The human birth
Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness, leading from action to liberation. All beings are bound by the cycle of karma, action and reaction. Humans are born to work out these karmas through body, mind, speech, and wealth. The intellect must be educated with ethics and spirituality to choose rightly. The mind is restless, greedy, and a thief; it gathers information but bears no responsibility—the intellect provides judgment. Various yogas like Karma, Bhakti, and Jñāna are paths, but all aim for the Supreme. Consciousness moves through states of waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. Mastery begins with understanding these transitions. Energy flows through channels like Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā, connected to chakras in the body. Practice is essential; theory alone cannot satisfy. Steady the body to steady the mind for meditation. Ultimately, one must act with awareness to avoid creating new karmic bonds and clear existing ones through sādhanā.

"The action is in our hands, but when it’s gone out of our hands, we can’t do anything."

Gold and God
Yoga is for health, harmony, understanding, peace, long life, and friendship. All yoga schools are good, regardless of association with religion. Humans have come a far distance from living in forests. We are now separated but do good for ourselves and others. Long ago, there was no money and people lived happily by giving to each other. Money and gold later arrived, creating desire and a system of transaction. Now we seek gold and material possessions, but these things remain after we are gone. It does not matter which religion or place one is from; being human is what matters. God gave yoga to make the body healthy and happy so one may live a long, peaceful life.

The spiritual lineage
The spiritual lineage connects devotees to an ancient source of grace. A disciple met the master as a baby and received lifelong blessings, countering predictions of a short life and lack of education or wealth. The lineage extends back seven generations through the family. The source of the teachings is the immortal master Alakpuriji, who dwells in the Himalayas. Such perfected beings exist in subtle, causal bodies beyond the material world, serving as protectors. They can be perceived by pure hearts, as seen in lights over glaciers. The path requires sacrifice of attachment to enter the divine kingdom, as demonstrated by Yudhiṣṭhira's loyalty. The goal is liberation through this spotless, indescribable grace.
"Tell me when you’re ready to leave this earth to come, I’ll call you."
"Enter the kingdom of the Lord through the gate of sacrifice."

Human being is miraculous - Yoga Practice
Human qualities are awakened through yoga and conscious awareness.
Immense energy and talent lie dormant within the human body. These capacities must be activated correctly, like selecting the proper gear in a machine. Upon waking, one should express gratitude, acknowledging the gift of consciousness. This simple act awakens positive energy and human awareness. Human qualities like mercy and forgiveness are not dormant but resting deep within, activated by thought and intention. Yoga is the science to activate these positive energies, liberating the soul toward the inner Supreme light. The elements and the universe are mirrored within the body; only the mind has changed. Human life is divine and meant for the protection of all creatures. Practice strengthens the inner will, allowing one to walk toward truth without support. The three guṇas—sattva, rajas, and tamas—must be balanced within us. Sattva represents purity, rajas activity, and tamas inertia. All are necessary; one cannot function with purity alone. Earn resources, but use surplus for humanitarian and environmental purposes. Practice correct, quality yoga to refine oneself and move as pure light.
"Humans have the talent of mercy, forgiveness, and understanding. When there is a fire, we should try to put it out, not add fuel."
"Yoga is the science of body, mind, and consciousness. The energy, the result of yoga, is to liberate the soul and enter into Ātmā Jñāna, the light of the Supreme."
