Gurudev can make the impossible possible
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."

Awakening within a human body
The heart is central to spiritual development and the awakening of divine joy through Kundalini.
Destiny is the fruit of karma; every situation has meaning. Face destiny to be free from it. The heart feels everything quicker than the intellect. A divine light resides within it, the light of the Ātmā. Every creature with a heart carries God's manifestation. Negative energy produces desires and fear, while desirelessness brings true happiness and richness. This body is a wondrous creation where God resides and speaks. No heart is empty of the divine presence. Harsh words wound the heart, and only love and mantra can heal it. When Kundalini awakens and touches the heart, it overflows with devotion and happiness, leading to bhāva samādhi. This state is the highest joy and a healing process for the body. Understanding the meaning of words in prayer or song allows them to penetrate the consciousness and induce this samādhi. Sound, light, and energy from mantras have a healing effect, travel

Mystery Of Our Body
The human body is a wondrous and indescribable coach. Its intricate design, with billions of cells and synchronized systems, is a perfect creation no human engineer can replicate. We know only a fraction of its mysteries. Within it reside unseen forces—both divine and destructive—that govern our happiness and sorrow. The ten senses are like wild horses pulling this coach; without mastery, they lead to ruin. External impressions through these senses awaken desires, which are the root of all trouble. Therefore, one must withdraw inward like a turtle, using intellect and discipline to control the senses. This inner city is full of cheaters, but you are the king of your mind and senses. Do not become their slave. Yoga is the science of gaining this mastery over body, mind, and consciousness to cross the ocean of worldly life.
"Vāsanā hi duḥkhāṅka kāraṇa hai." Desires are the cause of troubles.
"Tū kāya nagar kā rājā, man indriye tumhārī prajā." You are the king of this city, your mind and senses are your subjects.
