A Gathering in Grace
It is good to see everything, to understand fully the practices and mantras. This understanding brings greater happiness and allows one to see all spiritual activities clearly.
The mind often works in confusion, attached to worldly things and selfish actions, which leads to suffering. The sincere prayer is to be awakened from this sleep, to be turned toward selflessness and real knowledge, and to become a giver. The gathering itself is a beautiful opportunity, a reason for happiness, with the promise of more to come.
"O Lord, bless me that I do not waste my life."
"Turn me into the lover of selflessness."

Bhajans from Oosterhout
The only longing is the dust of the holy feet of the Satya Guru. All desires for heavenly pleasures, riches, and even liberation are rejected. Liberation itself is but a servant at those lotus feet. Meeting the real Satya Guru annihilates all mental confusions. False knowledge from countless guides is removed. The Guru reveals the real truth. The true inner nature is discovered within. In the heart, God is met. The flame of the individual soul merges into the cosmic flame. Like fragrance permeating a blossom, the eternal truth fills every heart. All doubts dissolve, and all karmas are destroyed. Inside everything abides one eternal truth; external appearances are merely its forms. The prayer arises: “Satya Guru, show the real, indescribable Purusha.” The Guru’s word is not mere words; it encompasses all. The realized one, intoxicated by the sadguru’s name, is deep as the sky, sweet as nectar, cool as the ocean. Such a one has no desires in the three worlds. Such a one sees diamond and stone as equal, has no fear, and remains unmovable in life and death.
"He does not look at castes, and he does not look at status. For him, diamond and stones are the same."
"This divine traveler is a hero among the greatest heroes."

Eat well and practice
The beauty of life is found in its natural state, not in artificial enhancements. Nature displays a beautiful spectrum of color and age. Fashion and chemical products like makeup stem from desire, which hinders higher consciousness. These items are expensive, full of chemicals, and create dependency while damaging the skin. Yoga practice regenerates the body, improves circulation, and supports glands and organs. Natural oils like sesame or olive oil are healthy for the skin, unlike blocking creams. Our diet is crucial; natural foods are needed as the body will produce what it lacks. Avoid excessive meat, linked to cancer, and processed foods. Dedicate time daily to yoga and prāṇāyāma for health, happiness, and true beauty that comes from within.
"Fashion kills people... As long as you have desire, you cannot proceed towards higher consciousness."
"Yoga regenerates our body, the cells, our skin. It is great support for our gland systems, organs, and blood circulation."

Program from Brisbane
Divine incarnations and saintly guides appear to restore balance and grant liberation.
Dharma and adharma exist in parallel until the great dissolution. When negative forces dominate, a purposeful divine descent occurs to protect righteousness and devotees. These descents are not constant but arise from necessity, like a government intervening in crisis. Simultaneously, eternal descents manifest as holy saints in every age. They guide and protect. A seeker's intense longing is the essential fire that draws divine grace. This longing, a pain infused with joy, is the path. The Guru embodies the supreme principle, acting as creator, protector, and liberator. The Guru's grace is the sole vessel for crossing the worldly ocean. Heaven is a limited realm based on past good works, not the final goal. Liberation lies beyond, attained through devoted effort and the Guru's mercy. The pure soul should feel blessed, not guilty, for this human opportunity to seek the divine.
"Time to time I manifest myself... to protect the pure souls and to destroy the adharma."
"The name of the Gurudev is the boat. Those who will sit in with devotion and confidence, be sure that Gurudev will bring you to the mainland."
