Purify your body from poison
An evening discourse on the Kuṇḍalinī, chakras, and the nature of happiness.
"Happiness is within ourselves. Peace is within ourselves. And unhappiness is from outside."
"It is said that in life, when we walk... beside you is walking your death. You can see it is like the shadow, the shadow of your body."
The speaker explores the sources of happiness and suffering, using the parable of a couple's 50-year misunderstanding over a piece of bread to illustrate how unspoken grievances create internal poison. He connects this to the Viśuddhi (throat) chakra, explaining its role in purification and relating it to the myth of Śiva drinking the ocean's poison. The talk emphasizes communication, forgiveness, and daily practices like prāṇāyāma to cleanse negativity and prevent physical and emotional ailments.
