The Journey of the Soul: From the Ocean to the Drop
The soul's journey is from separation from the divine source back to union with it. The individual soul, or jīva, originates from the supreme oneness, like a water droplet separating from the ocean through evaporation. This droplet then longs to return. The cycle of the soul mirrors the water cycle: it ascends, travels, and descends back to earth, entering vegetation and bodies. Satsang is the boat to cross the ocean of separation, guided by the Guru or the holy scripture, which embodies the Guru's presence. Constant repetition of the divine name, like "Ram," is a highway to that goal. However, our physical actions create karma. We poison the earth and water with chemicals from soaps, cosmetics, and medicines, which is violence against nature and ourselves. True spirituality requires internal purity and non-violence in all conduct, as everything is counted. Liberation comes from realizing you cannot hide your actions from yourself or the divine.
"From the ocean, the jīva is in the water, the soul is in the water."
"This drop is called Jīva. And when this drop falls into the ocean, the Jīva becomes the Ātmā."

Yoga, the inner engineering
Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.
The Soul's Journey
The individual soul journeys through existence, bound by its karma and seeking liberation. The Supreme is primordial sound, Nāda. Our universal essence, Ātmā, is that sound. What we call our individual self is the Jīvātmā, a wave of that resonance. This soul flutters through time and space, experiencing joy and suffering. Upon death, no material thing or relation follows; only our good and bad karma accompanies us, creating destiny. This record is made instantly through our body, mind, words, and wealth. We are judged without mercy by cosmic justice. The human birth is a rare opportunity in this mortal workshop. The soul enters the body through destiny, not parental will. Life in the womb is a confined preparation. Birth is a cry, as we re-enter illusion. The aim is not worldly riches but spiritual awakening to dissolve back into the Supreme. Share wisdom and blessings; be a producer of light, not a consumer.
"Only two will follow us: our good or bad karmas. And that becomes destiny."
"Lucky are they, blessed are those souls that finally, by the mercy of the Supreme, got the human body."
