We don't know where we will go
This is a holy place where purity is maintained and prayers are offered three times daily.
Here, no meat, alcohol, or chemicals are allowed. The world faces a disease; many die each day, so we protect ourselves carefully. Animals and the forest are untouched, so we examine our food, water, and lifestyle. Meat and alcohol are harmful, but we can only pray and send good thoughts. A fourth disease is predicted, spreading like perfume, its origin unknown. A young boy, Ivo Skoczek, died in a bicycle accident at midnight. We pray for him to enter the cosmic light. We are born to reach Parabrahma Paramātmā in this life. Only each one knows their own thoughts and deeds. No one admits negativity, but do not assume goodness. Before death, the highest reveals if one goes to Parabrahma or returns. The ātmā and jīva are equal in all—the elephant and ant, ocean and drop, all like one sun. Practice meditation in the heart; thinking outside is not meditation. Life is like a bird’s nest: eggs fall to crows and snakes. The boy’s death shows that even the strong meet death; death is death. A lamp is prepared for him.
"What is meditation? Meditation is only in your heart, that is all, within your body. When we think outside, then it is outside."
"The elephant is big, the ant is very small, but the ātmā and the jīva are equal."
