Devotion is expressed through song and remembrance of the divine. A bhajan written in 1983 conveys receiving the divine name for constant repetition, coloring the singer with devotion and a plea for eternal protection. Another famous bhajan requests the divine light to inflame the heart and dispel darkness. The following song honors the Guru as the highest Self, stating this realization is impossible without devotion to the grace-bestowing saints. Meeting the Guru is described as life's highest attainment. The gathering concludes with a kīrtan to Śiva, invoking his various names as the auspicious destroyer and supreme lord. "I received the divine name from you to repeat it again and again." "Please inflame the light in my heart. May your light dispel my darkness."

Prāṇāyāma leads the practitioner through peace to concentration, meditation, and Samādhi. During prāṇāyāma, the vṛttis realize deep peace. This brings dhāraṇā, complete awareness of one object. Concentration is like a steady candle flame. From it comes dhyāna, merging into oneness with the object. Knowledge, knower, and object unite, beginning Samādhi. Samādhi resembles deep sleep, where the soul rests. But meditation offers more than everyday sleep. It is not achieved by expecting or forcing. Just be, and techniques will lead there. Prāṇāyāma purifies body and brain. It develops concentration and joy in the heart. The mantra sustains the flow, like a waterfall from above. Realize the ātmā in all beings. Sacrifice kāma, krodha, and other vices. Prāṇāyāma raises prāṇa to the sahasrāra cakra. This brings Brahmānanda. Practice systematically in Yoga in Daily Life. "Peace and bliss are the result of the satsaṅg." "In meditation, there is more than that. That is called everyday samādhi." Filming location: Vép, Hungary

The Guru is the singular, indispensable lamp. Understanding the Guru's nature comes only in his absence. While present, his light is taken for granted. He traveled widely, visiting many saints and places, yet his devotion remained solely with his lineage. He transformed barren land into an ashram. His constant practice was singing bhajans and giving lectures about his masters. The teaching environment must be kept purely for spiritual matters, avoiding negativity. The Guru's strictness was part of his grace. His physical presence embodied a great spiritual personality. The ultimate truth is that everything is the Guru's grace.

The subject is Kuṇḍalinī and Chakras. Humans possess a highly developed consciousness capable of realizing the divine energy within. The self is experienced in the heart, yet is present throughout the entire body. The human system is composed of five sheaths: the physical, energetic, mental, intellectual, and blissful bodies. The 72,000 nerve channels converge at points called chakras, which are centers of energy and consciousness. Desires and mental power are strong forces that can bind or liberate. Various yoga paths exist to purify these layers and direct energy upward from the base chakras, associated with primal instincts, toward the higher centers of perception and unity. The ultimate aim is to transcend all sheaths and realize the oneness of the individual soul with the universal consciousness, which is present everywhere. "Though it is here, yes, but I am... I am here, but I am everywhere." "Everyone is God. So everywhere is God." Filming location: Vancouver, Canada
