Bhajan evening in Strilky Ashram
22:20 - 23:24|Recorded on 24 Jun 2024
Without a true mind, nothing is purified. The mind cannot be purified without being true. Whether one performs austerities or pilgrimages, or practices yoga and samadhi, all is in vain without the true mind. The grace of the Satguru is essential. Upon seeing the Guru's form, the mind can attain supreme ecstasy. All spiritual practices depend on the Guru's word and grace. The true mind and the Guru's grace are the sole means to the divine.
"Mana saccā binā nahīṁ sudhare."
"Sat guru nama chaha, chahe panama chaha visa vi desha."

Attain true knowledge and unity through devotion and righteous conduct. Pursue real knowledge by following spiritual association and duty, abandoning aimless wandering. Purify the heart by contemplating sacred texts and cultivating love for the humble. Cease all internal quarreling. Emulate the great saints who endured severe trials. Through meditation on the divine, achieve self-independence. This attainment brings both spiritual and worldly prosperity. Meeting the formless, unsupported Guru brings unity through divine sight and song.
"Remove all impurities and reflect upon the Vedas and Purāṇas. Have love in your heart for the meek."
"Meditate on Śiva Śaṅkara and attain svarāja, self-independence. Then you will gain great wealth, both spiritual and worldly."
The Path of Grace and Guidance
0:10 - 1:10

From: 12 Apr 2025
The main topic is the path of the guru, encompassing wisdom, practice, and liberation.
First, pray to Gaṇeśa for protection and wisdom. The guru is this form of Gaṇeśa. The master gives information about the universe and the aim to become one with the Self. Practice systematically and slowly to cross all obstacles, purifying the nervous system, thoughts, and feelings. The outer world tempts with sensory satisfaction, which can pull one down. To reach the highest aim, one needs a master who knows the safe way and gives mantras and support. Repeat the name of God or the mantra to connect with the highest energy, liberating from ignorance and wrong identification with the body. Worldly toys change and disappoint; the inner Self is complete and without suffering. The guru is a paras stone that converts the disciple into a swan, a liberated soul. Without the guru, life had no sense; with the master, there is no more suffering. Realize the guru in yourself.
"Please, do not forget, this is always disappointing, and it will not change. You should understand, you should think on this highest, on God, because this is the inner Self, and that is what we are searching for."
"Realize your guru in yourself."

Repeat the name of Gurudev

The human birth is a rare and urgent opportunity. The scriptures and all aspects of existence point to a single imperative. The sole necessity is to fix the mind upon the Guru's name. This precious human form is exceedingly difficult to obtain again. One must become truly human in this very moment. By being steadfast in this practice, the vision of the true Self is attained. Do not waste this fleeting chance.
"Oh lamp of qualities, Hari, fix your mind on the Guru’s name. This opportunity will not come again; be human."
"This is the totality of knowledge: to be human."

The Law of Karma: Our First Guru
1:50 - 2:45
|
From: 28 Feb 2015
The law of karma is the fundamental principle governing life and our first spiritual teacher.
Karma means action, a universal law of cause and effect like gravity. It operates through body, speech, mind, and wealth or position. Physical acts are obvious, but mental activities and emotions create even stronger karma. Using wealth or authority to instigate action generates multiplied karma for the instigator. This world is Karma Bhūmi, where we experience, create, and purify karma. The law's purpose is pedagogical, teaching through consequences to overcome negative qualities like selfishness and develop positive ones like compassion. It is a slow and often painful teacher, leading one to seek ethical guidelines and ultimately a guru for clearer guidance. Karma is stored as subtle vibrations in the causal body, accompanying the soul and necessitating reincarnation until all karmas are purified.
"Who cannot give life has not the right to take life."
"The law of karma is our first guru."
