The only longing is the dust of the holy feet of the Satya Guru. All desires for heavenly pleasures, riches, and even liberation are rejected. Liberation itself is but a servant at those lotus feet. Meeting the real Satya Guru annihilates all mental confusions. False knowledge from countless guides is removed. The Guru reveals the real truth. The true inner nature is discovered within. In the heart, God is met. The flame of the individual soul merges into the cosmic flame. Like fragrance permeating a blossom, the eternal truth fills every heart. All doubts dissolve, and all karmas are destroyed. Inside everything abides one eternal truth; external appearances are merely its forms. The prayer arises: “Satya Guru, show the real, indescribable Purusha.” The Guru’s word is not mere words; it encompasses all. The realized one, intoxicated by the sadguru’s name, is deep as the sky, sweet as nectar, cool as the ocean. Such a one has no desires in the three worlds. Such a one sees diamond and stone as equal, has no fear, and remains unmovable in life and death.
"He does not look at castes, and he does not look at status. For him, diamond and stones are the same."
"This divine traveler is a hero among the greatest heroes."

Eat well and practice

The beauty of life is found in its natural state, not in artificial enhancements. Nature displays a beautiful spectrum of color and age. Fashion and chemical products like makeup stem from desire, which hinders higher consciousness. These items are expensive, full of chemicals, and create dependency while damaging the skin. Yoga practice regenerates the body, improves circulation, and supports glands and organs. Natural oils like sesame or olive oil are healthy for the skin, unlike blocking creams. Our diet is crucial; natural foods are needed as the body will produce what it lacks. Avoid excessive meat, linked to cancer, and processed foods. Dedicate time daily to yoga and prāṇāyāma for health, happiness, and true beauty that comes from within.
"Fashion kills people... As long as you have desire, you cannot proceed towards higher consciousness."
"Yoga regenerates our body, the cells, our skin. It is great support for our gland systems, organs, and blood circulation."

From: 21 Apr 2014
Divine incarnations and saintly guides appear to restore balance and grant liberation.
Dharma and adharma exist in parallel until the great dissolution. When negative forces dominate, a purposeful divine descent occurs to protect righteousness and devotees. These descents are not constant but arise from necessity, like a government intervening in crisis. Simultaneously, eternal descents manifest as holy saints in every age. They guide and protect. A seeker's intense longing is the essential fire that draws divine grace. This longing, a pain infused with joy, is the path. The Guru embodies the supreme principle, acting as creator, protector, and liberator. The Guru's grace is the sole vessel for crossing the worldly ocean. Heaven is a limited realm based on past good works, not the final goal. Liberation lies beyond, attained through devoted effort and the Guru's mercy. The pure soul should feel blessed, not guilty, for this human opportunity to seek the divine.
"Time to time I manifest myself... to protect the pure souls and to destroy the adharma."
"The name of the Gurudev is the boat. Those who will sit in with devotion and confidence, be sure that Gurudev will bring you to the mainland."

The Fire of three tapas
9:20 - 10:25

From: 1 Sep 2009
The three fires are the fundamental problems of existence: physical and mental illness, worldly conflict, natural calamities, and astral or karmic disturbances. Ancient seers researched how to gain protection from these afflictions, which also shield one from planetary and societal influences. All beings, like a mobile tree, are subject to these universal forces. There are mantras to cultivate positive divine power, though negative power is realized more easily. Engaging with negative energies binds one to suffering, while aligning with the positive ultimately leads to unity. Ancestral prayers, a universal science reflected in many traditions, are necessary to prevent interference and liberate souls for new birth. Similarly, foundational ceremonies for new endeavors align energies for harmony. For spiritual practice, mantras act as a navigator, guiding through obstacles and past mistakes. The peace mantra from the Upanishads is a foundational tool. It seeks guidance from unreality to reality, from ignorance to light, and from mortality to immortality. The aim is to realize the immortal Self, beyond the changing body and world. This path faces external obstacles like negative company and internal ones like anger and ego. Mantra clears these barriers. Life is like a dream from which one awakens to a different reality. A realized being, a Trikāla Darśī, perceives past, present, and future, knowing how to avoid pitfalls. Ultimately, one surrenders to the divine will, though a self-realized master can alter destiny. Meditation requires mantra as its animating soul. Concentrating on inner sound through Nāda Yoga leads from bodily sounds to the sound of the Self. This requires immense discipline and saying 'no' to endless desires. Active meditation, performed with love in any work, purifies the outer life, which in turn supports inner, passive meditation.
