Fear arises from ignorance and creates the karma that binds us. We are the light of the Self, yet we identify with the body and lose our true nature. Karma is not an external force but is created from our own experiences and ignorance. For example, we see a rope and mistake it for a snake, generating fear. That impression of the snake, though false, can last a lifetime. Fear resides in the subtle self, not the physical body, and weakens our confidence and strength. Stories of ghosts in graveyards persist because of our memories and attachments, not because spirits remain. Our stored fears from many lives manifest in the body, affecting glands and hormones. Loss of self-confidence disrupts these systems. Horrible dreams often stem from subconscious impressions, not direct karma. True awakening involves a healthy body and nervous system, free from the paralysis of fear. We must identify and release our fears, understanding they belong to the past. "Karma is created within our own self out of ignorance. That creates fear in us." "When fear is gone, all these karmic things are more or less gone." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

I have seen the divine embodied. My spiritual master was the divine incarnate, possessing complete awareness and power. He once warned me of a shooting that had already occurred exactly as described. On another journey, my vehicle failed dramatically, yet I reached my destination. After his conscious departure from the body, his divine power remained active. A child suffered a severe eye injury from a pencil. His parents prayed to the master. Doctors repeatedly delayed removing the bandage, and when they finally did, the eye was fully healed. The soul is not lost; the same divine power persists from when he was in the body. Therefore, engage in worship to awaken and progress by this power. "He told me, 'Colonel Sāhab, today some bullets are going to be fired at your stomach.'" "After 15 days... they removed the bandage. That child... can see with both eyes—something only Bhagavān can do." Filming location: India

Trāṭak is a Haṭha Yoga practice of one-pointed concentration, best performed on a candle flame. It aids sleep, reduces stress, and improves concentration for those above ten years. Practice in a meditation posture, using a Guru Mantra if available. Close the eyes, relax the body and breath, and withdraw from external awareness. Open the eyes to gaze steadily at the flame's brightest middle point without blinking. After gazing, close the eyes and concentrate on the inner light perceived at the center of the brows, repeating the mantra. The flame's three sections—dark bottom, bright middle, and gray top—symbolize the guṇas: Rajas, Sattva, and Tamas. The practice concludes by internalizing the flame, chanting "Tamaso Mā Jyotir Gamaya," and extinguishing the candle. "Gaze on the middle point of the flame, or the tip of the middle flame, and you will not close your eyes without my instructions." "Become one with the flame, a beautiful tiny flame, and say mentally, 'Tamaso Mā Jyotir Gamaya.'"

The essence of human life and the spiritual path is revealed through sacred tradition. Human birth is rare and granted intellect and free will within a limited time. The purpose is to realize the divine Self, the all-pervasive ātmā identical in all beings. This realization ends suffering. The Guru is essential, considered greater than God for the seeker. The path requires balancing worldly duties with spiritual practice. Foundational disciplines like purity in diet and conduct are necessary. The eight limbs of Yoga provide the structure, beginning with ethical restraints and observances, not merely physical postures. True progress involves inward withdrawal, concentration, meditation, and ultimately union. Devotion progresses through stages of listening, remembrance, and surrender. The final knowledge stages involve merging one's consciousness with the Guru's, achieving complete detachment from all worldly objects and identifications. The journey is one road with many names, culminating in liberation. "If there is someone greater than God, then he is the guru." "That which liberates you is called vidyā."
