Every soul is pure
The purification of antaḥkaraṇa reveals the nature of truth as Sat Cit Ānanda. Truth is unchanging, like the sky—no weapon cuts it, no fire burns it, no water destroys it. This world is temporary, mithyā; only Brahman is real. Thoughts arise from the inner instrument: manas, buddhi, citta, ahaṁkāra. Impurity there causes ego, the belief in one’s greatness. Purifying these four leads to liberation. Judgement belongs to Divine Justice alone, not to any person. Ignorance is a dark curtain over past, present, and future. The soul is pure but coated by karma and destiny, which we create. Every soul is equal, from ant to elephant, a quality not a quantity. Love all entities; inability to love is ignorance. Four friends—dharma, patience, true friend, spouse—are tested in crisis. In adversity, you are alone; only truth accompanies. The antaḥkaraṇa absorbs qualities from contact and energy. A good deed plants a seed that remains lifelong. Cultivate purity of inner actions. Satyam Śivam Sundaram—truth, consciousness, beauty.
"Brahma satyaṁ jagat mithyā."
"Love each and every entity. If you cannot love that much, then at least love them as much as you love yourself."

We should understand the Yoga
The path of yoga integrates hearing, memory, and consistent practice. Śruti is what is heard; Smṛti is memory. Memory alone is insufficient, like transient clouds. Theoretical knowledge from lectures and books is not enough. The practical application of knowledge, shared within the guru-paramparā, is substantial. Practice must be daily, like watering a plant, or knowledge is lost. Yoga in Daily Life is a scientific system encompassing many paths like Haṭha, Kriyā, and Bhakti Yoga. The goal is not merely physical health from āsana but spiritual growth through meditation on the chakras and Kuṇḍalinī, leading to higher consciousness. Do not neglect practice for teaching, and honor the connection with parents and elders.
"Memory is within us. The theory is just like clouds that come and go."
"If we do not practice, then our memory, smṛti, will go."

Around The World - Vegetarianism and top sport, Part 3
We prepare two distinct meals for athletes. The first is whole wheat pasta with sauce and a green salad for endurance. The second is vegetables with fava beans and tofu for muscle building. Both include a milkshake. For athletes, avoid sugar; use raisins or dried fruit. Use minimal water and oil. Start cooking harder vegetables first. Season lightly with Himalayan salt, tamari, and spices like cumin and turmeric for digestion. Add leafy herbs at the end to preserve aroma. The milkshake combines nuts, cottage cheese, milk, and natural sweeteners. It serves as a protein-rich energy source. Brewer's yeast can be added for B12.
"A key principle in cooking is to never use too much water."
"Sports food should not be overly spiced or heavily fried, but it should not be tasteless either."

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."
