Devotion is a fragile vessel that must be cultivated and protected. Its value lies in the feeling, not in physical objects. As that inner feeling increases, spiritual benefit increases; if it decreases, the benefit is lost. Doubt is a crack in this vessel, destroying its inner resonance and harmony. It can spoil devotion as lemon curdles milk, transforming its essence. This inner purity is the proper vessel for spiritual wisdom. Without it, teachings are lost. The body is temporary, but one should maintain health without excessive focus on it. The ultimate aim is the supreme reality. "Benefit is in the bhāva (feeling, value), not in the goods." "Doubt is a crack in a beautiful vase or an instrument. When there is a crack, there is no resonance." Filming location: Australia

Yoga is the universal path for human health, harmony, and happiness, serving all creatures. It is the most ancient divine work, described in the Vedas, designed to remove negative energy and elevate consciousness. All divine incarnations and saints realized divinity through yogic techniques like meditation, prayer, and universal love. To believe in and know God are yogic principles. Religions later developed from the teachings of saints, but yoga existed before any were named. All religions aim for the one God and contain yogic techniques. The practice leads to self-realization by freeing one from negative karma. Actions are your choice, but their results are your unchangeable destiny. Desire causes trouble and illness. The path requires tolerance, respect, understanding, trust, and harmony. Support the young generation and live with love, helping others and practicing conscious renunciation. Work to harmonize with all, respecting every place of worship and removing ego. Practice leads to happiness and the merging of individual consciousness into the cosmic. "Karma is in your hands; you can do what you want. It is your decision. But the result, the fruit of your action, is not in your hands." "Tolerance for T, respect for R, U for understanding, T again for trust in God, and H for harmony. That is the truth." Filming location: Vienna, Austria DVD 491

The inner battle is governed by the polluted antaḥkaraṇa, making bhakti yoga the essential path in Kali Yuga. The antaḥkaraṇa consists of four principles: manas, buddhi, citta, and ahaṁkāra. These are polluted by malā, vikṣepa, and āvaraṇa. The mind is particularly greedy, tempted, restless, and a thief; it is a reflection one cannot correct by cleaning the mirror. This restless mind governs the other principles and leads one astray. Impurities from countless lives persist as tenacious saṃskāras. Knowledge and dispassion can split these deep impressions. In this age, the destructive energy is strong. The only boat for crossing the ocean of existence is the repetition of the name and mantra through bhakti yoga. "Mana lobhī, mana lalacī, mana cañcal, mana cor." "Kali yuga kevala nāmādhāra, sumira sumira nara hoi bhava pāra." Filming location: Vép, Hungary
