The path of the human
Human life is a struggle to find the path back to our origin, like a river flowing to the ocean or rain seeking the sea. The soul travels through ages, and a human birth is a chance to return. We are all moving toward the light, bound by belief and destiny, which exists whether we accept it or not. Attachment leads the soul astray, causing it to descend into lower lives. The Guru principle is supreme; it can alter what seems destined and guides the soul back. Following the Guru's instruction is essential for liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Our spiritual lineage originates from the Himalayan master Alakpurījī, connecting through a succession of masters to the present. We are fortunate to have this guidance toward merging with the eternal light.

Yoga, the inner engineering
Satsang with Vishwaguruji, summer retreat in Strilky Ashram, Czech Republic. There are different levels of our being such as: Atma, Jivatma, consciousness/awareness, mind, emotion, senses, desires, physical body and energy body. There is an inner balancing mechanism to distribute energy to the whole body. With proper inner engineering we should avoid destroying our system. We need healthy seasonal eating and enhanced practice such as Pranayam.
The truth is tapas
The Kumbha pot symbolizes the nectar of immortality, a truth within spiritual practice. During the Kumbh Melā, bathing at the sacred confluence during an auspicious constellation cleanses karma and bestows blessings. I took the ritual bath for all devotees, transferring the merits for their health and realization. The immense gathering generates a collective spiritual energy that awakens inner strength. However, the spiritual path is often obscured by false claims of psychic powers and siddhis. Many pretend to see auras or tell futures, exploiting pure-hearted seekers. Such lies are a great sin and a major obstacle. True spiritual power manifests naturally through presence and goodness, not for show or gain. Do not be deceived by those offering magical solutions or creating fear. Your focus must remain on genuine devotion and practice under a true lineage. Expectations lead to disappointment; be like the steadfast banyan tree, providing shelter without attachment. The ultimate goal is self-realization, ending all suffering.
"Satya barabar tap nahi, jhoot barabar pāp—there is no austerity more than truth, and no greater sin than to lie."
"Be that banyan tree which welcomes everyone, is never overwhelmed, and never sad."

Human being is miraculous - Yoga Practice

Be patient like a tree
The evergreen tree of satsaṅg is sustained by devotion, not by the number of leaves. An ancient banyan tree lamented the loss of all its leaves, feeling its accumulated wisdom would die with it. A gardener pruned its ill parts, promising new growth. By spring, the tree was full of healthy leaves, becoming beautiful and rich in companionship again. This illustrates that in satsaṅg, when people leave, they are like ill leaves ripe to fall. Remain steadfast. A gardener who made garlands was offered vast sums by a king and a merchant for a special garland meant for Gurudeva. Realizing the true value was in the offering itself, he renounced the money and offered the garland directly. He was then gifted immense wealth and a kingdom. This shows renunciation brings the true reward. Do not depend on others' presence or love. If they leave satsaṅg, they leave their own good destiny; they may return after hard experiences. Be like a tree surviving alone on a mountain, faithful in all circumstances. The mistake is thinking nobody loves you. Simply be there.
"Therefore, don't worry if you have more or fewer bhaktas in satsaṅg or in class."
"That's called renunciation. Renounce and enjoy the love. He is the winner."
