Bhajans from Poprad
Life is a vast ocean; the goal is to find the right direction and reach the harbor.
The world is an illusion, a dream, and a person clinging to it is like a captain sailing aimlessly. To attain self-knowledge, seek a true guru. Upon finding such a one, fear not in the ocean, for knowledge dries it up and one crosses with dry feet to the harbor. What holds a person is love for the master’s lotus feet; nothing else has value. When the guru shows mercy, all pain vanishes and worldly illusion leaves only true joy and reality. Repeating the sacred name of the incarnation crosses the ocean of ignorance. True devotees bow to the lotus feet; touching the dust of those feet grants liberation. All efforts succeed through receiving grace. Day and night, repeat the sacred name; the guru removes all obstacles. The guru is the supreme bestower, the lord of destiny, the embodiment of the world’s lord, the supreme liberator. With that grace, no karma can harm and māyā loses power. Grace purifies destiny, bringing success and liberation. During meditation, focus on the guru’s form; then fear nothing. The one upon whom grace rests is already on the other side of the ocean. Keep the guru’s image in the heart; then death is only awakening, a new dawn.
“If you receive the grace of Gurudev, then no karma can harm you, and māyā will lose its power over you.”
“Whoever has the form of the guru in their heart need not fear death. He will realize that it is only awakening—a new dawn.”

A Gathering in Grace
It is good to see everything, to understand fully the practices and mantras. This understanding brings greater happiness and allows one to see all spiritual activities clearly.
The mind often works in confusion, attached to worldly things and selfish actions, which leads to suffering. The sincere prayer is to be awakened from this sleep, to be turned toward selflessness and real knowledge, and to become a giver. The gathering itself is a beautiful opportunity, a reason for happiness, with the promise of more to come.
"O Lord, bless me that I do not waste my life."
"Turn me into the lover of selflessness."

Bhajans from Oosterhout
The only longing is the dust of the holy feet of the Satya Guru. All desires for heavenly pleasures, riches, and even liberation are rejected. Liberation itself is but a servant at those lotus feet. Meeting the real Satya Guru annihilates all mental confusions. False knowledge from countless guides is removed. The Guru reveals the real truth. The true inner nature is discovered within. In the heart, God is met. The flame of the individual soul merges into the cosmic flame. Like fragrance permeating a blossom, the eternal truth fills every heart. All doubts dissolve, and all karmas are destroyed. Inside everything abides one eternal truth; external appearances are merely its forms. The prayer arises: “Satya Guru, show the real, indescribable Purusha.” The Guru’s word is not mere words; it encompasses all. The realized one, intoxicated by the sadguru’s name, is deep as the sky, sweet as nectar, cool as the ocean. Such a one has no desires in the three worlds. Such a one sees diamond and stone as equal, has no fear, and remains unmovable in life and death.
"He does not look at castes, and he does not look at status. For him, diamond and stones are the same."
"This divine traveler is a hero among the greatest heroes."
