The Cycle of Consumption and Consequence
The cycle of consumption creates inevitable consequences. People engage in certain actions, like eating meat, and these actions propagate through a cycle. They manifest elsewhere, moving from place to place, until they culminate in a significant problem. While one may feel powerless to stop this overall cycle, those with understanding can take action from their own position. The effective action is personal discretion in consumption. This means choosing a very good diet, specifically one that avoids harming animals. The prescribed method is to eat only fruits and similar pure foods. This individual discipline is the available recourse against the pervasive cycle.
"You can do anything, but it will be like this."
"Only eat more now, very much, only fruits, very good."

Devas and Asuras
The path of prāṇa is the inner churning to reach the nectar within.
Prāṇāyāma consists of inhalation, exhalation, and retention; these three occur naturally in everyone. Specific breath techniques produce distinct effects on body, mind, emotion, intellect, and consciousness. The myth of ocean churning is a metaphor: the ocean is existence and consciousness. The spinal column is the mountain; kuṇḍalinī is the snake. Negative and positive qualities are the asuras and devas within, fighting through overthinking. This churning produces nectar, which is immortality located in the Bindu Cakra. Āyurveda originated from this churning, brought by Dhanvantari, an incarnation of Viṣṇu. Viṣṇu later appeared as Mohinī to distribute the nectar, using illusion to give true nectar to devas and a deceptive drink to asuras. One asura sneaked true nectar, was cut in two, and became Rāhu and Ketu. Rāhu vowed to disrupt auspicious events, so propitiation is necessary at gatherings. The nectar is within every being. Through Kriyā, balance is achieved in cakras and prāṇa. Prāṇa leads to Brahmaloka, which is pure energy. Killing or suicide brings bad karma and suffering. The divine is found within through unconditional surrender and devotion. Inner churning awakens good qualities and leads to liberation.
“O my friend, what you are searching for outside, you are me. I am within you. My hut is outside the city, but my dwelling is in your breath.”
“If you search for me, I will meet you at once; in a single second you will see me.”

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."

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."
Moksha Will Not Come Without Guru Kripa
Compassion is the root of righteousness and the foundation of spiritual life. The lives of holy figures demonstrate this. Mother Mary endured profound suffering, from giving birth in a stable to witnessing her son's crucifixion, yet maintained mercy. Similarly, the mother of Krishna suffered the loss of six children but did not abandon compassion. The lives of saints are never easy; they are often met with misunderstanding and persecution. True compassion means seeing the divine self in all creatures. The ego, the sense of "I," is the root of sin and blocks this mercy. Compassion is a practice: removing thorns from a path, giving food without judgment, and speaking kind words that calm the heart. These actions plant seeds that multiply. While wealth is necessary in this world, one must not be enslaved by it. The ultimate goal requires the grace of a true guide. Never abandon compassion as long as life remains.
"All creatures in this world are my ātmā, myself."
"Never give up your compassion, your mercy, as long as you have a life in your heart."
