unreal."
"Repeat the name of God. You have obtained this opportunity as a human being. Do not miss it."
