Active and passive meditation
Meditation is an ancient practice with two forms: active karma yoga and passive inner absorption. This world is a mortal field of action where all that is born will die and all that is created will be destroyed. It is also a living planet, a home for countless creatures, not just humans. Humanity's error is believing the planet belongs solely to us, using our intellect to govern and destroy it. There are two worlds: the perfect God-made world and the imperfect man-made world, which are now in disharmony due to human selfishness. We have become a destructive force, stealing from and harming nature for our comfort, leading to climate crises as nature's reaction. True success is not personal gain that causes another's loss, but action that considers all beings. Therefore, return to karma yoga—selfless, protective work—as your worship. After such active work, practice passive meditation by withdrawing the senses, surrendering burdens to the divine, and seeking oneness. Meditation requires techniques to concentrate and ultimately merge, allowing you to see the divine beauty in all creation, which physical eyes alone cannot perceive.
"Yogaḥ karmasu kauśalam—through the practice of karma yoga, you will be successful in your yoga practice."
"Mother Nature has enough for everyone’s need, but not for the greed."

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.
Blessed moments with Holy Guruji
The guru's presence is a transformative teaching beyond words.
I met Gurujī but did not know Hindi, creating a perceived barrier. Yet, his storytelling was a profound lesson; he fully embodied each character, making them instantly known. That moment taught me the power of non-verbal communication—how body, voice, and movement express inner states and can change our inner world. Every action was a teaching; singing a bhajan, he transformed the atmosphere with immense energy. Being with him was full of that strong energy and love; language was unnecessary. Great souls possess tremendous humor and love that transforms. To be near such energy requires strong nerves and preparation through sādhanā, or one may fall asleep from the intensity. Though Gurujī is no longer physically here, he is present in every satsaṅg and bhajan. Through the bhajans, which are rare and preserved from the paramparā, the guru is with us. We owe the opportunity to know this lineage and these bhajans to Viśva Gurujī.
"Gurujī became every actor, every person in that story."
"Language was never a problem; there was no need to talk."
