You are great but remain on the path
The living guru and true path are found within an authentic lineage, not through blind faith or exploitation. Modern science connects us physically, but only genuine spiritual transmission guides the soul beyond death. Many teachers and paths exist, each like a mother to her child, yet the root parampara is essential. Discernment is required, as some promise false powers or exploit faith with rituals. True practice involves a pure lifestyle and steady discipline, not mere claims. The breath's exhalation represents the enduring power; life continues beyond this body.
"Next to God is the doctor."
"Exhalation is forever."

You have to find the way
The inner world of consciousness is a vast, undiscovered forest. Consciousness resides within energy, which dwells in endless space, Ananta. Within consciousness lies our knowledge and intellect. When intellect intervenes, reality often disappears. The Ājñā Chakra is the crossroads where all desires and intellect converge. It is the border between human and divine consciousness, the seat of command and discernment. Intellect merely judges, while Viveka, or common sense, offers true guidance. This chakra presents profound dilemmas requiring decisive wisdom beyond logic.
"Consciousness is within the energy. Energy is within the space, and space is within itself. That’s called Ananta, endless."
"The border between our physical consciousness and higher consciousness: Ājñā Cakra... If we concentrate and create a knowledge or feeling toward the higher, then the Ājñā Chakra will guide us very comfortably."

Protect is in protect
A global crisis prompts reflection on humanity's unique spiritual and physical condition. Why does a pandemic target humans specifically, across all nations and beliefs? All creatures possess the same fundamental layers of existence, yet humans alone wield the power of action beyond mere survival. This century's afflictions stem from human karma. The widespread turn to meat consumption after the world wars, increased alcohol use, and the industrial production of food have introduced disease. Consuming such nourishment stores illness within, which may emerge later in life. Even vegetables now contain chemicals. The suffering we see originates from human actions, creating a poisoned environment. This is the age of Kali Yuga, where negative forces are prominent. True religion is self-control, and real yoga extends far beyond physical postures. We must first ensure our own spiritual protection to safeguard others. A great conjunction of planets is occurring, a rare celestial event. The coming Satya Yuga is governed by a divine timescale vastly different from our own. Ultimately, all paths return to the yogic essence within.
"Slowly, attacks come. It is like a beautiful, big tree: one or two bugs enter, then slowly worms multiply and eat the entire trunk from within."
"Practice yoga and daily life, and sleep very peacefully. Look inside; see what will be good. You will be protected."

What makes our soul happy
The jīva, or soul, seeks everlasting happiness, paramānanda, beyond fleeting pleasures.
There are temporary happinesses that vanish and cause suffering. The jīva is eternal, indestructible, and cannot be perceived by physical means. It enters and leaves the body freely, untouched by fire, water, or any obstacle. Every being carries this divine light, driven to attain pleasure and remove all pain. Through the five elements, the jīva manifests the ten senses and is sustained by the life forces. Happiness and sorrow reside in the jīva, not in the body. Seeking joy in material objects yields disappointment because the world is impermanent. Disappointment itself is a process of change and growth. Attachment binds the jīva, like a caged bird prevented from flying. Renunciation requires constant movement to avoid forming attachments. The worldly life is inherently a place of disappointment, even for the Creator. Clinging to relationships brings suffering, for all are transient. Temporary pleasures inevitably turn into pain. Therefore, one must seek paramānanda, the supreme, undying bliss. The jīva is like a drop suspended over the ocean of ātmā; upon merging, individuality dissolves, and it becomes Śiva. All spiritual practices aim for this union, where the jīva finds true peace.
"Each and every entity carries the light of God, and that light of God is not for this body only but for that soul, and that soul is life."
"This jīva is like a drop of water on the whole of our palm, held over the ocean. This drop is jīva, and the ocean is ātmā."

The Law of Karma: Our First Guru
The law of karma is the fundamental principle governing life and our first spiritual teacher.
Karma means action, a universal law of cause and effect like gravity. It operates through body, speech, mind, and wealth or position. Physical acts are obvious, but mental activities and emotions create even stronger karma. Using wealth or authority to instigate action generates multiplied karma for the instigator. This world is Karma Bhūmi, where we experience, create, and purify karma. The law's purpose is pedagogical, teaching through consequences to overcome negative qualities like selfishness and develop positive ones like compassion. It is a slow and often painful teacher, leading one to seek ethical guidelines and ultimately a guru for clearer guidance. Karma is stored as subtle vibrations in the causal body, accompanying the soul and necessitating reincarnation until all karmas are purified.
"Who cannot give life has not the right to take life."
"The law of karma is our first guru."
