We are identifying a place and performing a symbolic action with a cup. The place is depicted in a picture and contains a whirlpool in a park corner and a pond. A brightly painted cup is there, meant to stand upon a tree stump behind the pond. The action involves using group-colored pencils to tie the cup, but not to bind it completely, as it is already secured. The final instruction is to transform these pencils into the pencils of our group's boats. "It is in the picture. And did you recognize me? Yes, indeed." "First, we must tie it with pencils in the colors of our group. Must we bind it completely? No." Filming location: Strilky, Czech Republic

A guided practice for relaxation and gentle movement through breath and body awareness. Begin by lying comfortably, focusing awareness on each limb. Inhale to lift a limb, exhale to lower it, releasing all tension. Coordinate breath with slow arm movements overhead and back. Stretch each side of the body individually, then diagonally, and finally the entire body. Practice rolling and spinal twists to release the back. Strengthen the core by lifting the head with hands clasped behind it. Perform knee-to-chest poses to relax the hips. Move into seated postures for spinal extension and flexion. Practice side bends. Flow through a sequence of postures that strengthen the entire body. Conclude by lying back, focusing on the smooth flow of breath from abdomen to throat to achieve deep relaxation. "Feel a wave-like rhythm of your breathing now, from the abdomen to the chest and from the chest down to the abdomen." "Concentrate on the flow of the breath up and down the body."

Human life embodies a unique potential for higher knowledge. A master gives that knowledge through pure teaching. Holy scriptures hold words that cannot be altered. Clothing, skin color, dyed hair—all outer forms are fleeting. Leaves turn yellow and fall; the wind carries them off. This body too will go, no matter how much one waters or treats it. From earth it comes, and back to earth it returns, then rises again as fruit. The cycle never stops. Space is the ultimate aim—clear, without sun, moon, or fire. The horizon moves farther as one draws near; it cannot be grasped. A father hid his treasure in a wall, yet his sons did not know until he died. Money can be stolen, but inner wealth remains. Practice yoga, prayer, and mantra—do it or lose everything. That inner treasure stays. Spiritual practice is the only lasting possession. The horizon of the self is reached only through continual practice. “Patta ṭūṭā dal se le gayī pavan uḍāī.” “Use it or lose it.” Filming location: Jadan, Rajasthan, India

A journey within begins by relaxing the body and observing the breath. Contemplate the five elements within. Space exists inside and outside; feel at ease within it. Air, or prāṇa, purifies the body and can remove illness with concentrated will. Inner fire, or agni, balances temperature and burns away toxins. The water element flows through tissues, supplying minerals and expelling impurities. The earth element, the bones, provides a frame. These elements within can become polluted by the external world. Purify them through sāttvic food, yoga postures, prāṇāyāma, and meditation. Body awareness is life awareness; health depends on clean, balanced elements. Bring awareness to any area of pain or illness. Direct breath and the elements—air, fire, space, water—to that area to balance and heal. This self-inquiry meditation can be done seated. Many bodily problems stem from personal mistakes like wrong diet or substances, but they can be repaired through yoga, meditation, and a balanced diet. Make a resolve to heal the body and mind through these elements and practices. Love and protect nature. Decide for a healthy, strong body and a long life. "Body awareness means life awareness. The body is here, you are here." "Strive to purify with sāttvic food... Pure quality gives more quality to your life." Filming location: Rijeka, Croatia
