Darshan of Sri Alakhpuriji
Two opposing forces exist within every person.
One force brings happiness, peace, and health, leading to long life and good relations. The other brings anger, hatred, and restlessness, which harms the body. The tongue holds great power; it can destroy or bring joy with a single word. These two forces—peace and distraction—reside within, reacting to all external news, good or bad. Even a painful tooth and a persistent tongue illustrate internal conflict, where one word can escalate strife. True practice requires cultivating peace in every cell, beyond mere physical yoga. Control these inner forces to determine the quality of one's joy.
"The tongue can kill us, destroy us. That one word which can come from it... can also make everyone so happy."
"Learn to know these two things: distraction and the creators. Peace or no peace, restlessness. They are within our body."
